Epilogue

[cartesio]

Welcome to Cartesio!

You open your eyes and see the ceiling of the lodge. There is no real sensation of having slept, but you're still feeling rested. Sitting up, you can see that the building around you is in ruins. Dust and dirt dominate your environment. Around you, there are familiar people - some of them you've been with up until now, some of them you have been brutally forced to part with weeks ago. They all look alright, a little confusion aside.

From a corner of the room, you can hear the soft whirring of a machine. Upon examination, you can see that it's 3D-printing more gelatinous bodies like you've seen earlier today. Every body that is dispensed from the machine is a safe haven for another mind from the simulation, another mind to join your ranks as real people.

After you've adjusted to the new situation and left the lodge, you find yourself greeted with perfect sunshine. There's a town welcoming you, friendly and peaceful. Though it is more modern than what you are used to, there is no mistaking it.

Cartesio, Nevada, welcomes you.

You're new people, in a new world. Every chance it has to offer is open for you.

[ Basically, that's about how the size of things were. Bakugou has proven before that he's perfectly capable of not always bugging the crap out of people he doesn't like. But now that things are like this, there's not much reason for avoidance.

Still, Bakugou wasn't going to seek Dabi out. But instead it seemed the other did himself, and when he drew closer, the blond eyed him warily, posture stiff and tense even before he opened his damn mouth. ]

Tch, don't even bother like you wouldn't fucking know. [ What his 'other self' would think. ] You're probably just going to move your slimy ass back there, aren't you?

[ Because really where else would the villain decide to go? He'd probably just go wherever he could make the most trouble or so that's where his biased line of thinking went.

Bakugou's also sure he's going to have a rough time as Dabi insinuated, but ... it's not an easy decision whichever way he's chosen. Maybe that's why it's happening, because it would be the most difficult option. ]

Wasn't sure if you knew, brat. Haven't seen you use your head the entire time we've been here, thought you might've lost it. [ Bakugou's assumptions are fair, and Dabi doesn't mind playing into them. Been too long and all of that. ]

You're not worried 'bout me, are you? [ Safe to say that Bakugou has it right, though. ]

[kingbomber]

[ At that point, his wariness gives more into his general angry persona. That didn't last very long, did it... ]

Sounds like that's just because you're going fucking blind, you dumbass stitched up fucker.

[ That was very nice of him to say. ]

Why the hell would I be worried about someone like you?

[ Having Two Dabis back home is actually worrisome, because copy or not, he still cares about what happens there. He can't change that. ]

[amburere]

Right, that's why I lasted much longer than you did. [ He shrugs with a smirk. ]

Why else you askin' where I'm going, brat? Concerned, nosy, or stupid enough to think I'd actually tell you anything.
