Epilogue
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.

[That's a harsh reality to try adn swallow. It's not one that Keith's handling well right now.]
no subject
I just think it'd complicate things. Maybe they wouldn't turn their backs on me, but I don't know for sure.
[he has a feeling that if he showed up the others would call him an evil doppelganger, or something!]
no subject
[Not a flavor of complicated that team Voltron are unused to, considering the unending clusterfuck that is Shiro's life, but he can't even really begin to imagine what the other version of himself might even think about his own existence.
It's weird to think that maybe.. maybe he's a little jealous of this other Keith who know what his place is, who he is to his friends, but with a bitter clenching of teeth he forces the thought aside.]
What are you going to do about your brother?
[Dude's on the printing queue and all.]
no subject
Well, I'll have to explain what happened. Then we're probably going to... [he trails off. what are they going to do?] ...Maybe we'll start lookin' for a place to stay.
no subject
[A beat.]
What're you gonna tell them anyway? The whole story?
[He imagines some details like Franciscus's execution might be uh... fuckign awkward to put it mildly.]
