Everywhere And Nowhere, Including In Your Back Yard, Monday

[endsthegame]

When the Nothing was released, some of its nature was altered. To do the job it was released to do, it would need to have a broader... concept of the universe, in as much as it had anything at all. And so for weeks it had spun around, gobbling up the forgotten, clearing away the unnecessary.

And then suddenly, the eye of its storm had changed. So many creatures from so many places in so many times, some from the same places but in different lives, some from the same places but in different times. And some-- some came from realms that had just gone wrong. What was remembered? What was forgotten?

The answer was simple:

All things could be forgotten.

The Nothing clouds spread thinner, further, spinning out of control, no longer set on limited parameters but on everything, to make everything... nothing.

The unbeings that had released it were pleased: things were finally getting back on schedule.

"Another annoyance," Lucifer said, finally looking away from the window. "It can't come any closer."

For now.

"It's been wiping out patches of the Dreaming," Dream revealed. "Library books, mostly. A handful of nightmares. Nothing I can't fix."

He glanced out the window himself, watched the dark devour a few trees.

"It's not our problem." For now. "But I think it will pass."

The corner of Lucifer's mouth turned up in a distant sort of smile. "Doesn't it always?"

"So far, so good," Death said, a quick, slight smile of her own darting across her face. "So ... we wait, and if they can't handle it out there, then we see what we can do."

And if they couldn't do anything ... Death would be the last one to go, and she'd make sure she turned out the lights before locked the door on the multiverse and figured out whatever was next. But that felt almost as much of a long way off as it ever did.

"They've managed so far." Somehow.

He shrugged, heading for the bar. "A drink then? To the end of world as we know it. Again."

"To all the ends of all the worlds as we know them," Dream corrected, showing that thing that was almost enough to convince those who knew him he might have a sense of humor. Maybe. If you squinted.

He picked up his wine.

"... again."
