In Between

by Tero Ne

This is a collection of side stories to accompany Waiting for the End. This is a post-game speculation of what would happen to the characters. Every player (minus the first session trolls) is brought back to life in a universe that is a stable mix of Earth and Alternia. There will be one tale with multiple parts. Small summaries at the top of each chapter.
