more postpostgame stuff — estelle & co

ugh listen you guys just don't get it.... like ok yeah you guys have really like fucked up and weird parents or something but my papa and maman are the saviors of vaugarde............. it's really hard out for here for me, estelle, the center of the known universe

(original design concepts by @yonch!)

also introducing estelle's besties, antoine (scissors, 15, he/him) and johanne (rock, 14, she/her). like estelle, they have also managed to fall to the outer rings of the social sphere amongst the house's teenagers: antoine for his messy love(?) life, and johanne for the cardinal sin of being a little too socially awkward.

although they originally befriended estelle due to her status as "daughter of two saviors of vaugarde", it turns out they make a great trio of Scorned Teenagers With #Issues.

{Location: Fogmorre Castle, White Drawing Room}

Crown Princess Margaret of Wessex: Now, Richie when we get inside, remember to mind your manners.

Prince Richard of Wessex: "tokay" mommy.

Queen Anne II of Wessex: Awe, there's my handsome man.

Prince Richard: granny! granny!

Anne II: How much I've missed you. And look at how you've grown! Papa will be so excited to see you.

Margaret: Richie go over and give Granny a hug.

Richard: where is papa?

Anne II: Papa went down to the village for bit with uncle George and aunt Alberta.

Margaret: George and Albie have made it here then?

Anne II: They just arrived a bit ago. And dear how are you? I surprised you arrived so early.

Margaret: I wanted to get a head start and beat the holiday traffic.

Anne II: You drove all the way from Dorset? We would have sent one of the choppers to get you two…or three.

Margaret: Just two, the Watcher only knows where your son is.

Anne II: (brief pause) … Well, yes… I’m just glad you both made it.

Anne II: How are things in Dorset? I hear you've re-planted the garden at Aldridge Lodge.

Margaret: You’ll have to come see it. The rose garden should be beautiful in the Spring.

Anne II: That would be nice. And the last time I talked to William you two were thinking about schools for Richard?

Margaret: umm, yes. I think Yeovil Boys Day School. But I’m not sure where that stands or where we stand at the moment. I’m sure you’ve heard that things had been err strained between William and I.

Anne II: (uncomfortable) Well I wasn't going to pry, but since you brought it up. Staff does talk amoungst themselves, and certain things have gotten back to me.

Margaret: I rarely see him any more. He spends so much time at that social club of his or out on meetings.

Anne II: Meetings about what?

Margaret: He doesn’t tell me. Nether what they’re about or who they’re with.

Anne II: And the club you’re referring to is the same one he goes to with David?

Margaret: Yes, that's the one.

Anne II: Well I think it’s time you two come to some kind of accordance.

Margaret: What do you mean?

Anne II: Think, you two are not just raising a son, but a future King. I was never expected to wear the crown and didn't recieve the same education or preparation as my elder sister. You two have the opportunity to start from scratch. But of course you can’t do that if you both aren’t on the same page.

Margaret: We always put Richie first.

Anne II: A child shouldn’t grow up in a home full of rancor.

Margaret: Maybe you’re right.

Anne II: With time these things tend to sort themselves out.

Anne II: Well I won't keep the two of you. We should all get ready for dinner soon.

Hihii ive been going insane abt itat since like the day i saw it lmao i love it sm

I’m kinda wondering, does Odile have a thing she just can’t look at the same after the loops are over? Like how Siffrin is with bananas n stuff?

Or is that gonna be saved for like. later or smthn

She'd eventually figure out how to get the familytale

She'd even read through it multiple times

But with everything happening... As time "goes on" it gets hard to look at

She stops asking for it

(full game isat spoilers. its act 3 but with au stuff i might use knowledge from the later acts so you know)

Search Quest

TTOS version of Fetch Quest from ISAT

(Bonnie is here, looking at what the shop has to offer.)

Loop: "Bonnie."

Bonnie: Oh, hi, Loop. Bonnie: Glad to see you are rested. Don't want you snoozing on the big day, hehe. Bonnie: Anyway, how can I help you?

Loop: (...)

"Clocktower, sleepover"

"We are fighting the Scary Lady tomorrow..."

"Anything weird happening lately?"

"Can I help you with anything?"

"Nah, nothing."

Bonnie: Do I need help...? Bonnie: ....

(Bonnie looks away, thinking about it, and then suddenly looks like they remembered something.)

Bonnie: Oh, yeah, I do. Bonnie: I need a book. Not a particularly specific book, though.

Loop: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Bonnie: It has to be a cooking book and has to be super old. As old as you can find. Bonnie: Preferably a big one, too. But it being old is more important. Bonnie: You got all that?

Loop:

"Got it, boss!"

"Oh, I think the boulangerie has a book like that."

Bonnie: .....

(Bonnie does a facepalm.)

(Their expression is almost painful.)

Bonnie: ....of course they do ugh.... Bonnie: ..... Bonnie: Loop, will you come with me? To ask them if I can borrow it? Bonnie: Might take some time though. I can wait for you to finish your stuff first.

Loop:

"I can do it right now!"

"Yeah, I have some things to do..."

Bonnie: Thank you! Bonnie: Let's go, then.

(You and Bonnie are now hanging out!)

(You should head to the boulangerie....)

<Heading to the boulangerie...>

Big Boulanger: Hey there.

Bonnie: Hi! We've heard you've had a very old cooking book!

Big Boulanger: Cooking book, you say....

Bonnie: Yeah! I would like to borrow it for a little bit, if you dont mind.

Big Boulanger: ....Ah. I know which one you mean. It's the one I borrowed before the House froze. Big Boulanger: I was looking at some old croissant recipes in it....

(Oh come on.)

Loop: "Do you have it still?"

Big Boulanger: .... Big Boulanger: Do not.

Bonnie: Huh?...

Big Boulanger: Do you know Antoine, maybe? He lives at the east of town, in the house with no flowers, asked if he could borrow it. Big Boulanger: I couldn't deny it to a fellow cook, plus I already found what I was searching for, so....

Bonnie: Makes sense, I guess....

Loop: (Well, that sucks.) "Do you know if he has it now?"

Big Boulanger: I don't see why they wouldn't.

Bonnie: Welp, this is gonna take a bit longer then, I guess... Bonnie: House to the east of Dormont, with no flowers. Got it. We should head there, Loop.

<Heading there...>

Beautiful One: Oh...Hello!

Bonnie: Hi! You're Antoine, right?

Beautiful One: That sure is me. And you're two of the saviors, aren't you...? Beautiful One: Thank you for all you're doing. Best of luck for tomorrow.

Bonnie: Thanks! Um, we have a favor to ask... Bonnie: We've been told that you have an old cooking book. COuld we borrow it? For an hour, no more.

Beautiful One: ...Oh, I know which one you mean.... Beautiful One: ...

Bonnie: It's okay if you don't want to! We could--

Beautiful One: Oh, no, that's not the problem, I'd be happy to lend it to you. But, well... Beautiful One: I think one of the kids next door stole it from me?

(What.)

Bonnie: Huh?

Beautiful One: O-oh, I'm not saying they're bad kids!!! They're very nice kids!!! Very nice!!! Beautiful One: They just. Well. You know the three kids outside? Beautiful One: A few weeks ago, they passed by to help me cook some things, and, well... The book is gone, now.

Loop: (So...) "Sounds like we should talk to those kids."

Bonnie: Yeah.

Beautiful One: Good luck...?

(You exit the house.)

Bonnie: ....

Loop: "We'll get that book, Bonnie."

Bonnie: *sigh*. Bonnie: I know. Let's just go.

<Heading to the big rock...>

Bonnie: Hi kids!

(The middle kid with the small hat looks at you from their rock throne.)

Wizard-loving kid: Hi adults. Wizard-loving kid: What d'ya want?

Bonnie: ... Bonnie: Loop, how about you handle this?

Loop: (WHY YOU?!?) "Why me?"

Bonnie: You're closer to being a kid than I am. Also, a bit funny to see you try.

(Huh???)

Bonnie: Good luck!

Loop: (Okay...?)

"Do you know about cooking books?"

"Which one of you stole a cooking books?"

Wizard-loving kid: Yeah? Who doesn't???. Wizard-loving kid: Are you stupid?

Frog-loving kid: Manon, you can't ask adults if they're stupid...

Wizard-loving kid: Can't I? Look at them. Wizard-loving kid: They're short, and they hide their face, and their shoes are goofy, and their spiky hair DEFINITELY looks stupid and not cool.

Bonnie: Wow, even the shoes? Loop, how will you ever recover.

(You refuse to let such feeble provocations get to you.)

Loop: (What to say...) "Anyway, do you know about a veeeery old cooking book?"

Wizard-loving kid: Ah...

Frog-loving kid: Manon, I think he's asking about...

Wizard-loving kid: Shut up. I got this.

(The middle kid looks at you as disdainfully as they can.)

(Which is a lot.)

Wizard-loving kid: ... What if we do?

Loop: "We'd like to borrow it."

Wizard-loving kid: ...Trade.

Frog-loving kid: A trade, a trade!!!

Wizard-loving kid: We have something you do not. Knowledge. Offer us something in exchange.

Loop: (Um....)

"I have a silver coin."

"I have a flower."

"I have a pun."

Wizard-loving kid: ... Wizard-loving kid: TWO silver coins.

(You sadly show the single coin you have in your possession.)

Wizard-loving kid: What kind of adult only has one coin? Are you broke? DENIED.

Bonnie: ....How about barter? I could give you something.

Wizard-loving kid: Instead of actual money? I don't think so, adult.

Bonnie: Oh, not even....

(Bonnie removes something from under their hat.)

Bonnie: ...This?

(??????)

(It's a plate of various sweets.)

(Cantaloupe hard candy, cookies, palmiers....)

(How did they...?)

Wizard-loving kid: ....

(The kid is looking at the plate.)

(You feel like they will start drooling at some point. And you would not blame them. It smells heavenly.)

(Their eyes are a bit starry.)

Wizard-loving kid: I want that.

Bonnie: Hmmmmm? But haven't you said you wouldn't barter?

(The kid becomes slightly teary-eyed.)

Wizard-loving kid: Noooo, please, I will do anything!

(Bonnie lets out the biggest sigh.)

Bonnie: Okaaaaaaay, fiiiiiiiiine, but only if you give us the book first.

Wizard-loving kid: Yeah, of course!--

(The kid suddenly becomes a bit nervous and looks to the side.)

Wizard-loving kid: Um, okay, so, I--

Sky-loving kid: Manon doesn't have the book anymore.

Bonnie: ...huh?

Wizard-loving kid: Listen, Charline was being really annoying about wanting it so I gave it to her so she'd stop crying, okay!!!

Bonnie: And who would Charline be?

Wizard-loving kid: Um, Charline Chouquette? The boulanger's daughter.

Bonnie: ...

(Bonnie does another facepalm.)

(HA?)

(You can't help but laugh.)

Wizard-loving kid: Heh, look at the adult's face.

Bonnie: Loooooooop.

(You turn to Bonnie.)

Bonnie: We need to goooooo.

(You nod rapidly, and lead the way.)

(....Not before Bonnie actually gives the kids the plate though.)

(The children come closer to eachother to share it.)

Wizard-loving kid: Bye, adults! Let's play again soon!!!

<Going to the boulangerie. Again.>

Small Boulangère: Hi!

Bonnie: ....

(Bonnie sighs.)

Bonnie: Loop, can you do this one too? I'm a bit tired.

(You get closer to the counter and smile at the girl with your eyes.)

Loop: "Hi! We've heard you got a cool book!"

Small Boulangère: A book...? Small Boulangère: Oh! Oh, oh, oh, yes!!! From Manon!!! Small Boulangère: Manon is so nice!!! She gave me the book!!! The book with the recipes!!! Small Boulangère: Dad was reading it and now it's mine and I can read it myself!!! Small Boulangère: But it's boring. I want another book, Papa.

Big Boulanger: ...Wait, which book are you talking about, Charline?

Small Boulangère: This one!!!

(She shows you all a very old, very big book. The name seems to have been lost to time.)

Bonnie: ...

Big Boulanger: ... Big Boulanger: I'm so sorry.

Bonnie: ....no it's fine don't worry about it

(You got the OLD COOKING BOOK! Finally.)

(You both find a nice, silent place to talk...)

Bonnie: Okay. Defenitely took longer than it should have. Bonnie: But.... Finally...

(Bonnie has already opened a page, but isn't reading it, closing their eyes instead.)

Bonnie: ...

Loop: "So, uh, aren't you gonna use it for cooking or something?"

Bonnie: ...They said I could keep it until I have to leave Dormont, so I have time, but... Bonnie: ...

(They are still just holding it....)

(The cooking book you spent so much time trying to find.)

(It seems important to them, but why...?)

(...Wait.)

Loop: (Could it be...?) "Is this the birthday present you were looking for?"

(Bonnie reacts an entire two seconds later.)

Bonnie: Huh? Sorry?

Loop: "You were looking for a birthday present for your sister, right?"

Bonnie: Ah. Bonnie: I suppose I could tell you what is the deal with this book. Bonnie: ...Don't tell Mirabelle, okay?

Bonnie: I'll probably need to explain some backstory first. Bonnie: As you know, I have a sister, Nille. I talked about her quite a lot during our journey. Bonnie: But you might have noticed I never mention any other family I have. Why is that, you might think? Bonnie: ... Our parents... Weren't good to us, to say lightly. Bonnie: I could probably manage it on my own, but I wouldn't be able live with myself if I didn't try to help Nille. Bonnie: So... When I decided I was close enough to being an adult, I ran away from home with her. Bonnie: I don't regret this decision one bit. And I don't want to see them ever again. Bonnie: And that is why I only talk about my sister.

(Huh! You never knew.)

Bonnie: ... Bonnie: This was probably why we grew so close, cherishing and helping eachother despite all the challenges in our lives. There is a silver lining in every cloud, I suppose. Bonnie: And one thing that helped us bond even more was cooking, as you probably know already. Bonnie: When we were both younger we tried to cook various meals, as many different ones as we could find, just for fun. Bonnie: We would cook basically anything we could get the ingredients for. Bonnie: And one day.... We caught wind of a super rare recipe. Bonnie: We didn't know what it was for, or how to find it. It seemed to have been lost to time, actually. Bonnie: But it was told that this recipe was so amazing, that after taking the first glance at it you would think "Yes. This is the recipe." Bonnie: Obviously, we tried to search for it. In every library, in every dining place, all over Bambouche. Searched for it everywhere we could go back then. Bonnie: It wasn't even about the recipe, I think. The search was the thing that got us closer together. Bonnie: We weren't too bummed out to not find it anywhere where we lived. Bonnie: As years went on, this dream kinda.... Lost steam, I guess. We grew up, became too busy for active search, eventually stopped trying almost entirely. Bonnie: ....

(Bonnie looks away and frowns a bit, as if thinking about something.)

Bonnie: And then this whole thing happened. Bonnie: We were one of the first to be hit by the Curse. And Nille wasn't fast enough. Bonnie: While she was being turned into a lifeless statue, she made me promise that I would run as fast as I can. That I would survive. Bonnie: ....

(Bonnie struggles to continue speaking.)

Bonnie: ....Sorry. Bonnie: And you know me. I try to stay positive in every situation. Bonnie: So I thought that I could use this as an opportunity to continue the search. We had to pass a lot of towns, after all. Bonnie: I liked to imagine Nille's surprise if I returned from this journey with the thing that we have been seeking for years. Bonnie: ....It also helped me to distract myself. From thinking about....defeat. Bonnie: Like, if I find this book, I surely have to return safely. We surely will defeat the Scary Lady. Bonnie: .... Bonnie: And now I've found it! Well, you have, actually, I was just kinda there, heh.

Loop: "I couldn't deal with Manon without you."

Bonnie: Oh, right, yeah. Bonnie: But still, it's mostly due to you.

Loop: (!) "Please, it was nothing, teehee."

(You are just happy to help them.)

Loop: (But...) "Why didn't you tell us? We could have helped you!"

Bonnie: ...I for some reason felt like I needed to be the one to find it. Probably was dumb thing to think. Bonnie: I only managed to ask you for help today because this is our last day before the house. Bonnie: Also, you two trying to guess was a bit funny. I don't think some utensils you suggested even exist.

(You chuckle a bit.)

(Yeah, it was pretty funny. You undestand why they wouldn't want Mira to know.)

Bonnie: Hah! Bonnie: Hah. Wow, I feel so much lighter now. Thank you again!

Loop: "For the book?"

Bonnie: Yeaaaah, but also for talking to me.

(Oh!)

Bonnie: Even just telling you about this helped a lot.

(The hood hides you blushing.)

Bonnie: Heh. Bonnie: .... Bonnie: ...You can go now. You probably have other stuff to do, I still need to copy the recipe for myself.

(You smile with your eyes, wave at Bonnie and head back into town.)

it's been 20 years and an old friend(?) is visiting. much to the fright of your daughter dearest.

(postpostgame sif design by @yonch)

[wessexroyalfamily]

{Location: Fogmorre Castle, County Avon, Kingdom of Wessex}

Prince Christian, The Earl of Gloucester: I just can't realize how anyone can be so blinded. She never realized what was obvious to us all?

Queen Anne II of Wessex: The fact that Charlotte's husband was cheating is scarcely a fault on her part.

Christian: Not fault. But how could she not have known about the affair? And to only realize your marriage is a sham by reading about it in the Sunday paper.

Anne II: Charlotte wouldn’t be the first women to turn a blind eye.

Christian: Thank the Watcher we have all boys.

Anne II: Yes well, get this topic out of your system and don't bring it up once everyone is here.

Christian: Why?

Anne II: I'm sure it's still a swore subject for Alexandra and Alex. And best not to jinx ourselves with the topic of divorce around you know who.

Christian: Speaking of swore, have you seen my back brace? The valet didn’t pack it with my usually things.

Anne II: I'm checking in with the moving team later on, I can ask after breakfast.

Butler: Breakfast ma'am.

Christian: And what time will the family arrive, again dear?

Anne II: …It seems everyone will join us for dinner tonight, and then leave at the end of the holiday weekend.

Christian: The kids aren’t staying longer?

Anne II: I think only cousin Arthur is expecting to stay the following week with us.

Anne II: I do hope everyone is on their best behavior, the last thing we need is a story for the press.

Christian: (chuckles) and by everyone, you mean William?

Anne II: (deep sigh) He's just been so distant lately, and apparently he and Margaret have been arguing again.

Christian: I have never seen two young people perfectly content with making themselves miserable.

Anne II: Yes, well better stay out of it.

Christian: I just hope they realize they need to put the inconsequential garbage behind and focus on what really matter. If not for their sakes, then for poor Richie's.

Anne II: It doesn’t sound like you’re keeping your nose out of it.

Christian: I’m only saying how idiotic it is for him to mope around at that club of his when he has a beautiful wife and a healthy child waiting a home, both begging for attention, but he’d rather spend his days at that social club with David.

Anne II: He does leave Margaret out in the cold. She all alone taking care of poor Richie.

Christian: It isn’t right, a father’s place is with his family. Not out galavanting in the night with the Watcher knows who.

Anne II: Well leave it alone. It’s not our place to meddle.

Christian: My dear, it is precisely our place to meddle.

A Breakfast Selfie with some nerds

This plays into a headcannon I have that Gray and Joy steal George and PJ at ungodly hours in the morning.

[kiwibrain]

She's reading the Paperasse Familytale

[yonch]

it's been 15 years and you can see better than ever

(design notes under the cut) (there are spoilers)

ok this got really long. here you go

sif:

ditched the cloak. it was collecting dust in their closet until recently, but they realized they don't need to cling to their grief so much anymore. someone else will need it more soon.

ditched the eyepatch. the prosthetic eye is a labor of love designed by isa, as is literally everything else they're wearing.

they cut their bangs finally and started braiding their hair back so it wouldn't obscure their vision as much anymore.

they like darker/tighter clothing and prefer function over form but unfortunately their gay ass boyfriend keeps treating them like a dress up doll so they're stuck wearing waistcoats and a fancy cloak. (they don't mind. it's designed to look like loop.) they keep flowers in their many pockets to give to people.

they're a woodworker in their free time. they don't usually talk about being any sort of savior so he just becomes sif the guy who's really good at carving birthday presents for people and also tags along with isa to charity parties and fundraisers

41 year old 5'1" they/he absolutely zero intention of Changing. bonded to isabeau. they adopted a kid who leo or i might post about some other time i think. her name is estelle.

isa: i'm not taking credit for the design that's by my friend @fembard /@leoweooo. i'll include his design notes

isa dresses mostly for comfort, he doesn't like wearing stuff that might get stained or ruined when he's dyeing clothes or chasing stelle around in the mud or something, all his fashion sense goes into his handiwork

he Changed a few more times over the 15yrs, eventually settled. picked up she/her pronouns again on the side but was never really able to ditch the name isabeau and he kinda ran out of names anyways...

kept the long hair, kept a few inches in height, very happy to fulfill the role of male (space) wife

can't ditch the kimono jacket it's the piece de resistance. odile influence and Wisening Of Age means its made with a little more knowledge of ka buan technique but still very clearly an Isa Design. the fabric is imported silk sif!!!!!!

39 year old Tall with a capital T he/she "i swear i'm not a weeaboo i'm just really into ka buan fashion" vaugardian indie clothing designer in your area help support this man in his attempts to use his family members as living advertisements for his brand

mira: with design input from @jastertown thank you my friend

i took a lot of inspiration for the sparkly, sheer fabric on her dress from euphrasie. she's not head housemaiden yet because she doesn't feel like she's ready but everybody knows it'll be her

speaking of inspiration. she's been taking a lot of fashion cues from a certain lady in dormont that she thought was kind of scary, but it turns out she's very nice? they're besties now.

she got rid of the earrings for a little bit but then she realized she just liked how they look on her. so now they go ding ding! it's for her and nobody else, and that's how she likes it.

moved her ornaments to her skirt because they ding ding more often there. her necklace also jingles with merriment.

38 year old she/her advanced cisgender+ legend who's realizing that people are trying to get her to be the pope but all she really wants to do is write yaoibait fiction that looks like it came straight off of ao3

odile:

my glorious hag. she started shrinking about 3 years ago. all those years of bending over books has finally caught up to her. her hips are fuuuuuucked. but she has a sick cane that sif carved for her so everything's okay

she was already pretty comfortable and settled in her sense of style when she was nearing 50 so i don't think she would change much. darker clothing maybe. ditched the high-waisted pants for some looser slacks.

she's started writing a familytale of her own. the only person she's told about it is bonbon, who caught her up way past their bedtime, and scribbled all over one of the pages. she'll pass it on to sif when the time's right, after she's written down everything she can remember about their family.

64 year old she/her wasian researcher recovering from hernia surgery who's getting really into things like "political activism" and "body craft law reformation in ka bue" and "making sure people aren't sourcing their hrt from back alleys"

bonnie:

prefers to go by boniface these days. it's cooler. more mature. please stop calling me bonbon that's a nickname from when i was 10 guys c'mon guys ugh fine frin you can still call me bonbon but not around my girlfriends ok (nobody calls them boniface except for odile)

speaking of which they have 3 butch lesbian girlfriends. this got established as a joke but i think they have it in them. they're still young!!!!!!! they should be at the club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they traveled for a while with everybody but eventually settled down back in bambouche to start a little family owned restaurant with nille featuring dishes from all over the globe. people travel from all over to get a taste of boniface's good eats... bambouche is bustling. (they have a few recipes that are sourced from the country. they meet people every once in a while who find something achingly familiar about it, and they usually direct those people to jouvente to get in contact with frin.)

26 year old they/them "i dont know how tall i am but i'm taller than za" chef cooker whose restaurant keeps lighting on fire because this time i swear nille i can figure out how to do cooking craft i swear i wont explode the kitchen this time please i promise

loop:

ok. this is where lozy gets to just talk about what he thinks happens post game. i think they stick around for way longer than they really should and follow the crew around on their travels (mostly invisibly) because they're sooo fucking scared of change they're sooo scared and they're so scared of their wish fucking up beyond belief. they're kind of incapable of aging or dying in this body and theyre like permanently 26 which is what spurs them to finally move on.

i think they go back to their timeline eventually after making a Brand New Wish to "go back to their real family." alas the universe leads and we can only follow. and it turns out loop has actually made a real family in stardust's world also. this is my justification for why they can pop in between sasasap and isat worlds without much repercussion. i think they're always permanently loop shaped in isat but i imagine they can probably go back to their original body in their home timeline... might design that later. who knows. i'm fucked like that

i just think they deserve a chance for their own happy ending you know. isat's a game about how it's never too late to communicate and how you shouldn't punish yourself forever and ever. and i think theyve punished themself enough you know.

ok tank you for reading if you read this far. it's really big and long so i would understand if you didn't. but i hope you liked it. thoughts appreciated. here's a little something for the people who read all the way through.
