Spoiler for Lore:

Linkcat woke up in a rather strange manner the day after the event.

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and there was a man in a stretcher being carried to an ambulance.

As he stared at the aftermath of a car accident unfolding outside his window, he couldn't help but notice a familiar face.

There was Submachine, cleaning a cluster of shredded metal and blood that had landed on the adjoining road.

He's been gone for weeks, thought Link. I wonder how he managed to not get fired.

Spoiler for Lore:

Submachine was minding his own business when a car decided that it no longer wanted to exist.

It finalized its decision by going out in a burst of flame and shrapnel.

A small ball of crushed steel landed a few feet in front of him. He really didn't get paid enough to clean bloody, burnt steel off the ground.

It was a miracle he was still getting paid at all, actually.

Luckily, being chased by ghosts is a valid medical emergency.

Spoiler for Lore:

The man handed Dawn 1500 electrum and thanked him for his time.

That was the last relic that he was willing to sell. He kept the ones he could find a use for. (Well, actually, the 8-bit cube wasn't all that useful, but it looked cool enough.)

With no more sales pitches left to make, Dawn decided to take a vacation.

Next stop: Ace City, land of blackjack and questionably legal favors.

He didn't see himself taking part in any of the latter.

Spoiler for Lore:

UTAlan wound up opening his very own store with the money he'd earned.

It was a small building near a popular intersection in the middle of the city. The location was fine.

The only problem was that he could never decide what to sell.

At first, he tried selling furniture. Then he tried clothing. Then video games, sandwiches, ice cream, and finally card games.

Right now, he's determined that movie rentals are his true calling.

[skyironsword]

Spoiler for Lore:

Schadel returned to his old life of doing absolutely nothing interesting.

Most of his time in this world would be spent flipping burgers and counting customer purchases, despite the money from his maze delve.

His weekends remained filled with mindless TV and web surfing, and his holidays were still filled with family members. Nothing out of the ordinary.

At the moment, he seems to have found a job at a movie rental place. For once in his life, Schadel's customers did not want fries with that.

Epilogue

Image Link

Etherian life returned to normal, at least for a little while.

Workers traveled on their daily commute, children tapped away on their phones, and criminals tried not to draw too much attention.

Teenagers drove to their minimum wage jobs, police officers ticketed some of those teenagers, and lightning bolts electrocuted some of those police officers.

The Maze sat in its usual position, acting as a dull, derelict building taking up otherwise usable space.

The last survivors of the second Relic Sweeper competition moved on with their lives.

Some would fall into obscurity, never to be heard from again.

Others would venture onwards in search of a new thrill.

One would find it in the casino-filled land of Ace City.

*raises hand* So wait, are you -actually- just going to open up all the safes anyway? >.> Or are you looking for more votes sky?

[worldwideweb3]

Does open all safes mean they will be visible to everyone, or once stepped on them, they dont need to be decoded?
