i'll wait, so show me why you're strong
[ Generally, people need time to cope and gather themselves after a... thing... like that. Unfortunately, that's not how Vanille sees it. Her thing is avoid, and once she gets out of that hellhole that's the courtroom, she makes her way to the supplies closet, then to the library. She spends some time setting up things, pushing things aside to make room. Once she's finished, and she's met up with the Party Brigade, she makes enough invitations for everyone. She slips them under everyone's doors, or hands them out if she sees someone walking around.

Inside the library, there are candles set up to provide some soft, comforting lighting. There are pots of tea, courtesy of Mercy, pancakes made by Viktor, and books (picked out by Estelle, of course) laid out on the surrounding tables. The others have provided their own touches, and Vanille's even managed to make something: sugar cookies, which are actually very good. They're flavored lightly with all sorts of flavors--not all in the same cookie, okay--and each plate is marked with whatever flavor she's put in them.
After a successful trial, it's healthy to indulge, right? Let's mingle. ]

But sympathy isn't anything much, really.
The vampire needed to survive, and now aware of how the mechanics of someone dying worked...
Hnnn.
She goes back to Room 11, and you might hear some sounds of things breaking apart if you pass it. It's something she's been putting off for the past day or two, but it's not ... well. She's gong to sleep well, if she must sleep on schedule with that damned clock. However, when the invitation comes after that, she grimaces. But soon enough that turns into a smirk, and s the vampire can be found in the Library long enough to see how people with more sentimentality than her are handling it. She doesn't last, of course, not with this mood. No, she lasts there just long enough to let people see her, maybe to talk to Hanyuu in particular, and then leaves. As day shifts towards night, Elda Marker is left ghosting through the halls for a spell before finally just going back to her room.
Through it all she's generally keeping herself upbeat, or at least by comparison. But she's also on edge and pensive. ]

...are you throwing furniture at the wall in there? I mean, I sympathize, but...

It's a totally valid form of stress relief, even if you might need some duct tape later.

This bed's too soft, I'm trying to make it at least look or feel like a proper coffin.

Okay.
