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. ]

I mean we don't... boil the water or anything! And it only works if you can stay underwater for a while, I wouldn't expect anyone else to...

[ She sighs. ]

You could also drink it, technically. That would probably be closer to a dry land tradition.

[well, okay, but-]

Is...there any way you could get an approximation of it here? Concoct something in the kitchen?

[iamthatsea]

[ She ponders that for a second. ]

Maybe? I'm not exactly used to mixing it myself, but I might be able to at least approximate the taste.

[oyashiromama]

...there's little I could do to, but...I could assist you in that, if you need it. Or...if you would like company.

[iamthatsea]

[ A smile. ]

Company would be nice.
