And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you.

[This week, Varric opted to take a page from Vanille’s book. Gathering everyone together after the roller-coaster that the first trial had been proved to be somewhat cathartic for himself. He hoped that it would prove to do the same for the others.]

[He wasn’t alone, of course, having found himself blessed with the most ragtag team of chefs and party-planners. He might have had words for and thoughts on Elda and Kimbley, Mikazuki was welcome company, and he wasn’t about to turn away potential allies, even in a fight as simple as cooking dinner.]

[Once everyone’s set to a task, baking a cake, brewing tea, or stirring stew (the only task Varric could think to assign Elda to), Varric excused himself to his room. His first task was writing up cards, each personally titled and signed by Varric.]


Food in the Library. 5 p.m. Don’t spend the night alone.


[Each note was slid under a door and accompanied by a single rap on the wood.]

[With his tasks completed, Varric returned to the kitchen to put out any potential fires and, with luck, set the food out. A table in the library would be adorned with plenty of tea, cake, pancakes courtesy of Viktor, and stew thanks mostly to Varric (sorry, Elda).]

[Estelle actually goes and grabs some food at the afterparty when she notices he's not there. It's a chance she'll take and well, while others may be mourning for Alani, she knows Killia will likely not recover from losing Christo.

So she knocks on his door.]


Killia?

[Her voice is filled with concern. While she figures his door is locked, she still tries the door knob-- and oh...]

Killia, I'm coming in.

As well as can be, with everything considered.

[The trial was nonsense for a good while, before everything got real. That's an insane amount of whiplash. Still...]

It's still hard to believe this is real, sometimes.

[Estelle is at the library, but she’s there to grab some food and she then leaves almost as soon as she has a plateful. It’s not much longer later that she’s back grabbing another plateful. Naturally, she’ll speak with anyone who chooses to speak with her, after all, she’s not rude. However, it’s clear she’s not staying this time.

If anyone tries her room, they will find that she is not there. At the moment, unless people know where she is exactly, she won’t be found just by randomly looking for her.]

...I don't know.

[He's not blowing the guy off, from the sound of it, he just...doesn't know.]

Apparently I got my shit together somehow, before I was brought here. I'd kind of appreciate being able to talk to the guy that helped me out with it, I guess, and this is just the next best thing.

[...large pink WHAT IS THAT is kind of just staring for the moment, sorta just. Hiding behind Lusamine. She doesn't really notice the Pokemon doing that, and speaks up.]

I'm glad to hear it. And thank you, for keeping your head at the trial. I think many of us needed to hear what you said.

Precisely.

What were you doing?

[ Viktor wasn't particularly close to Christo and Alani, but that trial was mentally exhausting nonetheless. Neither of them deserved to die.

When people begin to gather in the library, Viktor takes up a seat near one of the walls with a bowl of stew and a bottle of vodka, because he feels like he really needs a drink right now. He'll drink responsibly and eat plenty of food to slow the alcohol down, don't worry. ]

[good call, clefable]

I hardly claim to be any kind of rallying leader. I only told Alani the truth of the matter.

[ he does knock on the door to be fair, but also plans to let herself in assuming nothing stops her. she whispers into the room for her calling, ]

Hey, Mei, you're up, right?

[Hey, Clefable. You want some cake? It's good cake.]

We'll have to adapt, at least a little.

[...He's not going to suggest out loud that the ones who don't are probably gonna eat it, but he's sure as hell thinking it.]

[ Varric's story about Adelina brought tears to her eyes. It was short but powerful and beautiful all at once, and probably one of the most respectful things anyone could have done in her honor. Orihime takes some solace in knowing that he's written one once more. ]

It's...It's what Alani-san deserves.

[ A happy ending. ] And Christo-san, too.

[Well, he knows exactly who won't be at the afterparty the moment he spots the invitation. Once he's sure the kitchen is clear and he can take a moment to sort himself out (kind of; it requires a lot more effort than he would have thought) he prepares cream puffs and takes them to Killia's room.

The knocking isn't urgent, but it's loud and forceful.]


Open up, Killia.

[IF YOU DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR HE'LL JUST STAND HERE AND KEEP KNOCKING FOREVER]

[ Varric... is too good for this place, too. Everyone is. Varric's always been there for her.

She wishes she could be better for him, for Orihime, for her friends here and back home. ]


M-making promises he can't keep... that's... that's wrong, she shouldn't have had to--! Neither of them...

Seriously, who would have thought I'd still be talking with you guys all this time later. Or that we'd be another trial in like this.

[ . . . Sigh. ]

[That's...]

...I trust that you are being truthful in this matter, but I am not doing this out of obligation. I'd like to help, if I can.

[She doesn't believe that Estelle isn't at least somewhat screwed up by this, but...she's not going to be forceful.]

[personal profile] alchemicals 2017-02-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
No, someone else. It's more to get my thoughts in order than anything else, I guess, I don't think they're going to be delivered or anything.
