I have a dream that I want to fulfill with you...

[tsugomori]

[ Well, that was an extraordinary trial to have... it was certainly filled with many things that wouldn't be lost to the memory of most, even for weeks to come. Although, the return to "normalcy" could be something that wouldn't seem like it was wanted, it was better than the alternative to returning to anything at all.

With ease, Mikazuki find himself setting up the usual party in the usual place-- that would be the library of course. Notes have been slipped underneath the doors of others, or hung up on the walls to alert them of this post-trial "celebration" -- which was more like a get-together of some sorts now than a real party. ]


Please join us in the library again. Of course, food and drink will be provided.

- Mikazuki, Orihime, Hanyuu, & Estelle

[ The food and drink has been set out, what with there being tea, vichyssoise, cream puffs, and fish for everyone to enjoy. ]

[It takes a moment, but Silver eventually opens the door... Just a crack. Gold is putting something away in their trunk in the background, and they've got a small party going on on their bed, but it's hard to make out anything else just yet.]

What's up?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Who is-- oh, it's four-eyes.]

You need something?

[foundfate]

Today was a really bad day and I don't want to be alone in my room anymore. You guys up for some company?

[Yeah he'll just be blatant like that with them. Silver he trusts well enough, and Gold...Silver can punch Gold if he gets rude.]

[feistytrader]

[...Well, Silver takes a quick look around the room before opening up.]

Come on in, but watch where you sit.

[Assuming that he's going to sit on the bed, there's Weavile, Polibo, and... shards. Shards and string.

Those might be shards of Chiyuki.

Other than that, the room's remarkably clean, and uh... There are names on the wall? Names and numbers. Yeah.]

[uncouthhatcher]

Don't touch nothing that ain't yours.

[But Gold's waving anyway, plopping onto the bed himself and stretching out, careful of the shards.]

Why didn't you just go to that mournin' thing they're holdin'? Felt like we're the better company?

[foundfate]

[Jesus Christ what have you two been doing in here

important question: is it the players' names on the wall?]

There's too many people there. Besides, you two are better for-

[He was about to sit on the bed, but then he saw the shards. So he stops and just. stares at them for a moment.]

...is that what I think it is?

[feistytrader]

[...He grabs one that's already "done"- it's very clearly a necklace, with the centerpiece being one of the shards wrapped around in string.]

I was feeling sentimental. I know it's a little weird.

[Because it's... part of her? Kind of? But there isn't much else for him to make sentimental stuff out of, really.]

[uncouthhatcher]

I'm just gonna make a drink in her honor later tonight, like I said I would.

[... And take a necklace, probably, but! More importantly!

On the wall is certainly a list of a number of Apprentice's names, though notably the ones that've died are crossed out; Chiyuki's remains normal, at the moment. Some fun ones!

Chiyuki - 10
Lusamine - 10
April 1st - 8
Vanille - 10]

[foundfate]

[He respects Silver too much to tell him just how fucking weird and creepy that is. Maybe he'll pull him aside later for that.

Instead, he's going to pointedly fixate on the names list.]

Why did you translate my name, but not Chiyuki's?

[uncouthhatcher]

Because your name is hilarious.

[feistytrader]

Your name's weird.

[foundfate]

[Gold just gets a look.]

I know it's weird! I've had to live with the jokes about it for 17 years. And it's my birthday too, which makes it even worse.

[feistytrader]

[...Wow.]

I'm glad my dad didn't name me Christmas Eve.

[uncouthhatcher]

[-- what]

That's when your birthday is?! What the hell, dude, I've got a backlog on presents to catch up on!

[foundfate]

[YOU TWO]

Watanuki is my family name, not my given name. My given name is Kimihiro.

['Prophet'.

Yeah have fun with that one.]

[feistytrader]

[...That is still kind of wow, but they're named after colors and don't have much room to talk. More importantly-]

That's a mouthful.

[Hey Gold, you're good at nicknames-]

[uncouthhatcher]

Kiki.

[foundfate]

If you call me that I'm going to punch you.

[feistytrader]

I wanna watch.

[...This is not the appropriate response here-]

[uncouthhatcher]

I wanna see what you've got on you anyway, Kiki, give me a good one.

[foundfate]

I told you!

[Yeah, here comes that punch.

Though tbh it's not much of a punch. He's not actually mad at Gold in a way that would make him punch anyone seriously, and he is a noodly boy with no muscles whatsoever. Weak, and no heart in that punch.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Yeah that's what he thought.]

You're such a wimp! [HE'S HOWLIN' WITH LAUGHTER] What the hell was that, Kiki?

[feistytrader]

...We need to teach him how to punch, too. Just like Sportacus.

[Sorry, Watanuki...]

[foundfate]

[What if he just grabbed Gold by the neck and started shaking him?

Comedically, of course. Because he's not literally trying to strangle Gold, as tempting as it is.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[-- HE'S BEING SHAKEN AND STRANGLED AND HE'S GOING TO BE SO DRAMATICALLY PLAYING ALONG, OH GOD HE'S DYING, SOMEONE SAAAVE HIM]
