bloodisthicker: because that would be the worst (did i break a nail)

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? OUR TALES RIVAL JUST TURNED INTO A ZOMBIE!

[...so, uh, that was a thing that happened. Tarrlok was completely ready to do the politician thing and come up with a speech or something for most of whatever the hell that excuse for a trial was, but everything got all confusing, baffling, and horrifying and completely inexplicably, he can't find the words.

Maybe he just... needs a day. Tomorrow will probably be fine. For now, though, Misa volunteered to make brownies, and he was going to make a Northern Water Tribe comfort food specialty.

...even if they only had shortening and not actual animal fat and it'd been a while since he'd made it, but it tasted... alright? Definitely not as good as the stuff back home, but it was hard to get that good, anyway.

...there's also the matter of setting things up in a location other than the dining hall, because even though that's cleaned up, it still feels pretty tasteless to hold a wake literal feet from the place you found someone's bloody corpse.

So, a little later on in the day, a lovingly personalized note will be slid under everyone's doors:



And if the Survivors choose to head to the library, they'll find a... well, okay, it's a bunch of boxes from the storage room of comparable size stacked up on each other to kind of resemble a table. The dining hall ones don't even seem like they'd fit in the library, so Team Afterparty clearly had to improvise. One side is filled with plates, bowls, and spoons, and the other is filled with brownies, cookies, and a big bowl of berry aqutak. There are also chairs dotted throughout the room in a sort of vague circle --- close enough together that if people want to talk, they can, but far enough apart that it'd be easy to drag it off for some privacy.]

Don't mention it, sweetheart. Anytime.

[And that's calmer than it usually is too, but it's not insincere, either.]

Music's good for people. Calms their soul down a little.
goodforsomething: (⛵ stan's life continues to be pain)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-06 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't sweat it, kid. It's been a hell of a day.

[He moves up a box and carefully lowers himself down to sit as well.]
captainobnoxious: (23 you're joking right)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-06 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Half the reason she's doing it in the hallway, yup. Sigrun gestures to the fire, go on.]

If you've got any words at all, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
notjustawriter: (♟ the first thing i met)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have much experience with 'em, so I don't know how could could make a zombie, or anything like that, but...

I don't know what else that was, what we all saw.
devastation: (a sea of troubles)

[personal profile] devastation 2016-03-06 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... I'm not sure what to think of it either. It was... disturbing, seeing our friend like that...

[it's honestly no wonder that Megu-nee fainted after seeing that... thing decapitate Kamui...]
devastation: (not on that setting it won't)

[personal profile] devastation 2016-03-06 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Megumi looks up from what she's doing, and upon seeing that it's Speedwagon, she offers a small attempt at a reassuring smile.]

I'm... feeling a little better now, thank you.

[or rather, she's conscious now at least]

...And you? How are you feeling?
prismbloom: (to our surprise)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-06 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm still confused about the coins, but I've at least managed to regain one of the items I'd lost.

[ But, really, how do they show up?! ]
notjustawriter: (♙ always getting the grease)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-06 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder what the point of all this is. What he gains from it.
notjustawriter: (♟ after three days in the desert fun)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-06 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He has no idea what that is.]

Sure.

Gertie always brewed me an assortment of teas back at the castle.
lackinginfaith: Caren arriving out of nowhere again. (look it up on wikipedia)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-03-06 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
A successor, I think. He's called the Kingmaker, isn't he?
cherryblooded: (smile / that's right)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Just a moment.

[The tea kettle is in the kitchen, keeping everything warm. He returns with a nice hot cup of tea.]

Didn't know you lived in a castle.
notjustawriter: (♞ problematic ill)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-06 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure.

They were undead all right; corpses that moved around on their own, but they were guardin' the place, not... trying to eat people or anything like that.
cherryblooded: (calm / talking)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Some zombies can be commanded to do certain tasks, if the person animating them is powerful enough.
notjustawriter: (♞ in the old boneyard)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-06 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We're like experiments to 'im.

[He shakes his head, running a hand through his hair.]

Why claim you're savin' people, only to make them fight to the death?
prismbloom: (sacred moon)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-06 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I didn't realize how much it could.

[ It's like a different sort of magic. ]

Other than the songs I've heard, do you have any favorites?
goodforsomething: (⛵ give you a buck for it)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-06 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No kiddin'? I ain't seen any booze around here at all. Seems like one of the first things you oughta pack in your doomsday bunker.
goingdigital: (Eyes on the prize)

[personal profile] goingdigital 2016-03-06 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think any one does. Which I hope some people realize that you saved us all.

[Which may be a bigger issue now...]

We need to find a way to find and stop this Kingmaker.
prismbloom: (ominous blight)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-06 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't think saving everyone would feel so terrible.

[ She takes in a deep breath and nods. ]

It's the least we can do, for those who have lost their lives.
captainobnoxious: (04 what've we got here)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-06 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, lucky you! I did too, but I haven't been able to show it off just yet.

[... Actually she might do it at the talent show Misa wants to see about doing. It's a pretty monumental object. Really ancient. Expensive. Amazing.]

What'd you get? Your oddly shaped weapon?
prismbloom: (unbreakable chains)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-06 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be glad to see it.

[ She shakes her head, and she pulls out her Wayfinder. ]

This. I made them for Terra, Ventus, and myself before our exam. It's a good luck charm, to put it simply, but I like to think of it as a symbol of our friendship.
devastation: (if you love something set it free)

[personal profile] devastation 2016-03-06 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so... thank you for the tea, Bruce-san.

[which, she'll take quite gratefully--she could certainly use some to help her nerves here.]

And... ah, I'm sorry if I caused any distress earlier. [what with the fainting and all.]
captainobnoxious: (54 maybe it's a cultural difference)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-06 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, considering how useful it is even outside of the obvious. And it's not like anyone here's too young to drink it!

[says the norwegian from a post-pandemic world]

I really, really hope that wasn't the only drink in there.
penduli: (03 i just can't understand)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-03-06 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Black wrinkles his nose. He'll take the tea, at least, and sip it before he replies. ]

Why don't we split it? [ Yosuke has knives, he could just cut it for them-- ] ...I'll probably be able to manage something more later, but I'm not really up for eating right now.
goingdigital: (Gearing up)

[personal profile] goingdigital 2016-03-06 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[This entire situation is a terrible way to meet someone...]

Mmm, but at the same time I doubt any of us will forget each other.
notjustawriter: (♟ and the ground was dry)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-06 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...Maybe they were just regular ol' zombies, in that case.
