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.]

He isn't the sort to enjoy answerin' questions, no.
isafraid: (Too hot (hot damn))

[uuuuggggh]

Seems like he's rather set on letting us know there's nothing left of them. Like we'd want to know that!

Or believe it. It doesn't make sense to.
cherryblooded: (calm / not as fine)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'll ask later. Even just the confirmation that Zagi is dead would be something.
isafraid: (This is bad)

[personal profile] isafraid 2016-03-07 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Won't even show us where we are. There's not a single window in this damnable place. We can't even be sure where we are in the first place.
lackinginfaith: Caren arriving out of nowhere again. (look it up on wikipedia)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-03-07 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Would we even recognize it? He could be right that it's none of our worlds.

I can't say for sure what she is thinking, but...

[Let's see...]

Aqua-san is a lot like my daughter, and I know that if my daughter had done the same thing - suggesting something that would lead to another person's death - she would be blaming herself for not having done anything to save that person. It is worse when it is due to her we all were able to vote for Kamui-san, which led to his death.

She knows there was no other option but she can't avoid feeling that. Compassion is like that.

[He looks at her, then gestures with a hand to the seat beside him.]

If you'd like.

[He wont stop her, it's a free country. Probably.]

Hey, it was bound to happen sooner or later. People lose their minds when they're locked in tiny spaces like this. I was kinda hopin' we'd hold out longer than a week, but...

[He shrugs.]
notjustawriter: (♟ made me sad to think it was dead)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-07 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
That's the way to look at it.

We'll all get out of here, before more people.... before more people get hurt.
cherryblooded: (smile / gradient)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. Keep your chin up.

[He does his best to be reassuring. Is it working?]
notjustawriter: (♙ make it rain)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-07 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
It'd be a start, if nothin' else.
ratingspoint: (RELENT ♥ maybe you have half a point)

[And he just...kind of goes quiet, but it's fairly obvious that he's mulling that over - turning it over in his head a bit, trying to find a configuration of thoughts that he likes and can process with regards to that, and it's fairly obvious that he doesn't really like what he's coming up with.

He's not angry, and it's hard to tell if he's really even that upset; he's just...kind of bothered, maybe.]


...Well. I guess humans might understand this sort of thing better than I would, right? I-I mean, it's not really within my programming to get things like that.
isafraid: (Oh no! Friday!)

[personal profile] isafraid 2016-03-07 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Who's to say? From how neatly the bastard nabbed all of us, he could just as quickly tell us we're all on the bloody moon at this point and we'd have to believe him.
cherryblooded: (calm / not as fine)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Will keep you posted.
notjustawriter: (♙ you can play the game)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-07 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe meetings are somethin' that should happen every week.

It's a good way to share what we all know.
notjustawriter: (♙ i think it's true what they)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-07 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[More or less, yes.]

You too, okay? We've gotta keep it together.
goodforsomething: (⛵ let's think about this)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-07 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? I ain't sure I know anybody who doesn't drink coffee.

[Stan leans over to peer at the...berry stuff.] What's that stuff?
notjustawriter: (♟ the heat was hot)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-07 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'll see if I can learn anything else about this place.

I can't imagine he'll talk more, but maybe I'll get somethin' outta him this time.
goodforsomething: (⛵ yeah whatever)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-07 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
It better not be. I could use a stiff drink to get through all this. Drinkin' laws don't matter in a place like this anyway.
cherryblooded: (calm / talking)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck. Can't hurt to try one more time.
cherryblooded: (smile / my my)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be alright. But thank you for the concern.
notjustawriter: (♟ my skin began to turn red)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-07 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you too. We're gonna need all the luck we can get.

I just hope we get some actual answers before something else happens.
notjustawriter: (♞ overkill overkill)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-07 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
...Well get out of here, so you can go back to your wife.

He's lyin' about our worlds bein' destroyed. I know he is.
