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.]

[Well, if she truly is okay with it...]

Alright. [He smiles and gives a small nod.] But don't hesitate to ask any of us for help or more company, alright? It's the least any of us can do in return for what you've done here.

The murder is one thing, but--putting our lives on the line still even after the Kingmaker told us what the consequences would be? I understand why he refused to admit it until we found out, but--

[Nobody's life is worth more than another's. Especially that of 26 other people.

Bruce stops himself before he can go on any further and lets out a loud sigh, a hand rubbing the side of his face. He's far more tired than he had been in a good while - which is something considering how exhausted he gets after his transformations. But this is something beyond that.]


But you're right, its the Kingmaker who needs our attention more. [What Kamui did he only did it because he wanted to leave, and being desperate to do that isn't wrong. What's wrong is the Kingmaker forcing them all to this position. To force them to make these choices.] I still don't know what happened down there.
amygdalae: there's a pain that goes on and on (sideways and under bridges.)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose 'zombie' is the best term most of have right now, but...

[Is it really a zombie? He supposes like in the case of Kamui how they are tends to be different between worlds, but still...]

All of us were too far away to take a good look. It could have been something else entirely, for all we know.

I wish I could understand that myself.

[Why bring them here when they're all going to die anyway?]
amygdalae: I just choose not to say them (I have a lot of words)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's alright. I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help.

[He was kind of too stunned in the moment to actually be able to respond.]
amygdalae: this is really not English (complicated explanation time)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, focus on yourself first. The rest of us can handle ourselves just the same.

Shirazu-san. My name is Kogoro Mouri.

[Pause. Well there was an introduction, now what. Small talk about the weather? 'hey, good thing we didn't die, eh?' Comment on the general downcast attitude everyone has?

Well may as well make an attempt to know better this guy with pointy teeth]


Ghoul investigator, eh? Sounds tough.

[...it is kind of obvious Mouri has no idea where to lead the conversation but there was an attempt]
cherryblooded: (smile / sigh)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't be a hassle. Besides, we should have more than one person around who can make good tea.

[Just in case something happens to the first.]
amygdalae: even I don't get it (explain this to me)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cherryblod no.]

I... yes, I guess that won't hurt.

Mettaton's not unbelievable after a week, unless you count his ego.
captainobnoxious: (36 that's sad)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-07 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Exactly. That's the more important part of it, Kamui's decision aside.]

I don't know either, but I don't like it. I'm gonna have a talk with him about it when I'm not ready to wring his neck, [and she sounds venomous enough to do it, staring moodily into the fire for a moment before blowing out.] ... When everyone's had a good night's sleep.

[And then at the meeting she'll hopefully have something to say about it, though Sigrun's not sure how much the Kingmaker will tell her anyway.]
captainobnoxious: (24 nah nah i'm joking)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-07 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stan and Sigrun have doomed everyone.]

You're definitely funnier than my uncle Trond. You must be just as old as him, but he's pretty much lost all sense of humor.

[He still knows how to pick The Best of The Best and she loves him dearly, but you know.]
cherryblooded: (smile / my my)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...Don't worry. I'm not planning on disappearing just yet. But I might catcha cold or something.
amygdalae: you're speaking as if I even have one (you're asking me to make a choice?)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
We all need a break after what happened. It's been a hard day for all of us.

[Hard for Bruce too, which is a hard thing to say since he has many hard days. But perhaps this is one of the hardest ones yet.]

You should take some time to rest, too.

Misa-Misa's starting to think she really hasn't done that much. ...Not yet, anyway. She's going to, though. In time.

[ Small steps, is all. ]

...Can you help me come up with more big words for the next crossword?
happysweets: (pic#10068760)

[personal profile] happysweets 2016-03-07 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It has, right?

[ Nothing can be easy around here. Even if she tried so hard... ]

What do you think we should do now? After this, people might keep to themselves more...
amygdalae: but that plane is really not Starscream (yes I just said that)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
One step at a time. You can manage it.

[Small steps, indeed.

And at the inquiry for help he manages a smile again.]


Of course; I'd be glad to do so.
amygdalae: I really don't want to go with the hard way (you sir are not making this easy)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow I don't think a simple cold is going to stop you if you wanted it to.
cherryblooded: (smile / dapper)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd hate to infect the rest of you. I'll be hygienic.

amygdalae: remember that you are human (Default)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure everyone else would appreciate that.
cherryblooded: (smile / happy)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-07 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. So I'll take you on as my student in the art of tea.
captainobnoxious: (44 easy does it)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-03-07 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I will. I'm just gonna make sure everyone else is fine before I do.

[As natural as can be, she stretches as if to start on that but remains sitting.]

... That means these guys, too. I'll stay until there's nothing else to burn and then I'll check on our worse cases, see if I can't pull their minds off what happened and help shoulder their thoughts. It's a lot of weight for someone to carry on their own.

Yes! After all, it was humans that inspired me to be as I am - a lot of what I do is based on human performers. And besides, you're all fascinating!

People who create the way humans do can't possibly be all bad. Or at least, that's what I think.
goodforsomething: (⛵ give you a buck for it)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-03-07 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That might not be a bad thing for a day or two. Let everyone cool off.
amygdalae: (in the zone)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-07 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[A small laugh. Well, at least he does feel slightly better now.]

It's been a long time since I was a student in anything. It'll be refreshing.
