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.]

No no, please, you don't have to apologize...

[It's pretty understandable really, given what happened... speaking of which--]

Did, um... did I miss anything while I was out? [Like anything from the Kingmaker, or anything of note happening earlier at this meeting...]
devastation: (sexting at the dinner table)

[personal profile] devastation 2016-03-08 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
... Except the Kingmaker, perhaps. He was prepared for something like this to happen.

[It comes out sounding rather sad and maybe just a little bitter, but it's true: that whole set-up with the trial and everything had to have been prepared well in advance...]

...Yes, let us hope it's the former in this case, as strange as even that seems.

It really is something though, learning about all of these supernatural creatures from your worlds. In the last twenty-four hours I have been educated on three.

[He's still amazed that werewolves actually came up in the trial. Misa wasn't alone in her thought process, it seems!]
pokexplorer: (❖ jokingly)

[personal profile] pokexplorer 2016-03-08 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[At least he has a little bit of tact.]

When you put it into perspective, that is true. Meanwhile, I was imagining all the things you could do in that length of time!

So there are humans in your world, Cherryblod?

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-08 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
No, nothing really happened. All of us have just been here trying to handle the situation in our own way.

[AKA they were all traumatized and moping. Mostly.]

Akutaq.

It's pretty good.

Y'know, I'm not much of a cook, but I could probably cook up some good New Orleans food for y'all. Bit of a thank-you, and a sharin' of cultures.
notjustawriter: (♟ and the ground was dry)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-08 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if there's a way to get into that pit.

...Without. Y'know. Having killed someone.
notjustawriter: (♟ 'cause there ain't no one)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-08 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

It's sick. What kind of a person would set up somethin' like this?

I'm still gonna try to get something from the Kingmaker, but he doesn't like people fishin' for information.

[Stan laughs.]

I'm not dead yet! Might as well make the most of it...by harassing our kidnapper!
notjustawriter: (♙ always getting the grease)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-08 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
You're tellin' me.

I'd rather we don't have another incident like this again, but that doesn't seem likely. Now that it's started....

...Maybe I'm just cynical.

[ She smiles at Aqua, taking the plate. ]

Thanks. I'm fine for now. [ Honestly, she's not so sure she can even eat what she has in front of her. ]

How are you holding up?
clubleader: (26)

[personal profile] clubleader 2016-03-08 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ She just shakes her head. ]

I wish I knew. Why are we doing this?
clubleader: (09)

[personal profile] clubleader 2016-03-08 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks up at him, smiling. ]

I'm fine for now. What about you? Have you tried this yet? [ She gestures to the aqutak. ]

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-08 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
A ritual would be a little less of an immediate problem.

But the problem with it being a ritual is those sorts of things are old magic; y'can't just do them without a lot of preparation.

[He doesn't want to even think about a zombie virus in an enclosed space.]

I didn't think vampires were possible until a day ago, either. That was a new one for me.

...What about you? Are you handling it okay?

[megu-nee, you're the one who fainted, what are you doing worrying about other people instead...]

Aside from that we're trapped and have no choice?

[He's good for distractions, and he'll happily answer questions until Shirazu feels a little better.]

It's just my wife and my daughter and I. Doloz is a sweetheart - always fretting over everybody's health. The kind of person who makes care packages for every new neighbor and will send them meals if she hears they've even caught a cold.

[You are now picturing a giant lobster cooking.]

Lobco's a bright girl, dedicated to her work and always looking to do her best by everyone. A bit too modest and shy, maybe.
cherryblooded: (smile / that's fine)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-08 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
There are. Haven't met any for a while, but there are a lot of them on land.

[Bruce is his favorite student.]

Want to start tomorrow?
cherryblooded: (smile / that's fine)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-08 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not exactly, but you might be able to put your own spin on the recipe.
cherryblooded: (calm / wait what)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-08 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully I'll be able to look back on this experience and smile, too.

Of course! They have me, don't they?

amygdalae: Loki plans to go to New York (just so you know)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-08 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
There probably is, but I highly doubt the Kingmaker wants us to find that out.
amygdalae: remember that you are human (Default)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-08 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody in their right mind, that much I can guess.

[This is all so utterly cruel.]

And yes--but if he tries to start anything, don't hesitate to back down. We all want information but its not worth risking our lives for it. [Especially since how they're probably at constant risk...]

I think so, too! I'd love to get your help again, but, for a little bit better of an occasion. Maybe a birthday party or something...

Come to think of it, it'd be nice to know what day it was.
