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.]
amygdalae: even I don't get it (explain this to me)

You and me both.

[Bruce certainly will keep an eye out himself as well - especially with all the books in the library. He's not going to wave them off as useless just yet.]

At least we have a better understanding of what the Kingmaker is playing at now. That will help.

Are they common in your area? Who'd want to live in a bog?

I agree that they're good for morale, but maybe they have other skills too? Ones we haven't seen.
lackinginfaith: Caren looks determined. (i'm in my bed aww yeaaaah)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-03-13 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's possible. You can't know someone after a week.
lackinginfaith: Caren looking over her shoulder. (adventure!)

[personal profile] lackinginfaith 2016-03-13 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. Though it's always good to know what mistakes not to make.
notjustawriter: (♟ there was sand and hills and rings)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Patrollin' at night...

That is a good idea. There's not too much ground to cover right now, so maybe it's possible to stop people in the act.

Dunno if we have anywhere that can work as a "prison", though.
notjustawriter: (♙ you can play the game)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-13 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

What a terrible game he's playing.... Wantin' to hurt people... I'll never understand it.
notjustawriter: (♙ they say the rain must fall)

[personal profile] notjustawriter 2016-03-13 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, maybe I'll try cookin' one of these days.

Help get our minds off of things.
prismbloom: (give.)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-13 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Even more worrisome... he may add more at a later time.
prismbloom: (abaddon plasma)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-13 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I think we all have--but remember that you're not alone, Mion. We're here for you.

I hope so, too. Going through something like that once is more than enough.
prismbloom: (mystic moon)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-13 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods, pouring him a cup. Her mind's still swirling a bit, honestly. She looks back at Bruce. ]

Sugar?
prismbloom: (once upon a time)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-13 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Even so, I would have traded anything for it.
isafraid: (Needs more worried emotes)

[personal profile] isafraid 2016-03-13 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, he does seem to have the advantage there. Like say, if we wanted to do some crazy stunt to try and get out of here, he could just make a rule against it.

[His shoulders slump. He's just. tired.]

We're stuck right quick.
prismbloom: (monochrome)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-13 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
We're at his mercy. But Speedwagon... we will find a way out. I'm sure of it.
isafraid: (How'd this even work)

[personal profile] isafraid 2016-03-13 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
...Heh. Strange, I've only been here for so long, and I'm sure I can believe you, Miss Aqua.
prismbloom: (once upon a time)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-03-13 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ She smiles and nods. ]

Then I--we--will have to work even harder. I don't want to disappoint anyone.

And, please, just Aqua.
isafraid: (Pleased to meet ya)

[personal profile] isafraid 2016-03-13 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He blanks. Wait, oh! Whoops.]

Apologies again then. Just sort of comes as a second nature for me.

[He nods.] I'd hardly want to myself, not that I'm all that certain about what I can really contribute. But I'll try and lend a hand.
isafraid: (I am a man of wealth and taste)

[personal profile] isafraid 2016-03-13 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll be sure to give it a try then. [Later. Probably.]

And, since you asked, I'm as fine as someone could be in a situation they've never been in before.

[Not bad.]
amygdalae: there's a pain that goes on and on (sideways and under bridges.)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-13 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say I know what his intentions are either.

[Bruce won't say he can't understand the reasons behind wanting to hurt people, but in this case he can't see the logic behind this at all. Why does the Kingmaker truly get out of this?]
amygdalae: (look what we've got here)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-13 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm fine.

[Honestly Aqua you're the one who needs it first, not him. But if it helps her, he certainly won't stop her.]
cherryblooded: (smile / happy)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-13 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Probably better. And I'll be happy to taste-test whatever it is you make.
