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.]

Glad to hear it.

[Well, if Cherryblod thinks something's wrong with him, he certainly isn't saying so.]

That means I have to fuss over your wellbeing a little less. ...Just a little, mind.

I've seen more than enough people die to be used to it by now. Like you said - repeated exposure, right?

[Just. Vague handwaving.]

It'll work out, and I'm sure everyone else will be fine in a few days.
cherryblooded: (calm / wait what)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-05 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right, of course.

[...well, maybe not of course.]

Do you have any plans for the evening?
ratingspoint: (ASIDE ♥ okay but enough about you)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-03-06 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Not particularly! I think it's likely best to leave everyone to themselves, at least for the night; I'll probably just keep an eye on things in the hallway once everyone has settled down.

Why do you ask?
cherryblooded: (calm / wait what)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Would it be much of a trouble if I joined you?

[Cherryblod is a social person, and easily prone to homesickness. He agrees that most people will need time to themselves, but all the same - someone he liked did just die, and he doesn't feel like spending the evening in his room alone, passing time trying to come up with useful things to do with pens that write one sentence.

He's not traumatized, but he does get lonely.]

Oh - not at all, sweetheart, I'd like that.

[And from the sound of it he does mean it.]

Really, we can do whatever you'd like; it's not like I'm doing anything all that important.
cherryblooded: (smile / peaceful)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[He gives a real, earnest smile.]

Your company's enough for me - I don't mind whatever it is we decide to do.

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-03-06 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
All right, then.

[...]

You don't have to worry about troubling me, you know, if you ever just want company like that. My door is always open and all. Figuratively, anyway!
cherryblooded: (smile / my my)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'll have to take you up on that more often. You might get tired of seeing me.

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-03-06 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Please. As if I could?
cherryblooded: (smile / amused)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
You say that now. There's still a chance for you to escape.
ratingspoint: (ARROGANCE ♥ that's what she said)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-03-06 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
As if I'd want to, then.
cherryblooded: (smile / kind of smug actually)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I've been told I'm extremely embarrassing.
ratingspoint: (ASIDE ♥ okay but enough about you)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-03-06 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry about other people's taste, then!

[You're only lucky he doesn't have your baby pictures to show to all your friends.]

There really is no swaying you, is there? I'm flattered by your faith in me.

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-03-06 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
What can I say? I know what I like.
cherryblooded: (smile / pleasant)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-06 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
One of your many fine traits.

[It's just flattery corner here today.]
