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.]

[Thank goodness Speedwagon managed to step in - Bruce was too much in shock himself to really be able to do anything.

...which is why he's trying his best to make it up now. With tea on hand he brings it over to her, setting it down on a space where she can reach for it safely and without people accidentally kicking it over.]


Are you feeling better, Miss Sakura?
devastation: (if you love something set it free)

[personal profile] devastation 2016-03-06 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so... thank you for the tea, Bruce-san.

[which, she'll take quite gratefully--she could certainly use some to help her nerves here.]

And... ah, I'm sorry if I caused any distress earlier. [what with the fainting and all.]
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.]
devastation: (yeah it's about that time I guess)

[personal profile] devastation 2016-03-08 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
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...]
amygdalae: this is really not English (complicated explanation time)

[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.]
devastation: (a nuanced critique)

[personal profile] devastation 2016-03-08 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
...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...]
amygdalae: that's a nice way to put it (my other self?)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-03-08 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is trying. Just as they are all trying, really...]

I'm alright. [He gives her a smile, here, although it probably doesn't look as reassuring as it possibly can be.] Don't worry about me - focus on getting better, first.
