that's not what we usually mean by 'dance with death'

[cherryblooded]

[That certainly did happen. Cherryblod's not the type of person who will judge one person's value as being more than another's, so he can't say whether it was better or worse than the first week. It came as less of a shock, maybe, but even so...

It's not the kind of thing people usually want to go through alone.

So, after he spends some time in the kitchen preparing (with assistance from Bruce), he'll slip some personalized notes under everyone's doors.]

[Name],
If you'd prefer to spend this time alone, that's fine.
If you'd prefer not to, I've made some food and set it out in the dining hall.
Even if you're just hungry and would rather not talk, feel free to come take some.
But if you'd like the company, we're here for you.
-Cherryblod

[Those arriving in the dining hall will find an assortment of food - a fair number of sandwiches and other, actual meal-like options since most people missed a meal or two, but also a goodly number of desserts. There's tea, as well as coffee for those who favor it.]

What are they like? Your family, I mean.

[notjustawriter]

Really now? I'm surprised he gave you anything at all.

Well, that's a start, innit?

[notjustawriter]

A picture....

I wonder if there are any cameras in the vending machine. It'd be grisly, true, but...

It's as good an idea as any, at this point.

[notjustawriter]

Ah... I'm holdin' up, I suppose.

Cherryblod brews some good tea; it's helpin' keep the mood up.

[captainobnoxious]

[She won't!! ... Probably.]

Yeesh. I'll be real, royalty's an oldworlder thing, we don't have anything like that anymore. They're just super rich to me.

[Super rich with many valuables they're not using anymore.]

How's royalty act? Like the bird or like Caren?

[captainobnoxious]

Good.

[Pat pat.]

Are you going to cry about this?

[bloodisthicker]

My thoughts exactly. But... is it the same entity every time, or are there different ones mimicking different people?

...I guess there's only one way to find out, but...

[...ehhhhhhhhhn nah don't feel like dying.]

[goodforsomething]

Ha! Does anybody like the government?

[Literally not an answer]

[goodforsomething]

Doubt I'll get any more, but we'll see!

[goodforsomething]

That kid wasn't right.

[in vino veritas and all that

Though Stan probably would have said it anyway.]

They could've been. I didn't know 'em too well, but Pearl didn't seem...she seemed like she might do what it did. Not the grinnin'.

[goodforsomething]

That's all there is to it!

Heh, I remember my first time drinkin'. Got into my old man's liquor cabinet when I was younger than you.

[bloodisthicker]

...

Are you tired of getting asked about familiars? Because if you don't want to be asked about a concept that's really common to your world that no one else seems to be familiar with, I completely understand.

[cherryblooded]

No, not at all. Ask away.

[Not too many people have asked all that many questions about that part, actually.]

[clubleader]

Ah, well... [ It's complicated. ]

I live with my grandma mostly since I'm the next head of the family. But it's a pretty big family overall.

[ratingspoint]

...More like Cherryblod, actually. At least, that's what King Asgore is like.

[Asgore is everybody's dad.]

[uro_cyon]

Good for you. [ And he means it too.] Never been, but Japan seems ridiculously strict compared to the US.

[ratingspoint]

[Well, that seems to relax him a bit, anyway.]

He's wonderful, isn't he? He ought to be more careful, but he's really great.

[uro_cyon]

A lot of people don't, but few would go around shouting it like that.

[happysweets]

The standards are a bit different, but, I wouldn't know. I've never been to America! I feel like it's been getting better as the years go by, though.

[ratingspoint]

[...look it fits you in spirit okay]

Well, of course, sweetheart - I've always been the sort to know what I want for myself.

It's things like that that set us apart, right?

[happysweets]

The next head...that sounds like it must be a lot of pressure!

[sleepingkogoro]

[Bishawho?]

Eight million?! How can there be so many gods?!

[Ludicrous. Mouri really is hoping his world doesn't have that many gods]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri lifts the sledgehammer with ease despite his aching arms. Yep, he is pretty strong and Tarrlok may notice that]

I have heard it takes a long time for the incinerator to be ready. Everything in this damn place is made to be a problem for everyone.

I really can't wait to have the Kingmaker right in front of me.

[No killing, yes to, eh, showing the Kingmaker a firsthand viewing of how good Kogoro Mouri is at judo]

[pokexplorer]

...I thought she was too. It is such a truly unfortunate situation all-around.

[Of course it's more than that, but...well, they're trying not to think about it right now. So he'll just nod at Misa's suggestion.]

Of course! Though I must give a disclaimer that I am not much of a moviegoer myself, so this will be a more technical explanation.

[Obviously he's usually too busy being a NERD to enjoy movies.]

PokeStar Studios is located on an enormous complex in southwestern Unova. Trainers of all kinds go there to try their hand at acting in Pokemon-themed movies. Of course, some trainers make a career out of acting, but even the most novice of trainers are allowed to make a single movie. There is a wide variety of genres, and actors select rental Pokemon trained specifically for acting to use during filming.

Once filming is over, editing begins, and soon enough the trainers will be able to see their hard work on the big screen! Not all succeed, but there have been plenty of big hits from what I've heard.

[Mettaton...]

I suppose all of us could be a bit more careful, huh?
