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.]

Well, let me know if you end up getting one out of it... or if you find someone who has gotten one. I don't know if we'll even be able to get anything out of it, but it's worth a try.

[notjustawriter]

You never know!

I wonder what was different about the request versus what other people have been askin' him.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[goodforsomething]

Oh, I know what was different. Trust me - he wasn't real happy about all the late-night love letters!

[Stan may have sexually harassed the Kingmaker into giving him alcohol.]

[ratingspoint]

Not all of us are the sort to run ourselves ragged looking after everyone else.

[I mean, while we're all being blunt about it.]

[goodforsomething]

Sure, sure! This thingy saves texts, right?

[Stan futzes around on the screen for a few seconds. But yeah, he probably doesn't actually know how to delete texts anyway.]

Ah, here we go! [This sure is a thing that happened.]

[goodforsomething]

Well, it kinda seems like we might have a zombie problem. Or just a shape-shiftin' one. Last time I heard of zombies, they were a little more shamblin'...and drippy.

[He shudders vaguely. Gross things, zombies. Nasty to clean up after.]

[clubleader]

It's nothing I can't handle! It's pretty easy actually.

[ No it isn't but what's being honest with your emotions? ]

[happysweets]

Is it? You must be really dedicated, then...especially if your family is big. And Misa-Misa thought the life of an idol was hard...

[sleepingkogoro]

[This is too much. Stan, you beautiful bastard, this is way too awesome. Mouri is actually laughing a lot at that]

I wish I could have seen the Kingmaker's face when he received this letter! And you say you sent him several?

This is the best thing I have seen since we got into this shelter!

[bloodisthicker]

He... really wasn't, no.

[...HE REALLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK TO FEEL ABOUT ZAGI...]

I think we'd need to see more to be able to tell, but... given literally everything involved, I don't want to see more.

[clubleader]

I guess I'm dedicated... It's more of just the way things are, though. Besides, I'm sure being an idol is tough. You're probably busy all the time, right?

[goingdigital]

Good to know! And exactly how much of it did you throw up?

[He's going to pour himself another glass. Because seriously fuck this place.]

[goodforsomething]

Wonder if he'd send 'em down if we started gettin' rowdy. He doesn't seem like the kinda guy to come himself.

[Stan was one of the ones who wanted to start some fires on the very first day. But having seen those things...] ...probably oughta avoid really pissin' him off though.

[notjustawriter]

Late-night love letters?

Naw, you didn't!

[You're good people, Stan.]

[goodforsomething]

All of it!

[Stan laughs.] Yeah, I was sick as a dog. A friend of mine told me not to do it, but I figured we were old enough. Wasn't funny then!

[notjustawriter]

There are other ways people can get into trouble around here, by the looks of things.

Can't speak for Cherryblod, though.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, well, good. What is a familiar, then?

[happysweets]

I am, but it's fine! I think it's fun most of the time. There are lots of fans to talk to, so it's easy to stay positive! And filming my show is pretty nice, too, being in front of the camera and everything...

[cherryblooded]

A familiar is a person contracted to a witch or a sorcerer. They're basically subordinates, and in exchange for their service their witch can lend them a great deal of power, as well as provide them with other benefits.

[clubleader]

What kind of show do you have?

[happysweets]

Well, Misa-Misa's been in lots of different dramas, but she does have her own show, too! It's called "Misa-Misa's Happy Sweets!"

Every week, Misa-Misa makes a new delicious dessert to make her enemies become nice and fat! ...Just kidding!

[captainobnoxious]

[A fussy dad.......]

I guess they really are just people with big houses.

[Cherry's good people. If royalty's like that, then it's a damn shame that they all died during the rash.]

[capyper]

Yep. There's gods for tons of different stuff. 'Cause gods are born of human wishes, and there's all different sorts of stuff that humans wish for, right?

[ratingspoint]

Worried about something in particular, sweetheart?

[There's nothing pointed behind it, at least; just a question.]

[happysweets]

Oh, that sounds really cute! They let even kids be movie stars, too...that seems way too cute! I'd love to see some movies with Pokemon in them, they all sound so unique!
