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.]

[capyper]

Depends on the god! And what kind of help that you need. Luckily, you have a jack of all trades right before you, who listens to any kinds of wishes.

... I mean, I'm not really at top usefulness given I don't have my divine weapon, but when we get outta here, I'll grant as many wishes as you like!

[captainobnoxious]

You are the person I think of first when it comes to giving gifts, but there's nothing special about it. I'm just unloading anything I don't need on you.

[There is no time for romance.]

[ratingspoint]

[No, he agrees entirely on the romance front, which is why he's not taking it that way in the least.]

That doesn't make it any less adorable, sweetheart. It was a valiant attempt! But still cute.

[prismbloom]

[ She nods. ]

I don't know if many of us have.

[prismbloom]

You did manage to convince him to post a profile. I'm still impressed.

But a shapeshifter...

[ ... ]

It may be another from this world, if so. We can't be sure--but whatever the answer is, it's unpleasant to think about. And it serves only to rattle us more.

Mouri's face lights up like a high school girl who got asked as a date for the prom]

[sleepingkogoro]

[AHEM]

I will remember that! I'll give you all the offerings you need, and don't be afraid, I don't really have a wish to ask for!

[Well he does want good luck, but to be honest he wants to keep the offer alive for as long as possible. He thinks that if he blurts it right now Yato will revoke the offer, so keeping it silent for the moment!]

Maybe when we're out I'll have thought of something.

[uro_cyon]

Aren't you lucky. [ Totally giving him a nod before taking a nice long sip.]

We haven't talked before, have we? Aiden Pearce, though you probably knew that already. [ Still he feels the need to introduce himself given that he's sharing booze.]

[captainobnoxious]

[He wouldn't anyway let's be real.]

I haven't been called cute or adorable since I was a kid, Mettaton. It's weird. Just say thanks and get over it.

[uro_cyon]

Even though it's legal for you? [ Now he's thinking she's some type of Disney star.

He shrugs and pours one out for himself. Might as well go through the motions even if it wouldn't amount to anything.]

[ratingspoint]

My apologies for everyone's taste, then.

[Chill, Sigrun, he does this to everyone.]

[captainobnoxious]

[It doesn't feel like anything one should be impressed by, really, but Sigrun loves compliments so she'll take it.]

So let's not think about it until it happens again. There's no point in worrying about things we can't understand but... I'll try asking him about it anyway, if you'd like.

[capyper]

Yeah... I understand what you mean. We have to keep going, for their sake too.

[ Otherwise, it feels like they're gone for no reason... but anyway, Yato's reminded of something. ]

Earlier this week, I saw Caren making some aprons for all the people baking! Did you use one of them...?

[capyper]

Alright, sounds good to me! And make sure to spread the word about the delivery god Yato to everybody you know when we get out, too.

[ H-he can still dream of becoming a famous god someday... right... ]

[ratingspoint]

...Well, last time we lived alongside them it didn't go very well, sweetheart. But who knows, maybe that can change someday.

[captainobnoxious]

You're so weird. Is this part of your entertainer thing or were you built this way?

[ratingspoint]

Does it matter? Whatever it is, it leaves an impression, and that's what's important.

[goodforsomething]

[y

we're in the murder apocalypse, literally who cares]

Just don't start barfin' everywhere. I'm not cleanin' up after you! [He pours a glass and hands it over, having apparently executed his idea of Responsible Adult Duties]

[isafraid]

[It's a day... night, for wandering around and not really knowing what to do with yourself.

Speedwagon notices Sigrun and briefly considers leaving her alone for the moment. But that wouldn't do, they were stuck together anyway.]

Captain? [He approached with a light tip of the hat.] I hope you're holding up better then some of us.

[ratingspoint]

And how are you holding up tonight, sweetheart?

[Better than last time, it seems, but that's not really something you just throw out there.]

[prismbloom]

I did. I didn't want them to go unused--and they're made well.

[captainobnoxious]

If it's built into you, we can take it out.

[... It's a joke, but honestly she's gonna turn the dial on his chest anyway.]

Is it this?

[bloodisthicker]

...oh, really?

[...he just kind of mutters that when he sees it, because he doesn't really know where to direct it if he wants to yell at the Kingmaker...]

I see our host's ugly sense of humor has reared its head again. Do you think it'll burn enough to be unusable in the incinerator...?

[penduli]

[ YYYYOOUU ]

I was thinking about it, especially since... we might not have anything left after some of them to burn or anything like that, like with Miss Pearl. [ So... ] ...if I'm going to end up remaking Zagi's, you can just keep that one.

[prismbloom]

If it's not too much trouble, I'd appreciate that. Though... you speak to him often, don't you?

[ It's more curious than anything. ]
