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? Really?

How did you convince him to send you this?

[Mouri is genuinely curious. This has so much potential!]

[goodforsomething]

Promised to quit sendin' him creepy love letters if he did.

[Shirazu may have started a bit of a Thing for a while]

[sleepingkogoro]

Wait, I think I didn't hear correctly!

[Mouri chuckles. Whaaaat, Stan?]

Did you say 'love letters'? Did I miss something big or was it just your way to not to get bored?

[goodforsomething]

[He laughs.]

It was a dare durin' that party! Just the first one, but it seemed to irritate him, so - [Stan shrugs.] - what the hell.

[sleepingkogoro]

No way. No way! This is something I have to see by myself.

[Maybe it is an effect of the booze and he is already pretty inebriated, but Mouri finds that immensely funny]

Got one saved? I want to read that!

[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.]

[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!

[goodforsomething]

I know, right?

'Course, I wanna see his face for a lot of other reasons. [Violence reasons.] But we might as well have some fun with him in the meantime!
