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.]

Those weren't even half of my skills! I'm really flexible for one. I bet everyone would be super surprised at that.

[This stage better be big enough for Lynne to do tons of backflips. And the ghost stories come back.]

Oh yeah? You still have that great story up your sleeve?

[happysweets]

Flexible, huh? Well, you must be really fit, if you graduated from the police academy...but I'll make sure there's plenty of space for you to do all kinds of stunts!

Nothing but the best, though!

[wokeupdead]

I may look small but I've got a lot of power hidden away! [Lynne, you're like half a foot taller than Misa.] We could probably move some of the tables or something to make space. Although we might need a few people for that...

[Since they're made of steel and all.]

Nice! I don't know if I can come up with something by then. I got ghosts on the mind though so maybe.

[happysweets]

[ To be fair, Misa's a tiny twig. Blame idol culture. ]

I think if we all work together, we should be able to get something done! It'll be a great group effort! If you need some time to come up with a story, though, we can always make that next week. Miss Megumi wanted to have a teaching event too, so...

[wokeupdead]

[ . . . Okay, she has to talk about that first.]

Teaching event?

[happysweets]

Yes! Um, she wanted to have, like, a class or something in the library...I think it might be best to encourage her, though. How bad could it be, right?

[wokeupdead]

A class about what even?

[She is out of school, spare her-]

Although if it's something she really wants to do...

[happysweets]

Your guess is as good as mine. Misa-Misa's really bad in class, but...we can always play hangman in the back. Or Tic-Tac-Toe...

[wokeupdead]

...Okay. As long as she's okay with moral support and doesn't expect me to answer any questions.

[happysweets]

I'm positive that'll be more than enough! I should warn you, though. I'm really good at Tic-Tac-Toe! Misa-Misa's strategy is unbeatable! She just makes sure she gets three corners, and then you're tra--

O-oh no, I ruined it!

[wokeupdead]

[Misa, Misa, Misa. Lynne can't help but smile.]

You really don't have a poker face, do you?

[happysweets]

It's Misa-Misa's biggest failing as an actress...
