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.]

Let's get rid of it right now, then. We'll go together so we have some accountability to it, of course.

[Kogoro doesn't strike him as hideously untrustworthy or anything, but this place... uh... yeah. It's almost like it's a game about trust or something.]

[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]

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, well, of course. It just wouldn't be any fun otherwise, now, would it.

I'm sure that we'll need to form some sort of orderly queue to deal with that when we meet him face to face.
