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.]

Neither am I. The only time I've ever had something is maybe a sip or two at a family event.

[happysweets]

Well, go right ahead and take a bit, then!

[ She says as she offers her the flask... ]

That's like Misa-Misa with wine, though. But I haven't had a family event or anything like that in a long while...

[clubleader]

[ She takes a sip and... yeah, it tastes bad. ]

Really? We have a lot, but we also have meetings and things like that too.

[happysweets]

What are they like? Your family, I mean.

[clubleader]

Ah, well... [ It's complicated. ]

I live with my grandma mostly since I'm the next head of the family. But it's a pretty big family overall.

[happysweets]

The next head...that sounds like it must be a lot of pressure!

[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...

[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?

[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...

[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!

[clubleader]

Hehe, that sounds like a great show! When we get outta here I'll make sure to watch it.
