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.]

[It doesn't take him long; the sort of mental process it requires is along the lines of the intent to engage in some sort of fight, which is a little odd to conjure up out of nowhere, but at the same time it's not like he's unfamiliar with doing it for no real reason - he fights often on television against people he has nothing against, after all.]

It's yellow, darling - really, it's= pretty.

[And it clashes less with your everything than Cherryblod's did, thank anybody who happens to be listening up there.]

Yellow.

[Isn't that something.]

Thanks for telling me.
