romance and murder go so well together

[capyper]

[ If the colorful posters from Tuesday weren't enough, Yato has redoubled his efforts for today and slapped these up all over the place:



We are admittedly not entirely sure what the heck the catgirl is there for, but she's there. Anyway, in the dining hall this evening, Aqua and Yato have set things up for a group dinner!! All the food is being put on one table; the rest of the room is for mingling and is colorfully decorated in a way that suggests that Yato went wild in the art room at some point and decided what we all really need in our lives is more color and more glitter!!

There's also this piece of paper with everybody's names on it in pairs, and sets of questions (red tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet). That's right, your mystery game is speed-dating and Yato is here to be your cupid for the evening!! ]

You're just being modest, I'm certain...but Misa-Misa thinks she'll try and ask. You did make some pretty good sandwiches for us last time, though, so...

[ Like, he may be a murderer, but, let's give credit where credit is due, the guy can make a mean PB&J. ]

[cherryblooded]

If you'd like my help, all you need is to give the word.

[That will probably not happen.]

[happysweets]

Misa-Misa will keep you on-call, then!

[ Or, in model-ese, "you probably won't be hearing from us." Though, if he's not there, people might ask questions, so, better to keep the door open just a crack...

Ugh. Things were so much easier before the sight of him made her stomach spin. God dammit. ]

Well! While I have you here, let's see, questions, questions...Misa-Misa wants to try and get them from everyone, even though she's not gonna be dating anyone...oh! This one's cute! "Make three true 'we' statements each..." So, like, "we are both in committed relationships!"

[ Or "We are both lying our asses off". ]

[cherryblooded]

We also both have excellent fashion sense, and we both like making the people around us happy.

[The lying one can be a fourth. Backup.]

[happysweets]

Hm...well, we are both sharp dressers. And we do definitely like to make sure everyone's feeling comfortable! Oh, oh, and we also both have little pigtails in our hair, too! ...Although I guess yours are more like antennae?

[cherryblooded]

They are antennae. [He gives them a wiggle to demonstrate.]

[happysweets]

Whaaaat?! Oh my gosh, that's so cute!

[ Not even lying right now what the hell that's adorable??? ]

[cherryblooded]

[At least we can be honest about one thing!]

I'm glad you think so. [Wiggle wiggle!]

[happysweets]

Misa-Misa wishes she could do that with her hair...

[ she looks...genuinely upset about it........ ]

[cherryblooded]

...That's alright. There's good parts to being human, too.

[happysweets]

Hmph! You're just trying to make me less jealous of your hair!

[ she's gonna snip them off when he's not looking-- ]

Well, it isn't gonna work!

[ She crosses her arms and turns away, angrily taking a bite of one of the kiwis on her skewer.. ]

[cherryblooded]

[Oh my god don't do that please.]

So what will work?

[Misa-Misa's hair is lovely on its own...!]

[happysweets]

Hm...I dunno, Cherry. Misa-Misa doesn't have all the answers.

It'd be kinda nice if she did, though, y'know?

[ She just shrugs her shoulders... ]

[cherryblooded]

That's what everyone wants, isn't it? To have all the answers to their problems.

It's too bad that's impossible. Some people would be a lot happier.

[happysweets]

Would you? ...Just curious.

[cherryblooded]

...At this moment, I'd be happy if I had the answer on how to get out of here. But in general... it's nice to have a few surprises now and then.

[happysweets]

Well, that definitely would be nice. ...I guess it depends on the surprise, though.

[cherryblooded]

Definitely prefer the nice surprises. But even bad surprises make things less boring.

[happysweets]

You really are an optimist, huh...

[cherryblooded]

Did you doubt it?

[It's probably weird with his everything, now.]

[happysweets]

No. That kind of outlook suits someone like you, now that Misa-Misa thinks about it.

[cherryblooded]

[...that's kind of ominous now.]

Will take that as a compliment.

[happysweets]

It was more of a regular old observation, really! I didn't exactly mean it one way or the other.

[cherryblooded]

At least it's not an insult.

[It totally is.]

[happysweets]

Of course not! I wouldn't do something like that. ...At least, not on purpose.

[ Or in public. ]
