pick a god and pray

[garudynamic]

[Like the weeks before, once everyone has wandered off their separate ways, notes are posted to each room that still has a warm body in it. Only this time the writing is much messier then any other notice]

None of us feel like celebrating, but I think Yato would approve if we don't spend the night hiding out because of him
There's warmed up food in the Game Room if you're hungry. Might be best to not be alone tonight.

-Yosuke

[And as promised there's leftovers in the Game Room; and eventually fresh stuff as Tarrlok gets to work in the kitchen. Yosuke is there, trying to set something up on one of the shelves, but otherwise you are left to your own devices]

[As always, Mouri goes to the afterparty. This time is in the Game Room, which...gets Mouri a bit upset. Is it really the best place for it?

When he arrives he sees Yosuke's shrine for Yato and Mion. Well he can at least distinguish it's a shrine, but the reason why it is there...yeah, he doesn't immediately catches it, but after a minute of thinking he can guess why it exists.

There's a coin inside and Mouri is respectful enough to know that shouldn't be touched, at all]

...a shrine. For Yato-san, I suppose.

[That was more of a mumbling for himself than towards Yosuke. The kid must be tired, after all, Mouri doesn't really want to bother him. Still, it is time to do stuff.

Mouri gathers pieces and cards from board games he guesses won't ever get used and starts decorating the shrine, trying to make it look more majestic like the ones he remembers from the various trips he, Ran and Conan had gone into. At least Mouri has some artistic sense, and soon the placement of the different objects makes the shrine look slightly bigger and much more appealing, all while keeping Yosuke's work mostly untouched, as he isn't somebody who would destroy something somebody else worked for

At the end he's rather proud of it.]

[ Shirazu notices Mouri decorating the shrine and approaches him. ]

...It looks nice.

[sleepingkogoro]

It's the least I could do. It'll be nice to have something to honor Yato-san and Sonozaki-san.

[Murder or no murder that won't stop anyone from thinking well of them]

[ignorantly]

I'm sure they would have appreciated it...

[ ... ]

How're you holdin' up?

[sleepingkogoro]

I'm okay despite everything. I had barely started to know Sonozaki-san, but she had the same age than my daughter. It...made me upset, I admit it.

[Shrug]

At least the fact I solved a crucial part of the case which led to Yato-san being caught is of some consolation to me.

[Even if, um, the pen ended being largely ineffectual after the meaning of that metal piece was finally pinpointed]

Did you know Sonozaki-san or Yato-san well?

[ignorantly]

I didn't know Miodori that well... I knew Yassan a little better, though. He made me breakfast and we were talking about making a stuffed animal zoo earlier this week. I'm gonna have talk to Black about that.

[sleepingkogoro]

Stuffed animal zoo?

[Well that got his attention. Not that he is going to offer to help because he has already given up at sewing]

How's that going to be, exactly?

[ignorantly]

Everyone here gets a different animal to represent them and then we put 'em up on display somewhere.

[sleepingkogoro]

[Well if it helps you cope he is not going to protest]

And what would I be?

[Because clearly that's the only thing that matters right now]

[ignorantly]

I dunno. A rhino? [ ...just saying the first animal that comes to mind. ]

[sleepingkogoro]

A rhino?!

[...that is not at all what he expected. It doesn't take him long to twist it into something favorable]

Oooh, I get it! A rhino because I'm imposing and will take down any obstacle I find in front of me. That's a good choice!
