penduli: (87 caught up in a city feud)

do it for love

[ Every week is the same song and dance, but it never really gets easier, or works, or ever seems like it’s going to stop.

There will be time for everyone to rest before Black comes knocking on their doors (a moot point, given the soundproofedness of them) and slipping a note beneath them. He needed the respite too, and they needed to prepare food, and… he still thinks it’s a little weird to have a party after a trial, but he’s starting to really understand why it’s not a bad idea, either. ]


[Name],

Misa would’ve wanted us to keep a smile on our faces, or at least put a smile somewhere. There’s a pancake bar up in the chapel, if you’d like to come by and make a few happen. If you don't want to come, that's fine, too. The offer's open all night.

Ever yours,
Black


[ …the ending is something he’s never quite shaken, unfortunately.

Those that make their way up to the chapel will, indeed, find a pancake bar, courtesy of Yosuke and Stan (because Black never feels that hungry after trials and someone needs to stress bake here). That is, there are pancakes! There are syrups, whipped cream, fruits, berries, candies, etc! Sprinkles! Hot chocolate, ice cream… everything you could want for your build-your-own-pancake masterpiece. It’s all set up on some tables shoved against the chapel’s walls.

…special Stancakes (or pancakes with a hint of Stan in them, aka some of his hair that might’ve gotten in there accidentally, whoops) are also available.

There’s also alcohol—dessert wines mostly, to pair with their overwhelming sugar bias, but there’s some ordinary stuff there too. Pancake bar.

The framed photos are where they’ve always been on the center area, along with their matching stuffed animals. …or most of them; some haven’t been made, some pictures haven’t been put up, you get the idea. ]

[Well...when it comes to whatever is happening in the chapel, Mettaton won't be there for a while. Once again, in the immortal words of his goddamn shut-in of a cousin, the best way to summarize his thoughts on the matter is "REALLY NOT FEELING UP TO IT RIGHT NOW, SORRY"; that said, one of the things Misa had tasked them all with doing is beating the high scores on that stupid dancing game, so he's going to forego the fourth floor in favor of the fifth and spend maybe twenty minutes in the arcade actually trying to beat his last fucking run of Possession before he just kind of...finds somewhere to sit down on the damn floor against the wall with his knees drawn up and his eyes closed.

He isn't sure how long he stays like that; it doesn't matter, really, and it's not like he'll be punished for it – he's worn-out but he doesn't sleep, after all.

He just needs a while to reset.

Admittedly, any mental reset he's been doing nearly goes straight out the window when he does go to join the rest, because of whatever the actual hell Cherryblod thinks he's doing; that's getting solidly ignored, because he's not in the mood to deal with it and perhaps more to the point he can't promise he won't just slap the guy for it, so he's just. Going to be disregarding the...all of that and instead he'll just kind of loiter in the chapel and watch everyone for a while, and he'll make sure that he's not needed for anything before. Well. Probably going back upstairs, honestly.

Again, it's not like he needs sleep.]
cherryblooded: (smile / peachy)

[We've had this conversation about how there is no such thing as a trial that Cherryblod will not check up on Mettaton after, so regardless of how much ignoring Mettaton's doing, Cherryblod's going to approach him.]

How are you holding up?
ratingspoint: (ARROGANCE ♥ that's what she said)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
About as well as anyone would expect.

[He's not going to be completely rude, but he's pretty content to be utterly superficial for now, thank you.]
cherryblooded: (calm / not as fine)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[You know how he deals with Mettaton being aggressively superficial.]

That's about what I thought.

Is there anything I can do for you, dear?
ratingspoint: (REALLY ♥ heel turn one more time i s2g)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
You could try not getting yourself killed, that might be nice.
cherryblooded: (calm / not as fine)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sword of Damocles.

[But he does appreciate the concern, as coldly worded as it is.]

Anyway, it's not as if I'm going to lay down and die.
ratingspoint: (STRIKE ♥ that's enough of this)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
That's nice. Are we done here? As much as I'm sure my presence is desired here, I'd really prefer to not stay.

[He's so fucking done with this right now.]
cherryblooded: (calm / frown)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
That depends on whether you want to talk about this now or later, because we're going to be talking about it eventually.
ratingspoint: (ARROGANCE ♥ that's what she said)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[And the laugh that gets out of him is about as cold as his words earlier.]

I don't think you get to decide that.
cherryblooded: (calm / say what)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
You can't mean to avoid me for the rest of our stay.
ratingspoint: (RECOVER ♥ it's either me or you)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I never said that.

Whether we discuss it or not is another matter.
cherryblooded: (calm / actually kind of sad)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
The last time we fought, things worked out much better when we actually talked about it.

[Just saying.]
ratingspoint: (KISS ♥ sparkle up your day!)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
And they probably would this time! Who knows, though.

[And his voice is back to being strange and almost determinedly bright; feelings off, stage persona on. Just like that.]

It doesn't particularly matter to me anymore, anyway. Are we done?
cherryblooded: (calm / frown)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Nope.

[It's not the first time Mettaton's done this whole 'I don't care if you get yourself killed' thing, so it doesn't sting as much, but he sympathizes considerably with Sigrun.]

If it didn't matter to you at all, you wouldn't be this angry at me.
ratingspoint: (ARROGANCE ♥ that's what she said)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I won't be for very long - I never am, darling.
cherryblooded: (calm / actually kind of sad)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
But you wouldn't be angry at all if my life didn't mean something to you.

It means a great deal to me - truly, it does. There's no one who matters more to me in this vault.

But this is something I was going to have to do, eventually.
ratingspoint: (RECOVER ♥ it's either me or you)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Again, that's nice. Do what you want? I'd like to hear you try to quote the moment I tried to stop you, because I didn't.

Stop making such a big thing out of it. Like I said, I don't care.
cherryblooded: (calm / wait what)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
You can't both not care and be furious with me over it.
ratingspoint: (ARROGANCE ♥ that's what she said)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever you say, darling. I'm going back upstairs.

[are you going to let him leave or are we going to continue playing conversational-deadlock chicken]
cherryblooded: (calm / actually kind of sad)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-03 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
...

Fine. Love you, take care of yourself.

[He can leave if he wants.]
ratingspoint: (REALLY ♥ heel turn one more time i s2g)

[personal profile] ratingspoint 2016-04-03 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, don't worry, he plans on it.]
