do it for love

[penduli]

[ 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. ]

It's very strange. There's still a lot we don't know, which is why knowing is all the more important.

[notjustawriter]

I wonder how you prove if magic's involved?

[amygdalae]

...I wouldn't know.

[WHY MAGIC EVEN...]

But magic is already unnatural by itself, so if it is a thing, there should be something that point it to us as such.

[notjustawriter]

I wouldn't say it's unnatural....

[spiritualism vs science: FITE]

Well, maybe if it's being used for evil.

[amygdalae]

[THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY.]

Well, I mean--magic by itself, from the little I've experienced, tends to break the laws of physics already, so...

[That's more of... what he's looking at??]

[notjustawriter]

I guess so. I've never thought about it that way, to be honest.

[It's real. That's all that matters to him.]

[amygdalae]

[Bruce supposes its a matter of perspective--it's not like he hasn't seen magic before prior to coming here thanks to Loki, but that was a bit out of there.

He lets out a quiet sound and shrugs.]

I suppose I'm not really the best person for these kinds of things.

[No matter what, he's still a man of science first and foremost.]

[notjustawriter]

Ah, don't worry about it.

[He's not bothered.]

I wouldn't have believed it myself not too long ago.

[amygdalae]

It's really something that's hard to believe unless you're there to witness it for yourself.

[notjustawriter]

It is.

After everything that's happened here, though, I gotta be honest.

I'd believe even the most outrageous thing someone here said.

[amygdalae]

This place does open up your perspectives quite a fair bit.

[Especially when you're in a normal... normal-ish world. For the most part.]

[notjustawriter]

Hard for it not to, I guess.

[amygdalae]

After everything we've been through here so far, it'd be foolish to not accept some things at the very least.

[Like shrimp people... or Pokemon...]
