pageant of the bizarre
[Throughout the late afternoon and early evening, Stan seems to have put a surprising amount of effort into setting up the dining hall. It's not usually something he would do without any kind of potential gain, but hell - there's not a whole lot else to do here. And really, if he hangs up some of the ribbons from the sewing room, well, it's not like anybody was using them. He knows how to decorate for parties.
There is a conspicuous lack of glitter in any of the decorations, though. Too soon.
The only dish currently set out is a pan of cinnamon noodle kugel. It's a potluck, bring your own shit! He has bothered to make some punch, at least, as well as bringing down some booze from the bar. Maybe alcohol on Murder Night isn't the best idea, but he'll keep an eye out for anyone who decides to indulge. He'd have to anyway. Apparently passing out in the dining hall will end in explosions.
Speaking of rude and arbitrary rules: off to the side, there's a table labeled KINGMAKERS. There's only one piece of paper there now, a well-done drawing of what looks like a young, ostentatiously emo Mitt Romney. It's obviously Stan's, since he got here first, but he hasn't bothered to sign it; apparently you can submit anonymously or not, however you feel like. As long as we're all participating in the public mockery!]

Oh wow, I guess that means I win, doesn't it?
[ Did you know he could sound like an incredibly overjoyed and smug asshole?? Because he can. And he is. The most overjoyed and smug asshole. ]
I was getting worried, to be honest with you. You almost had it... [ The happiest sigh. ] But you jinxed yourself. [ and now...
...he has to figure out a request, uh, this is a problem. He's not creative enough for this. Oh no. ]
no subject
So, what's in store for me?
no subject
Can I take a rain check on answering? [ ... ] I told you I wasn't any good at this.

no subject
...all right, go ahead.

... Black isn't your birthname, is it?
[him mentioning 'Mary' before cinched that, but like hell he's saying that]
no subject
Did you know you're only the second person to ask that? Mr. Tarrlok was the other. [ ...Black that isn't an answer— ] No, it's not. Just a nickname... and a code name nowadays, I guess. White and I are... we were undercover.
[ Due to the whole barrier thing. ]
My real name's William. [ It feels like it's been ages since he actually properly introduced himself, wow. It couldn't have been that long, though, right..? ] William Macbeth.
no subject
[He rolls it around over his tongue, like he's tasting it. After all, it's a foreign name to him- but not an uncommon one. He's heard it before enough, but never really had to SAY it before now.]
Wait! Like erm... [Fingersnap!] Like the play!
no subject
Oh--yeah. It's a good one, too. [ his fave is lady macbeth txt it ] My family's not into regicide though. ...As far as I know.
no subject
[Seriously man this guy barely reads anything harder then school books and manga]
no subject
[ ...he didn't, not really, but look at him. That's not really surprising. ]
You can call me whatever you'd like, by the way. [ ...huh, yeah, he doesn't feel skittish about that. Cool. ] It might be easier to keep to Black since that's what everyone else knows, but I wouldn't say no to William or Will, either.

I sort of want to know what you'd consider one... but I'll let you surprise me. [ this is going to be a mistake and he knows it but God is he a sucker. ]
no subject
But now I know, and you got some extra time to figure out your request.
no subject
[ ... ]
If you won, what was your request going to be?
