at the end of the river, the sundown beams

[destage]

[Well...that trial was most certainly a thing, now wasn't it.

It's probably a while after the trial that some notes will be going underneath people's doors, written in a nice, clean scrawl--]

For anyone who hasn't gotten anything to eat, there will be food and refreshments provided in the dining room courtesy of Estelle-san and I. Feel free to take as much as you need.

Please stay strong, everyone.

♥ Estelle and Sayaka

[True to the word, there's plenty of food to go around--potato stew courtesy of Estelle, and curry courtesy of Sayaka. There's coffee and tea out as well, for anyone to drink, and...well, it's more or less an optional thing. After today, some might need it.]

How do you figure?

[ Terumi's not making to grab any food. ]

[hesperos]

It wasn't as long as it could've been, but some of that was quite a bit to take in, basically.

[ Yuri's answer was kinda lazy but he's feeling the most incredible urge to chill, so that's how it's gonna be. ]

You gonna try any of the food? It's not all that bad.

[hentopan]

Bubbles put up some fight at least, but the rest of it was whatever. Least it wasn't long as shit. [ He looks at the food, shakes his head. ]

Don't want any, I wouldn't like any of it anyway.

[hesperos]

It was whatever, including the execution, huh?

[ Guess he did ask about it after all--oh well. ]

Would you have eaten any of the food if there was some hard boiled eggs?

[hentopan]

I've killed people in a lot worse ways, though I won't deny that the weapon the doll summoned was interesting.

[ He kind of shrugs. ]

I usually let my vessels handle the every day crap.

[hesperos]

[ ... Dude. Yuri will do himself a favor and not even ask but.

Yeah. ]

What'd you mean by vessels? Is there some sort of possession stuff going on?

[ Are you some kind of ghost, Terumi? ]

[hentopan]

[ What part of this man ever looked sane to you. ]

My vessels! Usually I use someone else's body, works out better that way even if it's a pain in the ass. Especially this last one, so it's kinda not a bad deal that the doll gave me a new one here.

[hesperos]

[ None, actually!!

He's absorbing that information and he's about to ask about it, but- ]

... Doll? That some kinda nickname you've given to Alena?

[ Now that he recalls the execution again, Yuri supposed maybe that's a good word for how she seemed when she was taking care of Caren. Lifeless. Doll-like.

It bothered him and made him want to ask questions. But not right now. ]

[hentopan]

[ hdu use such a cute icon. ]

Right, right! She works a lot better than my dolls at home too, she might be worth remembering.

[hesperos]

...Wait, what the hell?

[ Yuri just lost Terumi there. Kinda. ]

When you say 'dolls' are you referring to people under you or what?

[ Maybe it's not too farfetched, seeing as Terumi's position sounded important? ]

[hentopan]

Not people, artificial constructs, you know? Bodies you create for one reason or another.

[hesperos]

[ .....Dude. Not in the judgmental way this time. More like 'what even'. ]

I don't think we have anything like that where I've come from.

[ .... ]

How do you make stuff like that, anyway?

[hentopan]

Trade secret~!

[hesperos]

Wow and here I thought you were going to tell me everything.

[hentopan]

What, do you think I'm a cheap date or something?

[hesperos]

'Course not.

[ ..... ]

I'm the kind of guy who'd treat his dates well - and I'd make it worth your while, you know?

[ God. ]

[hentopan]

[ You know, he is decidedly not interested in romance if his absence from the speed-dating was any indication. But on the other hand, he's nothing if not confident in himself so he just smirks. ]

Hah! In that case you should try asking me out for coffee or some shit first before asking bout my secrets~.

[hesperos]

Coffee, eh? I'd make it a little more than that at least.

[ He'd make some coffee cake, but what he said kind of can be taken either way.

Also, despite it all, Yuri also no-showed to the speed dating, though who knows if it was because he couldn't be bothered or otherwise. ]

[hentopan]

[ Its not bc were modding a game where our npcs hate each other.

Terumi kind of shrugs, though his smirk hasn't diminished any. ]

Don't bother unless it includes something actually interesting like fighting.

[hesperos]

[ Terumi why did you have to mention fighting, because yeah there's no way Yuri isn't taking that as a challenge. ]

And if it did?

[ Let's rumble, right here IN THE DINING ROOM okay no, not really. ]

[hentopan]

Keheheh, you really think you can handle me?

[ Flashbacks to R3, but he's totally willing. Right here no not right here plz. ]

[hesperos]

'Course I can.

[ Luckily Yuri has enough tact to not start a fight in the middle of the dining room right now. ]

[hentopan]

Then freaking come on already!

[ Man did he wish he had Ouroboros, cause he would have started this fight by now. ]

[hesperos]

Alright, but not in here.

[ He gets up, though. He's serious about that part, but anything right outside of the dining room or elsewhere is fair game. ]

[hentopan]

[ He kind of pouts, but he looks ready to follow. ]

Still a stickler for rules huh, pretty boy?

[ Just because he's not ready to get down right here Terumi... ]
