matchbreaker: (Honestly this was better zoomed)

One day we'll reach to emotions: unexplored, unprecedented

[ Sometime shortly after the trial small notes will be folded underneath the doors of everyone still alive, and also posted to the staircase leading up to the upper floors. Not many of you have probably seen Elda's penmanship yet unless you checked that Penmanship check a while back, but it's impossibly impeccable fancy cursive script, to match with her old timey appearance. ... She also writes a lot more proper than she talks. ]

To My Fellows,

The half of you who didn't assist me in this are cordially invited to a celebration of our continued living, and to the memories of those who aren't. We are a mismatched group,
but it has become increasingly clear that we are together in this. Do not allow yourself to be alone.

We will be congregating in the ballroom for the rest of the night.

Better chefs than I will be providing food.

Sincerely,
Elda Marker


[ she's being somewhat facetious about half the group, but the fact does remain that she got more offers than she expected, when she set out to do this. She had expected that Sayaka would help, and indeed both her and Alex provide cookies and curry for the tables. Elda herself sets up the tables, dotting one longer central one made of smaller ones in the ballroom for things to sit on. The bulk of the food's provided by Tarrlok of all people, Chinese food by any other name. Susan, bless her, provides alcohol. Hibki, once she was clean, decided to run backup on preparing the food.

And then perhaps fittingly, Aligula provided the decorations. Steamers line the room, and little cut outs hang around. At Elda's instruction, it's a mix of cats, snakes, and bats. The majority of them have little faces on them. And finally, as and afterthought more than anything else, Elda makes some tea.

... Said tea is black tea and is impossibly dark and bitter because she can't taste it, but maybe that's what you want on a night like this. Who knows. ]

[This poor man. At his yelp, though, Rin jumps where she was sitting in place.]

Wait, that wasn't a pot?! [Climbing quickly to her feet, Rin sounds both shocked and aghast with herself as she rushes over.] I'm sorry, Luca. Here, let me help.

[Oh my god.]

No, Rin. I am not a pot.

[He is already going over to grab a towel or something to wipe himself off with, too.]

[There's a wince, followed by awkward laughter.]

Usually I'm more attentive with these things. [She has paper napkins? Have all the paper napkins, Luca.] It's a good thing we have a change of clothes. If you want to change, I'd be willing to do your laundry for you?

[She looks flustered, and genuinely annoyed with herself.]

Ah, no, that is not necessary. I can wash my laundry on my own.

[Thanks for the napkins though, he is cleaning himself up now.]

Just...pay more attention next time, I suppose? Or maybe go get some rest, if you are tired.
heritrix: (behold such generosity)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-16 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I would if I thought I'd actually sleep. I'll try to be less distracted, though. [Rin sighs.] How are you managing?
