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. ]

I didn't think about that. I don't have anything to hide myself...

[Is it dangerous? Wait, that grin sure looks mischievous.]

What are ya thinking?

Did I ever tell you what Susan and I found when we used the room keys Tabby collected?

Nope, you didn't! Did you guys find another hidden door? Or...some kinda treasure Tabby didn't tell anyone about?

[Rin laughs.] No, nothing like that. She just did a lot of furniture rearranging! Like we found all of the chests in Fern's room, and then a room that was all tables, and one that was all chairs, and so on.

It might be fun to keep up the tradition. We could take all of the pillows and toss them in Chie's room, for instance.

Woah...with all the furniture, you'd be able to make some sorta incredible fort if you put your mind to it! I sometimes rearrange the tables for my pets to play on and under.

[...!]

We could make a human-sized obstacle course!

[THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.]

[That's not the conclusion she was making, but...]

Yeah! For sure! You could make hurdles out of the desks, right?
heritrix: (hips don't lie)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-20 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely! And if you secured the chairs properly, they could make good jumping steps. You just space them out and alternate the pattern a bit...

[Rin's like zig-zagging in the hall now, standing in place to represent where she'd put each chair.]

If ya prop up the mattresses real close together, you could make somethin' that's really hard to squirm your way through, right? Sorta like a soft tunnel!

[Well, the mattresses here aren't great, but it's still a thought.]
