Afterparty 5.0

[forcegalactic]

[There's not much that can be believed about that trial. Or that execution. Still, like before, two hours after everyone leaves, they'll find a note slipped underneath their doors.]

We have to stick together. The dining room is there for anyone that needs a quiet space, and I cooked dinner.

Hibiki made some coffee and dessert for all of us.

-Mordecai Benmont Jiminy and Hibiki Ganaha

[Today's selection includes potato pancakes and a light coffee cake. Hibiki has lit two more candles in the dining hall. It doesn't take long before Mordecai lights a third.]

[ WAIT BEFORE YOU GO. ]

Hey. Ah.

[ Okay so um. What do you say about stuff like this? HOW ARE YOU DOING? or ARE YOU OKAY? are probably very, very stupid conversation starters. ]

You...you like potato pancakes?

[rickdiculous]

[holy shit]

Yeah. That's. Why I have them. On my plate.

[heymcfly]

[ t h i s i s a w k w a r d ]

Are they good? The pancakes.

I mean, I wanna try them out but I kinda got sick during the trial, so I'm not sure if I wanna eat 'em now or not.

[rickdiculous]

Then...don't. I don't really care.

[heymcfly]

Yeah...I kinda...don't blame you.

So-sorry. I'm just tryin' to...I mean, with everything, I don't wanna...

[ he tried ]

'M sorry. About all of this.

[rickdiculous]

It's not your deal. Or fault or whateve-whateer you wanna say.

[heymcfly]

Yeah, I know. But still.

Are you...okay?

[rickdiculous]

Gee, take a wild guess.

[heymcfly]

[ this isn't going well is it ]

...If, if you need someone to hang around or whatever or have a beer I can try 'n help you out, okay? I mean, if I can sneak something from Barkeep while he's not looking. Room 6 if you need me or anything.

[rickdiculous]

Maybe. Pr-probably not, though.

[NOPE.]

[heymcfly]

[ HE TRIED ]

Right. Well, ah. I'll just...go.

[ he's going to just slink off, excuse him ]
