MOCK ROUND - WEEK 2 AFTERPARTY

[enter_the_darkness]

It was over... right?

They'd all done their part and participated in her game, and the witch was proving to be good for her word.

Surely, all that was left was for them to be returned home, each wish granted...🗈

[ Of course, not everyone is feeling so optimistic.

Vanitas is hanging out in the kitchen for a long while, a certain baby goat in tow as he seems to... aggressively be tackling a recipe that should be very familiar to Asuma by now (spoiler, it's curry). Vanitas has made it... a few times, since the day it was introduced to him, and it would seem this is something he's not... too bad at?

(Maybe enjoying cooking has a hand in that, but shhhh... Don't tell Vanitas that.)

Another thing that isn't new is the fact that he's made way more than he needed to. After pausing to feed the baby goat more raw meat, he's washing his hands and folding his arms over his chest to stare at the abundance of food... ]

... Don't say anything.

[ That's to Asuma (or anyone else who happens to be passing through the kitchen).

A little later, the food has been put out on the table for nO REASON AT ALL. Goat-kun is sitting on the floor, getting babysat by a small group of Unversed.

They're... playing with him?? Or something. ]

Comments

[helmdivide]

Oh hey, are you making food for everyone?

[ Wow, Vanitas. That's so sweet.

He is going to grab a carrot to feed the baby goat. LOOK, it's not junk. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Just

throwing an apple at Jack's head. ]

[helmdivide]

[ Catching it.

And offering it to Goat-kun. Eat up, little guy. ]

Someone might think you're sick if you're caring this much.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He just sighs and rolls his eyes!!! ]

I'm just bored...

[ . . . muuuuuuttered: ]

And forgot to cut the recipe, again.

[helmdivide]

[ Reaching over to mess with his hair. ]

Yeah, likely story. It's okay. I'll keep it a secret.

[ Winking. ]

[curryparty]

Heheh... I didn't even say anything yet!

[Yet.

Asuma's busy, himself. He's diligently preparing an assortment of ingredients, chopping and slicing and measuring. It would all look almost normal if there wasn't a cauldron involved.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Flicking some random vegetables at the back of his head! ]

So... that's what magic stuff from your world looks like, then?

[curryparty]

Some of it! There's a lot of different types. I'm not at a high enough level to really specialize, though.

[He says




trying to grant a wish.]

After talking with Riku though, I thought it would be better to make a potion. That way the ingredients can enhance the effects of the magic, and there isn't a direct conduit between us for the darkness to corrupt.

[enter_the_darkness]

So, you're a student?

[ Hm. That's fine, surely. ]

Guess, if anything, I'll provide a nice learning experience for you.

[curryparty]

Yeah, I was in magical academy before I came here.

[He is TOTALLY QUALIFIED to be making this shit, good thing he's also an actual genius at magic.]

It's true, though! Those books in the library taught me a bunch of stuff we aren't even close to in class.

curry times

[dawnwardspiral]

Don't say what? 'Thanks for making food for everyone'?

Can't be ungrateful, can I?

[ He's here to grab some food, and yes he is saying the thing so. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He huffs softly. ]

I didn't do it on purpose...

[dawnwardspiral]

If you say so.

[ Smiling as he says as much. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Flicking a piece of apple at him. ]

Just tell me if it sucks, or not.

[dawnwardspiral]

[ Catches it between two fingers. ]

That interested in my opinion? That's flattering.

[ He'll give the curry a try after nabbing some, and continue to go at it. But, teasingly not saying how it tastes just yet until he's half-way through. ]

...Not bad.

[iblistriggered]

[That was a lot tamer than what "happened" to Vanitas, so Silver is actually around this time!

He looks at the curry, then sniffs it curiously]

I was just gonna ask what it is...

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shrugs. ]

Curry.

[ Gesturing at Asuma vaguely. ]

He showed me what it was during my first week here.

[very_good_end]

[sitting with her legs crossed, looking around disapprovingly]

[helmdivide]

[ Find Jack sitting with a bowl of curry looking out the window. The usual smile or laugh isn't plastered on his face and instead he seems pensive.

Later, he will wait until Vanitas is in the middle of talking to someone before he snags Goat-Kun. Just going to be scritching at his horns and making friends for a bit.

Then he will be giving him some fruits, veggies, and then eventually

Cake. ]

You really aren't picky, huh?

[enter_the_darkness]

... You do know the old man would try to kill you for this, right?

[helmdivide]

Yeah, but a little cake won't hurt him. Riiight, Goat-Kun?

[overlordad]

[As if summoned by these words, in the distance, one can hear a low bellow. Like the roar of a demon straight out of hell.

It gets louder. Louder...

Until Takashi bursts in the room from...somewhere? Dressed in a very reveling black dress that's only half on, with half tied bows in his hair and heels. Which he has no issues running in on his way to just... grab Jack from behind and fucking suplexing him]

DID YOU THINK A WITCH WOULD KEEP YOU SAFE, SHITHEAD???!

[dawnwardspiral]

[ wtf just happened ]

[enter_the_darkness]

I think your boyfriend's dead now.

[helmdivide]

[ HE DID NOT EXPECT THAT!!!

And he gets fucking suplexed ]

Ow! Hey! What the-

[ He's on the ground and is already pushing himself to fall away from Takashi when

he sees

that fucking dress and bows. ]

Hey, are you playing dress up?
