week one afterparty ★ where is this warmth going? when it's tomorrow, it'll vanish

The day had ended on a rather solemn note, with not just one innocent dead, but two.

Both the Great Detective, Erika Furudo and the magical girl known as Cure Aqua, Karen Minazuki were killed in cold blood, and all that was left behind was a pool of blood that acknowledged their deaths. And yet, in spite of that, they had to move forward... 🗈


Of course, in spite of the lingering feeling that hung in the air, the possible suspicion that would probably stick through them for the rest of their stay here, if not for the rest of their lives.

Being used to death, he knew very well the sting of having blood on your own hands. He understood too well the consequences. But he didn't want people to simply just blame themselves for something that wasn't entirely their fault.

Which is why after a while, he goes on ahead to search people out to tell them that if they would prefer not to be alone, they can come to the dining room and that there will be food. For those who stay in their rooms, however, they'll find a neatly handwritten letter:

    To the one who might read this:

    We're dealing with a difficult time and I know that because of this turn of events, that people might start to distrust one another and even make the decision to not face the future. But I don't want to hide and run away from our present; I want all of us to face the reality and change the future so that it isn't a sad one. I'm certain that the two that we lost would not want that from us, either.

    Feel free to meet me in the dining room if you wish to mourn, or if you'd wish to not face all of this alone. Nobody deserves to be alone on a day like this. Food will be provided. Don't force yourself to come, though.

    - Syaoran


Set up in the dining area are a lot of various comfort foods - a lot of soup based dishes, kebabs, hot pots, you name it. Even if the times are difficult, especially with the results, at the very least there's a small glimmer hope, right...?

[ ... Yeah, the smoke smell definitely is a clue that they had something to do with it. Hence him asking what the heck is going on. ]

And you figured that out by... starting a fire...?



... Not that I'm outright against arson, when it comes to this place, but...
improbablenotimpossible: (Let me ponder the matter further)

... it turned out to be the long way about doing things.

[Aka: boy that wasn't needed. He slowly opens the book, the pages blank, giving a tired sigh]

I suppose the answer will come another day.

Eh? You set the chapel on fire and ran around the mansion for a blank book?

[He's peering over Ruler's shoulder!]

Is it like a secret code? The Witches really seem to enjoy those.

[He felt his brow twitch]

It - it likely is. 'Place the fragments inside it, and learn of the truth.'.
anonnomnomnom: (Wish I had the talent to study.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-31 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Fragments, fragments... So, like pieces of something? Or Pieces? Or those things that Yuuko keeps talking about?

[There's so many possibilities!]

[ Man, he didn't even go through any of that and he's already more exhausted, just from hearing these things...... ]
anonnomnomnom: (What a moron.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-31 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He thinks it sounds like a grand old adventure!]

[Shadow is here. Sometime, he must have passed out, judging by the half-drunk bottle of whiskey in his hand ]

WHAT. ARE YOU ALL. Doin. Huh? This ish a librarrryyyyy. Be... be quiet.
anonnomnomnom: (Friends are like potatoes.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-31 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, Shadow!

[Anon is waving at him way too loudly and cheerfully, probably.]

You're the loudest one here!
chaoscontrol: (NOW LISTEN HERE)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-04-01 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I AM NOT LOUD.

[yes he is]

Get owt of my houssshe.
anonnomnomnom: (My what a nice sword you have.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-04-01 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
I bet they can hear you from all the way out in the hall and down to the chapel by now.

[If there are any goats nearby they are totally giving Shadow disapproving looks, probably.

Along with everyone else still crowded in here. To be fair, their combined loudness is even worse.]

And this is the library and the house is Yuuko's! Sort of.
