WEEK 5 AFTERPARTY(?)

[fullbodied]

After all of that, maybe their spirits were on the edge of breaking down. Or maybe they just needed time to process what had just happened.

But either way, in the wake of the trial, it was quiet.🗈

There wasn't an after-party this time. Though there probably should be, some time to connect between the remaining pieces, the people who would have arranged it... all needed some time alone. But there is a chance to connect, even if it isn't via a party.

...I'm not a child.

[ That is a calmish grumble. This is the hill he decides he'll die on, apparently. ]

Thanks, I guess. [ ... ] Are you planning on making drinks for anyone who comes on by?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

May as well, for the moment. Not much else for me to do beyond continuing boning up on knowledge of how far mathmatics has come in the future, or reading old books.

[rikuchi]

That's fair.

[ ...sips the mocktail. ]

...Not bad.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Of course it isn't.

[SMUG SMILE.]

All drinks - or cooking, really - is a mere application of chemistry, which can be then converted to mathmatics. It's quite an easy thing for a man of my caliber to do!

[rikuchi]

...It probably could, though I can't say I'm a chemistry or mathematics guy.

[ He snorts, but it definitely doesn't keep him from sipping more. ]

But, out of curiosity, do you have any other hidden talents you've been keeping from us?

[ Whether they're borne from science or something else. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

What would be the fun of telling you now?

[He grins in that smug way again, before shrugging.]

Well, perhaps one or two. But...I don't believe they're relevant at the moment.

[rikuchi]

[ Okay you've got him there. ]

Not surprised, I guess. But I'll just say having a skill in something mundane can be pretty useful.
