Week 2, Saturday Afterparty + Sunday!

[arraignments]

[ Three total losses...

With the air heavier and gloomier than before, Goro's feeling... much more restless. So, about an hour after the games have ended, he can be found in the kitchen. He'll recruit anyone who comes in (that he knows can cook/bake, obvs). He's not... actually doing any cooking, himself, though he does make some coffee and lots of sandwiches.

There is a variety of other dishes (see Saki's toplevel for more items), as well!

Everything is being set up outside, not too far from the pool, and there are blankets on the ground - time for a picnic! ]

Comments

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She'll set out some food for the others, even if it's largely simple stuff - some yakisoba, since that's quick and filling. There's also rice and fried beef if anyone feels like tossing it all in a bowl for gyudon.]

[Garden]

[Once she's finished making food and checking on her people privately, Saki can be seen wandering outside to crouch by the garden. With her head resting on her hand and her elbow on her knee, it could be assumed she's just looking at the plants there even if it's... kind of an odd time to do so.

So that said, if anyone actually comes closer, it'll be quickly evident that she's crying.

It's been a rough day.]

[Rec Room - alcohol cw, but does not assume drinking]

[And then, once her tears are spent, she'll eventually curl up in the rec room for a while, bottles of jagermeister and disaronno out in case people want to partake. Saki isn't - currently. But you could probably change her mind pretty quickly.

Her eyes are still red from crying earlier, but by now, she just seems exhausted, and it shows in how quiet her voice is when she greets people.]

Hey...

rec room

[dereban]

. . . hey.

[ Inaba sounds pretty exhausted herself, if only because this sure has been a week, hasn't it? ]

Garden

[breadloaf]

[ Trying his best to sneak up from behind on this poor Saki, a blanket is draped over her shoulders. ]

rec room

[failsaw]

[Giriko's burned through her bottle of alcohol days ago, but she needs a drink.]

You gonna finish that one? [She asks, pointing at the jagermeister. It's got a badass logo, so she'll go for it.]

garden

[odasaku]

[ oda’s never been the best at comforting adults. usually, he keeps his emotions to himself, only to blow up at a later date about it.

but with saki... he wants to try a little differently. a little harder. so when he sees her crying, he kneels down next to her, and pulls her into a hug. ]

Don’t cry alone. They wouldn’t want that.

Rec Room

[scarsnstripes]

[Thanks to Akira, he's able to walk around some-- and before he turns in for the night, he wants to locate Saki and reassure her. He's still tired, energy drained from the earlier poisoning, but he's feeling better after being healed and eating something to stabilize his system.

When he finds Saki, she's looks like she's been in a bit of a state, and his brows furrow in concerned understanding before he settles next to her on the couch.]

Hey, Saki-san.

garden

[visionem]

The events of today weigh heavily on you, Watanabe Saki.

[ Alcor for: you don't look so hot. He's not getting too close, floating around other plants himself. ]

SUNDAY!

[iblistriggered]

[CHICKEN COOP]
[Silver asked Doezai if he could borrow the Prinnies for a little, and their host agreed! So during the day, the little penguin guys have brought some wood and corrugated metal and the like and are building what appears to be a tiny house in the yard. But it's not a tiny house! It's a chicken coop!

Silver himself has found a folding card table somewhere and there's a big pitcher of lemonade, paper cups, and some fresh berries. There's also a hand-drawn sign.

"FOR YOUR INTENSE THIRSTS"

Oh, the shade.

Silver calls out to the Prinnies, too] You guys can have lemonade, too!

====

[INCONCEIVABLE]
[In the evening, Silver will do this best to wrangle everyone into the rec room. There's soda and popcorn, and he's brought in comfy chairs from all over the house. There's nothing better than a good movie for a distraction]

Alright! Listen up! Tonight, we're watching a classic! [he holds up a DVD] This is "The Princess Bride"! It's quotable and hilarious and it has really good fencing in it! So we're going to watch it!

[OR ELSE Silver will make very big sad eyes at you]

CHICKEN COOP

[iblistriggered]

MOVIE PARTY

[iblistriggered]

[darkova]

[Ingway doesn't arrive with the others right away, taking over the kitchen for a small bit before Goro makes food- he can be seen carefully wiping residue from one of the Murder Party cups and adding it to one of his mason jars- the fluid turning a very alarming dark purple. He will end up taking the potion to the poisoned folks to help with their vomiting!

Later he goes outside with the others to eat, if anyone is looking for him.]

"Afterparty" + Sunday (+note at bottom)

[arraignments]

Afterparty Prep/Wildcard Option

[ Before the Afterparty even happens, Goro can be seen restlessly pacing in the kitchen. With his back to the door, he's pulling something out of his pocket... For a moment, he simply looks at it; the second he hears someone approaching, however?

He's shoving whatever that is into his pocket and turning towards the person. Briefly, there's an empty look on his face. ]

Hey...

During Afterparty

[ He is not at the party, but it isn't impossible to find him!

Goro can be located in a few places - curled up in the common room, around Yellow room, or hanging out... around the confession room?

By late that night, one thing that's possibly important to note - for close CR or anyone paying attention: he hasn't eaten since before the games started. That's probably fine, though. ]

Sunday

[ Early in that day, he can be found with his face pressed against the dining room table, food next to his head... and. . . asleep?

Feel free to wake him, maybe.

By lunch, he's outside - swimming in the pool, soaking in the hot tub, punching a tree, or napping in the grass. He seems to be trying to get himself together again, but it's probably obvious that he's exhausted. ]

Wildcard

[ Feel free to just pick any additional location! Plot with me if anything strays too far from what I already have, but I won't be doing much tagging out, due to the move that's coming up. ]

Afterparty

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She's already been checking in on the others, even though she's utterly exhausted. When she sees him puttering around without a single bite to eat, she ducks back into the kitchen with the intent of changing that.

She ambushes him with a plate of yakisoba and chopsticks as he's hanging around the confession room.]

Please eat something.

Sunday

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi always found water to be a bit soothing. Maybe it was the feel of it, maybe it was the tiger in him-- whatever the case, after a day like yesterday he wants a swim to clear his head and sooth his nerves.

He's swimming laps for a little while, but eventually he's going to be approaching the hot tub, stretching lightly as he does.

He looks a little on the exhausted side of things, too. Not that it stops him from offering a cheerful smile.]

Fancy some company, Goro?

afterparty prep

[merirut]

[Considering his usual habits, it's probably no surprise what Sandalphon is in the kitchen for. Still, it's hard to miss Akechi's weird behavior, so he pauses in making a beeline for the cabinets and narrows his eyes in suspicion. He's not sure how to interpret Akechi's expression, honestly.]

...What were you doing?

Prep

[darkova]

[He was here to make those promised antidotes, but Goro's reaction makes him pause]

Would you like help with the meal?

Sunday, dining room

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[...Ah.

He's not surprised to see this as he walks down - but he still reaches out, giving Akechi a gentle touch to the shoulder to see if that wakes him.]

...Goro. You shouldn't sleep here, you know.

alcohol cw in second prompt

[prayerwheel]

1.
[ So, after the game lets out Azura is going to go about her rounds of checking up on anyone who got sick. She can't really cure stomachaches, but she's got moral support and a soothing voice, so that has to count for something. ]

Pardon. How are you holding up?

[ Hell, she'll even check in with people who didn't get sick but look like they're having a rough time regardless. ]

2.
[ Later in the evening, Azura's in the garden...having a drink? She's not a drinker, really, only in party situations. And this isn't a party. But she's drinking a single glass of something fancy-looking. The look on her face is of the "I have to do something and I'm not looking forward to it" variety, so that's. Probably why.

If she sees anyone, she raises a hand in greeting. ]

Good evening. What can I do for you?

[ if there's anything you wanna poke her about, now's the time ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[...And here she was thinking of having a little cry. Well, this is probably fine, too.]

I was just... wondering how you're doing.

[houndumb]

I. Afterparty Appetite Blues vs. Marker Mortification

[Nora comes shuffling into the afterparty totally late but just in time for there to still be food, because of course he does -- there's no point at any time of his life where he hasn't immediately followed the scent of food when he woke up somehow, no matter where he wakes up nor in what condition.

That's probably why he still has some truly spectacular face graffiti that he's utterly failed to notice in the half-asleep motion between bed and outside and sustenance. (How did he even get to bed. Fushigi mystery.)

Someone should probably give him a little bit of a heads-up on that. Or laugh, you know you want to.

And later, once the face scribble situation has been sorted (hopefully without bloodshed nor frogshed nor any other disaster, but we make no guarantees here at this point), he'll just be skulking around all the food and picking at it, but it seems that even though the poison doesn't have him down for the count it's still done a number on his appetite at this point because Nora is just going to stare at the food for once and grumble to himself.]

II. Rooftop Reflection (Warning: May Involve Thinking)

[Much, much later, Orange Room is quiet for once around bedtime -- possibly because Nora got his fill of sleep in the middle of the game, all things considered, possibly because food coma from eating late hasn't hit yet, even though usually he could sleep with the house on fire and an earthquake and a flood happening at the exact same time. Whatever.

In actuality, Nora's popped out onto his usual first floor roof perching spot at a more unusual hour, sitting and staring down at something in his lap with an oddly intent look. Further examination will reveal a glint of metal -- it's the double-tipped spear that's been seen with him at certain times over the past couple of weeks, propped on his lap.

He's muttering a little to himself now and then.]

roofin it up!?

[merirut]

[Frankly he is probably the worst person to approach Nora while he's deep in thought, but it's more coincidence than anything else. The roof is becoming a popular place to hang out as the weeks go on, after all.]

...I would have thought that you would be downstairs and gorging yourself.

[scarsnstripes]

Food

[Akira had done Atsushi the great kindness of healing him from the poisoning, so now instead of spending the night sick as a dog, he'll come down to the party after showering to get... quite a bit of food. Some Yakisoba and Gyudon, a sandwich, some of that bottled iced tea he likes. He's hungry after all of that, and so he's happy to dig in, stuffing his face with gusto.

Maybe the poisoning had taken a bit out of him, for him to be so ravenous. He still has time to talk though, if anyone wants to.]

Pool

[It's dark out now, but Atsushi can be found at the poolside-- not swimming, but simply soaking his feet in the cool water, staring at the reflection of the crescent moon on it's surface as he breathes in the night air.

This week has been A Lot. Has it really only been two weeks since this began?]

Sunday

[On Sunday, he seems to have perked up! Sure, yesterday sucked and he certainly didn't sleep well, but because of that he's up early this morning making pancakes for breakfast. Something sweet and filling would be a good way to start the day, right?

Later, he'll be at the pool again, but today he'll actually be swimming, clad in a t-shirt and swim shorts-- first just lazy laps through the pool, and then later relaxing in the hottub for awhile. He'd always found water relaxing, and he needed that today.

He breathes out a sigh into the steam, tension leaving his muscles bit by bit. Join him? Surprise him?]

food

[prayerwheel]

[ ah, right, Atsushi was even more of a food black hole than she was. she almost forgot about that. Azura takes her plate over to where he's sitting and raises her eyebrows, looking amused. ]

...I see you're feeling mostly better.

[dereban]

[ It's been a longass week, and it shows in the exhaustion in Inaba's eyes in spite of her not really reacting to any of the deaths in the last couple of days. She didn't really react much to Azula's death, and the other two deaths didn't make her even flinch.

It was still cruel and sad, but...

She can't help but think of certain words that she's staring at on the poolside on her phone-- not swimming but just idly sitting around.

If someone pays close attention they'll be able to read part of the conversation in text:

"That's. . . good, I guess?

I don't really know, though. Kind of hard to tell how I'm feeling in a situation like this right now. But honestly, I'm feeling a lot better than I expected I'd feel about this."

"It might be shock. You know...that it hasn't sunk in yet. Plus...you didn't really know him that well, did you? It makes it a little easier, then." ]

It's not the same as last time anymore, you know. I bet you aren't watching, but I kind of wish you were. . . I kind of wish you were with him, to make him feel less lonely. I'm probably just constantly hurting him with what I've been doing lately.

[ She sighs a little heavily as she speaks those words to herself, wondering if she's worse off now than she was before.

People might notice that she actually isn't eating at all, if anything, even if she probably should, not to mention that she has bags under her eyes as if she hasn't been sleeping well. Which she hasn't.

But she is, however, partaking in the coffee. Maybe too much coffee? ]

[merirut]

[Ah yes. Coffee, the drink of champions or insomniacs. Unfortunately, he's the absolute worst person to have around if the goal is to dissuade her from this habit, but he'll act as some meager company. Also, he figures he should say something about that whole thing at the end of that last game because whoopsie but also not really.

So here he is, with a mug of his own in hand.]

...Why did you choose that chalice, of all things?

Sunday, pool

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Moriarty quickly slips away for a while, and no one seems to be able to find him...

Until the sound of struggling and a certain someone Yelling can easily be heard.]

LET GO!

Hm? I'm sorry, I can't seem to hear you! Speak up, would you?

[It's...Moriarty. Who's carrying Dazai slung over his shoulder, a large grin on his face even as the other man flails and thrashes, heading towards the backyard. Dazai, for the record, is clearly trying to break free, but the effect is a lot like a fussy toddler trying to get out of his father's grasp - utterly ineffectual and honestly funny to watch.

As they exit into the back yard, Dazai finally yelps-]

Let me down!!

Very well!

[And in that moment -

He knew he had fucked up.

Why?

Because the criminal mastermind just fucking flings dazai in the pool, laughing triumphantly and loudly.

REVENGE: COMPLETED.]

[darkremnants]

[ Laughing. Sorry babe. ]

Sunday Fun day

[darkremnants]

[ Sometime around noon, Vanitas will be making an appearance again. Feel free to pass him by as he goes upstairs to get ready.

Later, he can be found in his team t-shirt, and weird... baubles in his hair? It looks home made and definitely Nora's handiwork. He can be around the house or outside wearing them.

In the kitchen, he can be found eating a whole thing of pie. It counts for a meal, right? ]

in the kitchen

[iblistriggered]

[Silver is also in the kitchen, collecting supplies for his movie night. Popcorn, soda, candy...]

Vaaaa-niii-tasss! ... Are you eating pie for lunch?

Sunday Extreme Regrets Life

[houndumb]

[Welp, sometime later in the day (say around the time after Moriarty manages to yeet our dear Doezai into the pool, because there is no way Nora is going out into even semi-public gatherings at this point), you may be able to spot Nora slinking out of Blue Room looking distinctly shifty.

He won't stop for anything, though, so you'll have to wait to catch him later on in the evening--

And it'll be worth(???!) the wait, since he'll be stomping through the place in a half-zipped maid outfit (the poor outfit does not fit him and it's a mess and definitely trying to fall off right now), brandishing a broom and looking like a thundercloud and a half. He's trying not to give anyone the time of day or indeed cross paths with anyone but it's a small house. Eventually he gives up and just glares daggers.]

Where the hell is that stupid shady asshole-- Hey! You! Did you see Vanitas anywhere!!

[The way he raises the broom and the gleam in his eyes when he says that doesn't bode well......]

[darkremnants]

[ doo de doo
