sorry for your loss

[cuteandinnocentpet]

[When people are returned to the main floor, they will find a trail of cupcakes from the elevator to the dining room. There is a table of drinks, pills, and cupcakes and cakes from the automat.

And on the table, in the center, is this asshole, with a party horn in its mouth. Despite that, it talks into everyone's mind.]

As you strangers tend to have a tradition of parties after an execution, I took the liberty. The plates and cups are over there.

[. . .

be merry I guess]

[Hiyori is actually here! In person! In suit!!

He is eating an actual cupcake with a bright smile on his face like he's chewing glass.]

Did you know we never actually got to experience one of these events on the plane? So deliciously morbid!!

[cuteandinnocentpet]

Ah, yes, so I am aware. Such a waste of melon bread, too.

[otherworldlyking]

...Surprised you actually came.

[ But not by much. Just a little.

This was a very strange party and he only came here out of a small curiosity upon seeing the trail. ]

pretend this wasn't sitting open and APPARENTLY NOT SENT AFTER ALL for the better part of a full day

[backuphero]

[Oh boy. Suits. They'd match, if Jonathan's weren't blue. Great. Just dandy.

There's probably a heart-shaped little bruise on his left palm, now. How the candy hasn't simply shattered is beyond his reckoning.

He feels sick, and angry, and useless. But he's nothing if he's not a teasing, showboating-prone brat. He makes sure to catch Hiyori's eye, and then, like Alucard with a peanut (but no green glow of restored health), he tosses the heart in the air, and catches it in his mouth. It'd be perfect if it didn't just feel like he was chewing up a piece of soft sandstone, but alas....]

Thanks for the answers about the food. One good thing happened tonight.

[carryabigstick]

[She wants to kick that ugly white thing that was responsible for not only Lala's, but Kurama's death too. But she doesn't really have the energy for it after that execution.]

...it's just me now. I let everyone else from my group die and...

[She's throwing a cupcake at high speeds, right for Kyuubey. It might not hit but. Maybe it will.

Either way won't make her feel better.

But she's gonna try to stick around.]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

[It just sidesteps.]

Let is hardly the word I would use, Estelle Bright, especially since it usually predicates on the assumption that you were aware that something was going to happen, and were in a position to prevent it.

Last I checked, your power doesn't allow you precognition.

[unwittingking]

[He was tempted to go back to his house and be pathetic and sad again, since it seems like he can't go through a trial without hurting someone...but maybe he can make up for it, just a little bit.]

It's not your fault. You couldn't've seen it coming. Either of them.

[otherworldlyking]

[ He'll watch her toss the cupcake, and then at some point, speak up. ]

"Let"? Their actions were their own.

Not like you could've kept them from dying, seeing as they went out and about when it was dangerous.

[relieable]

[Osomatsu is really shaken up. he wants to just skip this "party" entirely but. he's curious about the cupcakes. do they taste like sand? probably. but they look so good! he almost wants to try.

...almost. but he doesn't think he could handle another disappointment tonight.

so he just walks into the room, looks around, then grabs a drink and shuffles off to the nearest corner]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

[A Kyuubey is in the corner, nomming on a cupcake.]

[carryabigstick]

[After all of that-- Estelle feels like she has to find Osomatsu and check up on him. Not only because she reels responsible but... because he's been a pretty great guy to be around and she's worried about him.

So she'll join him in the corner.]

Hey... I'm... really sorry about earlier.

[katzenpfote]

[Caleb ignores the party entirely, heading out of the building and towards his house. He doesn't talk to anyone on the way, doesn't respond to any calls. He heads into his house adn closes the door, leaning back against it and slumping down.]

[Frumpkin stands gingerly on his legs, and he sighs.]

I really blew it, ja? I told them and now they will hate me. ... I suppose that's fair.

[He knows that Fortinbras will follow Arthur, so he doesn't have to worry about the dog, which is good. He sits there for a few long minutes, just staring at Frumpkin, before pulling himself up.]

Come. We have a few people to visit.

[But after that? House number 10 is where people will find Caleb. Hopefully he'll hear the door if someone comes to see him.]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

[Hi



guess who is in the house with a cupcake





this douche yup]

House 10

[unwittingking]

[I hope you weren't expecting to stay alone for long, Caleb, because pretty soon there's a knocking at your door. Shave and a haircut.

He'll wait to see if he'll open it, though.]

[carryabigstick]

Hey, Caleb! Wait up!

[Not so fast. She's going to do her best to catch up to him despite some injuries from after the execution slowing her down a bit.]

Hey-- Sorry for earlier. Because of me, things got pretty out of hand back there.

[Yes, she is taking responsibility for the amount of lives that were offered today. It was after she started things with Arthur it happened so... she feels like she owes it to the other people that stepped in after.]

[comesaround]

[ Oh on the way over, he had seen the cupcakes on the way and stepped on one harshly. He stepped into the room, saw what was going on with Kyuubey there before turning on his heel so he can head to his place.

That is if nobody stops him. People may note Karma's expression seems strangely void, right to his eyes that lack its usual spark.

He is extremely bad at letting people see how he's feeling and right now there is a lot on his mind. Maybe he shouldn't be alone right now. ]

[katzenpfote]

[Caleb, with Frumpkin in tow, heads over to Karma's house. He hesitates, before sighing and knocking firmly on Karma's door.]

It is Caleb. I am here to see you.

[relieable]

[maybe he should be left alone. but, at the same time, Osomatsu wants to talk to him. or at least offer some comfort to the kid, if he can.

he finishes off his drink and then crumples the cup, tosses it, then follows after Karma. Osomatsu waits until they are further down the street before he tries to talk to him]

Karma...!

[unwittingking]

[You're not getting out of this either, Karma. You'll hear Shave and a haircut on your door as well.]

Karma? It's King. I...I want to talk.

[carryabigstick]

Hey...

[She's a little injured yet, so she's not moving great-- which means she's going to have to catch him at his house. But it's not stopping her. She didn't help any back there and... he's suffering bad. Just like her, he's lost two people important to him one week after the other...]

It's Estelle. Can we talk...?

[unwittingking]

[Surprisingly, King stays at the party for the most part. He goes off on his own at first, having to grab the soda he got from Lala and trying to help some people, but he's actually here. Hard to say why.

He doesn't really drink from the opened can. Just looks at it sadly, thinking about other things. Thinking about the past.

If only things were different...]

[poorlovefool]

[It takes a long time for Eric to get it together, especially when an execution followed his flashback. But eventually he follows the trail of cupcakes, gingerly picking them up one by one until he has a big armful of them - mostly because if he doesn't, Gab and Spike might get some wise ideas about eating food that isn't good for them. At least he found something to do, but his skull gauze shirt is splotched all over in colorful frosting now, almost like he walked out of an abstract painting. Then they're going in the trash, and he sighs deeply after that and sits down in some corner of the dining room. He is going to have a drink. Who knows if Kyubey was knowledgeable to bring anything strong, but whatever is there, he's gulping it down without much thought.]

[mermaidkin]

[Wow, he seemed to not look at that thing's label, and he won't be able to tell by the taste, right? So Hiyori hovering by the refreshments table is a little concerned and chimes in.]

One bottle of that should be safe, we think.

[So, not more, maybe.]

[illusionarymelody]

[Vita is going to avoid the party for the most part. She's not interested in having fun with that terrible creature or their hosts. She's just going to try and find Arthur and Estelle and make sure they are all right. Then she'll go back home with Jonathan to house 12. She doesn't feel up for any celebrations, but in this universe it is still the day of their wedding and she just wants to spend some time alone with her husband after she's made sure that her friends are safe.]

[katzenpfote]

[Soon she'll hear a knock on the door.]

Vita? Are you available to talk? ... Not for long.

[incendiarize]

[He's just....hiding, away from the party. Near the barrier. "Coincidentally" right where he'd found Kurama passed out just a few days ago.

....you're gonna have to come find him if you want him, but at least he's find-able this week.]

[necroyalty]

[ Ambrosine doesn't bother with a cupcake.

She just...sort of sits in one corner of the dining room, with a few books from the library along with her spellbook, and sees if anyone else approaches.

If not, she can sometimes be seen staring blankly at the picture she got back from Akira before he died, tracing her fingers around each of the people in it. ]

[unwittingking]

[Ambrosine seems alright, but...always better to check than not, right? Especially when she’s got a photo like that...]

Can I ask who they are?
