Afterparty Buffet

[superstylishsquid]

[So, that trial sure happened, didn't it? And on nearly empty stomachs, no less. That's why people might catch Alastor headed for the kitchen as soon as they're out of the theater, obviously intent on making food. He's in there a while, actually, and the hallway outside of it smells strongly of some rather tasty food.

What he's up to will become clear when he goes around to tell people to visit the mess hall. There, he's set up a varied buffet on one of the tables, all of various foods easy to serve in small portions. This includes small slices of beef only very lightly seared on the outside, but also more fully cooked fare, and even a few fruit and vegetable dishes. Plus the requisite spread of alcohol, because it sure has been A Day, huh?

...Also, while Hermes obviously doesn't eat, he still gets the instructions to go to the mess hall. Huh.]

[Hubert returns Roland's blade after the execution, face stony as he walks away. He only stops to pick up Akane (and she's so small that even he doesn't have much issue) and take her to the infirmary.

Once she's cared for he makes his way to the mess hall and goes right for the booze.

... as the night goes on he does eat, he knows he will be chastised if he doesn't. But more than that... he gets deep into his cups. Deep, deep in them. Don't worry, he's a sullen drunk]

[jinglebros]

[ Aoi stops by eventually. ]

Pace yourself. Do you even drink all that much?

[pegasinister]

I do not.

[jinglebros]

That's it. We're sticking together tonight.

I gotta make sure you stay safe.

[pegasinister]

It WOULD be quite funny if someone took advantage after all of that.

[jinglebros]

I don't think that's very funny.

[ Aoi pushes him a little. ]

[pegasinister]

Oh? I find it hilarious.

...

Don't worry, I don't intent to do anything foolish. I have too much I need to accomplish.

[jinglebros]

The only person possibly taking advantage of you is me, and I'm not that crass when someone's drunk.

[pegasinister]

Ah. Unfortunate. Another time then.

[He's too Done to even have shame]

[jinglebros]

I'm not going to take advantage of your state.

[superstylishsquid]

[Alastor just...sits down next to him and puts a glass of water on the table. He has a plate of nearly raw beef himself, with a pouch of something red tucked under an arm.]

Here, wouldn't want a hangover.

[pegasinister]

[Hubert is also eating the red meat, and he nods at the water]

Thank you, Alastor. But if I don't get a hangover I have clearly not drank enough.

[superstylishsquid]

I get how you feel, I was the same way after last week's...

[After the trial, and losing Moriarty.]

But you had it rough with that last set of motives, right? Don't want you making yourself sicker.

[pegasinister]

It won't kill me.

[superstylishsquid]

You willing to take that risk, when we've seen Delta make things miserable for us if no one kills on their own?

[pegasinister]

...

[He grumbles. How dare you logic him while he's depressed]

[superstylishsquid]

Just take care of yourself, alright? We don't need any of the more...ruthless sorts here seeing an easy target.

[pegasinister]

I certainly can't appear any worse.

[Maybe Val's plan spooked him a little]

[superstylishsquid]

I wouldn't be so sure, though remembering to eat regularly miiiight help with that.

[exequte]

[She's limp as she's carried out of the theater, but eventually begins to stir as they get down to the infirmary. So that's. Probably a good sign?]

H-huh...?

[pegasinister]

Welcome back.

[exequte]

[It takes a moment to sort out a tangle of thoughts and recent memories.]

It's... over?

[pegasinister]

It is. We have a few injuries but nothing life threatening. Val is... gone.

cw: underage drinking I guess

[voidseeing]

... you can keep that knife. You looked like you knew what to do with it.

[Gai honestly doesn't look much better! Is that a glass of something decidedly alcoholic in his hand? Probably. Hey, wait, doesn't his profile say that he's 17? Yes, don't worry about it.

Much like Hubert, he looks like he really does not want to talk about what just went on.]

[pegasinister]

[he doesnt bat an eye at the drinking- but considering what kind of world he's from it's very possible that "drinking age" is a foreign concept to him]

Thank you. I will put it to good use.
