Afterparty Buffet

[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.]

[Aaaand at some point it's that time again!

The watches, they be blinkin!]

[Hermes is likely the first one at the locked door.]

[We're going upstairs!

On the DEAD is a brown 5.]

Ah... How peculiar. How does this work?

[ He wasn't completely around for these things last time. ]

[Hermes scratches at one of his front legs.]

The first one had us combine certain people so that the sum is the digital root displayed and the second one added in some color mixing. This might also be color mixing.

[Following the others, Kira checks in on the group]

You may need all three colors for this if it's to become brown. Or perhaps just orange and azure...

Aah! So, Kira. Since you seem to know how this works. Do you know which of us would work for this one?

Assuming orange and azure, we could try it with Akane and Zack. 9 + 14 is 23, for a digital root of five...

Mm. Alright. Would you like me to go bring them here?

[She has been summoned! And is perhaps slightly more wobbling still given she has a headache but she is here!

Boy, this thing is familiar.]

This... is um... how we've opened the other new decks, right?

That's correct.

[And if he may be so bold to remember her double bracelet situation:]

Do you recognize it?

Yes. It's....

It was called a DEAD. It's short for Deactivation Device.

Ah... for deactivating the lock on the door, right?

Sure. I left Zack in the lab with Stray Cat. It will be a brief walk.

Alright. I'll be back shortly~!

[ Off he goes. ]

[someone might want to get Zack is that's the case]

[ Going to pop by the lab at this point. ]

Hey, Zack. Sorry to interrupt but would you be able to come with me for a moment?

Hm?

Sure, if I can bring the cat. I think Kira would be annoyed if I just abandoned him.

Oh, of course! Just... there's a door that requires certain people and their watches and Kira thinks yours may work.

[ A little wave to Stray Cat all the same. ]
