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.]

[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...

[godspiousjasper]

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

[onychomance]

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

[godspiousjasper]

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

[exequte]

[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?

[onychomance]

That's correct.

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

Do you recognize it?

[exequte]

Yes. It's....

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

[onychomance]

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

[anakin and padme meme]

[exequte]

I guess that's what it's used for here.

[onychomance]

[THAT WAS A LONG PAUSE.....]

W-Well, I haven't noticed any other purposes for it.

At any rate, I believe your bracelet and Zack's are what's needed to verify. Is that all right?

[exequte]

[S-SURE WAS]

It... um....

I, uh...

Oh, gosh-

I... I don't think they put bombs in us, um, this time.

[But right! Purpose! So she nods and then reaches out and puts her hand against the scanner by the door.]

[onychomance]

[He almost forgot about that. Yikes.]

We've been here for weeks. I'd say that's impossible at this point.

[Kira watches her scan, then goes to help Zack]

[exequte]

I agree. Not unless they... replaced them every day or so. And I haven't noticed anything like that. There hasn't been anything I've noticed that might trigger them either.

[onychomance]

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

[godspiousjasper]

Alright. I'll be back shortly~!

[ Off he goes. ]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

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

[godspiousjasper]

[ 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?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Hm?



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

[godspiousjasper]

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. ]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Oh, of course.

[He does his best to carry the plant kitty and follows Roland. When he arrives-]

Hey there.

[onychomance]

We meet again. [Stray cat seems a little more active now that it's in the bright hallway. Kira holds his hands out for its flower pot]

If you could just verify at the scanner, please. [He's still gonna call it that even if Akane told him it's called a DEAD. That's so edgy...]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Sure, mate. How do I do that?

[Here you go, Kira. One plant kitty right here!]

[onychomance]

All you have to do is put your hand on it... Akane already verified, so after that, you just pull the lever for me.

[Since he is holding his cat now]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

All right then.

[He puts his hand on the scanner, and then pulls the lever.

What happens?]

[strangerpeople]

[The DEAD sinks into the doors with a schlorrrrrrp, and soon enough, the doors are opening, sinking into the walls. As this happens, there is a loud shuddering vibrating from far beneath them, beneath even the E Deck.


Congrats.

A Deck and the Engine Deck have been opened....

and can be explored when this next week's post opens!]
