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.]

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.
