Afterparty I: Once Upon a Hotpot Dreary...

[heroicact]

[It's very likely that many want to be alone after all of that (and it was a lot, all of that altogether), but there's also merit in gathering together and rebuilding connections after everything that was upended in something as contentious as a trial in a tree. They even had to all slide down from the heights afterward, unfortunately for those with a fear of heights.

So what Jack sets about doing is simply passing on a message by word of mouth at the bottom of the absurd tree slide, tapping shoulders and nodding at those moving away as well, there will be food and drink and company later on in the lounge should it be needed. No one needs ballroom memories on top of everything else, yes?

And so anyone who comes out of their room will be hit by the wonderful smells of fresh bread and pastries, fragrant whiffs of hotpot (it's unfortunately left over from the other day, but it's hotpot so surely it's fine), the inescapable spices of curry and who knows what else has been thrown together in the moment. Jack certainly isn't the cook here, but he can heat things up in a pinch.

There are no signs or fanfare or decorations, unlike the other day; this is just a gathering place, for those who wish to shake off the weight of the days and lives on their shoulders.]

So you won't do it

[Hopeful...?]

[scythegun]

I won't. My wish is important, certainly, but not worth [vague gesture] all of this. I'm not killing anyone.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's good

[i hate that my character actually thinks yeager is not a lying liar who lies but here we are]

[scythegun]

[i am so sorry suga, you deserve better]

Ja, of course~ It isn't anything you're considering either, I'm guessing?

[gemuinemanagement]

No

I don't think Hamelin will grant our wishes
+ I don't know that he even can grant mine
+ If I die there'll be no one to protect my home
+ Murder is bad

[scythegun]

All very valid reasons! I hope we're able to get through this soon so that you can return home. Do you think that they'll be fine without you while you're here?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga's expression and the long pause probably answer well enough.]

It might be okay
Maybe

[scythegun]

[Oh, oof. Fair enough...]

Here's hoping we're able to get out of this mess quickly, then.

[gemuinemanagement]

The sooner we get out of here
The fewer people will die

[So it's a good idea to get out as quickly as possible.]

[scythegun]

Precisely. If we all put our heads together, we may be able to figure out some way out of this!

[gemuinemanagement]

[Thumbs up! They've got this... sort of. Maybe.]
