the final afterparty

[incompletely]

[

That sure happened, but everyone, by some miracle, made it out alive. No one else died, nothing blew up, no arson was committed, we're all still here. And being here, being present despite everything that just happened, is really important. This is for everyone, McGillis and Yuri included (and Jack, if he wants to party from the dungeon), because they all need it. Even with the new revelations, nobody should be left behind.

The party takes place in the bar again, and it probably looks a little...odd? Because there's all the alcohol in the back, and then...there's a bunch of donuts on one of the tables. Two whole baskets of donuts from the bakery, provided by Tenn. Next to the baskets is tea provided by Koto. Have at it, everyone. ]

[scythegun]

[...Ah, you're having a real normal one today, huh.]

This isn't quite what I had in mind when I suggested you light something on fire, but it's a start, I suppose!

[............i'm sure alexei wanted to be greeted exactly like this, anyway hi how's it going, he's joining you.]

[ideismo]

[...That is Yeager. Hello, Yeager.

At least it gets him to stop fussing with the matches for a moment, though it takes him a bit longer to sort out that he should probably do something with his face.]

I'm fairly sure you were referring to the bar itself. Which, believe me, is getting more tempting by the day.

[scythegun]

It would make a very lovely inferno, wouldn't it? And since we do have better alcohol now, I don't mind losing all the sugary sweet ones!

[ideismo]

[......]

...If we get out of here alive, before we leave. I give you my word that I will set the bar on fire.

[scythegun]

[Speaking of things lighting up!!]

I can't believe you'll actually do something fun~ I'll be sure to look forward to it, then!

[ideismo]

All of you are clearly doing something horrid to my brain. I played that horrid party game again last night.

[scythegun]

You did, and you didn't even look like you were dying all the way through it! I'm truly impressed!

[He looks like he's trying so damn hard not to laugh, okay!!]

[ideismo]

As I said, I've clearly been spending too much time with the lot of you. I don't even drink anymore otherwise.

[scythegun]

We'll continue to force you to have fun against your will and someday you will enjoy it.

[This is a threat!!]

[ideismo]

Oh, I doubt that much.

[He had fun once, maybe? It was horrible.]

...Did you need something, incidentally? I don't...mind it, if not, but I'm curious.

[scythegun]

[Surely you won't die if you have fun once more!!]

Nothing in particular, no. I'm here because lighting things on fire makes for a good distraction, even if it is just matches.

[And after today, goddamn if he doesn't want to just shut his brain off for a little while.]

[ideismo]

[......]

Do you want to go try to burn something else?

[scythegun]

[immediately:] Yes.

[............]

You aren't going to humor me and accompany me just to make sure I don't accidentally set myself on fire, are you~?

[ideismo]

Of course I am. Come on.

[Let's go find something to set on fire, Yeager.]

[scythegun]

[Off we go, then!! Yeager's certainly in a good mood now that we're going to solve our problems with arson, because sometimes you gotta.]

I'll try very hard not to set myself on fire, just for you, then~

[ideismo]

Please do. That would just be embarrassing after everything that happened today.

[scythegun]

You know, I can never tell if your faith in me is just that low or if you actually enjoy playing along with me.

[ideismo]

On the one hand, that does seem an abysmally low amount of faith.

On the other, that implies I'm enjoying something. I don't have fun, remember.

[scythegun]

Oooh, good point, that is tricky... It does seem far more likely that you would have no faith in me whatsoever, ja. After all, I do always disappoint you!

[ideismo]

That's what I thought.

[...this is so dumb.]

[scythegun]

[Okay fine, that gets a laugh out of him!! But anyway, as we're heading back into the Cinderella area...]

So what would you like to set on fire tonight, hmm? Or am I doing the honors, because we're still pretending we're only out here because it's what I want to do?

[ideismo]

[Hm.]

I don't usually allow you to make the decisions. Are you really going to pass up the chance?

[scythegun]

[He knows he shouldn't have a reaction to that but that doesn't stop him from lighting up anyway, goddamn.]

In that case...

[Hmm!!]

We do have quite a few of these rather pointless mansions around, ja? I'm sure no one would miss it if we burned one down.

[i mean they might notice a goddamn fire but it'll be fine!!!!]

[ideismo]

[...He just sort of tips his head at that. Considering.]

Very well, then.

[Did we bring booze from the bar to use as an accelerant? I assume we did but.]

As long as it's a decent distance from anything important. I don't care to be shouted at for burning down the dorms.

[scythegun]

[Of course we did, he wanted to set something big on fire!!!]

That would be a bit annoying, wouldn't it? Well, don't worry, I think we can find a suitable one~

[C'mon, over this way, probably! Hope you're ready for the stupidity that comes next, Alexei!!]
