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. ]

[ Huaisang leads them to where the pieces are...

Welcome to the chocolate river. ]

I'm happy to help, and um...

It is, yes.

[ Luckily let us say that the pieces are in one spot of the river bunched together so that this doesn't turn into a chocolate scavenger hunt. Huaisang hands her immediately the smaller pieces that needed carrying and were already on his person. He points to the spot in particular too... sorry about this, god!! ]

You're making me blow up chocolate... this feels like a rather elaborate revenge act.

[ He's kidding, though, he's never liked the candy land and he's not about to start feeling sorry for it now. ]

This is going to be one messy explosion... Let's get everything together and then the two of you move back or you'll get a chocolate coating in the absolute best case scenario.

I do not have pleasant memories of this river, no...

[ So... maybe it is! She had to suffer a lot finding that so-called hidden treasure. All that not!corpse-touching she had to do was kind of traumatizing. Unbelievable.

In any case, she heads toward the spot pointed out, checking to make sure the bigger parts are indeed there before putting the smaller pieces with them. Then she heads back to the group, taking NHS by the arm and leading him farther back than necessary. Just in case. ]

One chocolate coating is enough for this lifetime, I think. Please be careful, my lords.

Well, it's not like anyone came to use it for anything...unless...? Actually, nevermind, I don't want to think about it.

[ Like thinking of someone licking or drink from it! He doesn't know how people live their lives here, and for daily business he's glad not to know. Do you know how many trials have revealed the multiple amount of people who don't wash their hands...

Anyways.

It's fairly easy for Yuri to lead the noodle away and further back from the soon-to-be explosion sight. Especially since he doesn't know how far back he should stand in the first place? ]

I think we're good where we're standing, then. I don't know much about causing explosions but hopefully we will avoid any sort of chocolate coatings or anything.

[ McGillis looks behind him at the two of them, just making sure for himself that yes, the two of them are definitely out of blast radius for a grenade. Not that the cherry he is holding in his hand is a grenade precisely, but... close enough. ]

Well then. Let's roll.

[ This is definitely the worst paramilitary operation he's ever taken part in! Absolutely awful! But what needs to be done needs to be done.

He'll pull the plug of the cherry bomb and toss it right into the designated part of the chocolate river. And then he's sprinting back because well,

explosions in a river of chocolate sure make some splash. That totally hits his hair, because fuck his life. ]

[faentasy]

[Exploding cherry time. They're certainly strong enough to blast these pieces away and molten chocolate fly in the air. Bam! That's a veritable shower of chocolate rising up in the air! Better take shelter -- except McGillis because fuck his life, says Luna.

The pieces of the gumball machine aren't made to withstand a grenade blast -- or a cherry bomb blast, that's for sure. Plastic and bits of metal get violently destroyed, fulfilling the intention of this all.

Meanwhile, far away in the fountain in the central district, the entrance Koto had seen widens up immediately, water flowing in. It's dark, it's murky, and -- most likely -- it's deadly, given if someone looks in there they won't see a ground or anything. The water of the fountain keeps flowing inside.

Looks like it'll be a while before the fountain is emptied. Until then? Probably don't jump in there]

Summing up the rest!!

[sempiternel]

[ Y I K E S someone please keep Koto away until there is a responsible and hopefully non-murderous adult there.

Before McGillis can be rid of his new brunet hairdo, they have to blow up the Gelateria, too. Just... in... case.... No other reason! They pass by the fountain on the way because that is how roads and directions work, so they can see the fruits of their labor - but again, JUST IN CASE.

Once they're at the Gelateria, they'll repeat the same process with McGillis pitching a cherry bomb at the place. Hopefully, he survives a chocolate mess rather than a chocolate-gelato mess. ]
