the zombies were having fun, the party had just begun

[tenimuho]

[Early on Thursday, everyone (not including Blaze, but including Price) receives a handwritten invitation slipped under their door.]

COSTUME PARTY + STORYTELLING
Today in the mess hall, 5:00 PM-whenever everyone gets tired
Please join us for costume judging and the chance to win a prize.
Refreshments will be provided.

[At the appointed time in the mess hall, there are some refreshments made by Noctis, Cheryl, and Oda - Oda's share includes curry, naturally, but also sandwiches and other light fare, and some chocolate chip cookies that have come out lumpy but edible. He's also put up some orange and black streamers in an attempt at party decorating.

One of the tables has a bunch of benefactor regains on it - that's definitely the prizes. Win a brand new car! Or a heckton of chocolate!

Storytelling will be later in the evening. Win prizes for that too, it's not like Oda can use most of his stuff. And maybe it'll keep people's minds off tomorrow, for a little while.]

Oh. Um, hi, there.

[...she approaches a little carefully, because the robots are kind of scary on account of all the murder that's happened.]

You, uh, here for the party?

[airlockedmods]

[The robot looks down at her, tilting its head almost curiously before holding out the plate to her. It honestly looks pretty good.]

[andneversaydie]

Oh.

Oh... that... looks pretty good? Um. Is that for me...?

[LIKE. SHE'D NORMALLY ASSUME YES, BUT WHAT THE FUCK?]

[airlockedmods]

[K-9 extends its arms out more, insisting she take it. Yes, it's for you, Mozu. There's even a little note on the edge of the plate.]

[andneversaydie]

...oh, well, okay.

[She'll take it with some unease, and then take a look at that note.]

[airlockedmods]

[Thanks for the quiche. Consider this my repayment: a Flavortown original. And instead of a signature it's a doodle of a robot hand giving a thumbs up.]

[andneversaydie]

................

[she squints.

she squints harder and looks it over.

...she turns over the note, pulls out a pen, and writes thanks????? on the back and hands it back to K-9.]
