the zombies were having fun, the party had just begun

[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.]

None. An ability you're born with is something you'll have all your life.

[Oh. That makes him look solemn.] It must have caused his parents much worry, then.

...I don't think I've ever heard anything about his parents. We probably picked him up off the streets.

[Huh...so it seems to be a story of someone he actually knows, then.] What exactly was his ability? You still haven't said.

Dogra Magra. ...The ability to drive anyone who hurt him insane, causing them to attack anyone in sight, friend or foe.

[Q does not have a very nice ability.]

[He flinches. That must be painful.] Does the manner of the hurt matter?

As long as it's physical injury, it doesn't matter if it's only a tiny scrape.

[He flinches again.] And...was it managed, eventually? I know you said there's no removing it, but did you find ways to make it less terrible?

...The mafia decided that because of both his ability and his fragile state of mind, the user was too dangerous to have unsupervised and locked him up. He's about nine years old now, I think.

[Yumeno Kyusaku asked for literally none of this.]
