Emergency Meeting

[They were finally let out of the court room but things were far from great. Instead of a gathering to mourn the dead-- what they really needed right now was a proper gathering to meet and discuss what happened. As soon as they got out, she yelled for everyone to meet in the food court. She hurried immediately to start some tea and coffee and prepare what she could. All of them probably needed a moment.]

Sorry to drag you all here after... all that. But... again... it's b-better if we stay together right now. And I think... an emergency meeting i-is in order.

If you want anything to eat I can... t-try. But in the meantime I started some tea and c-coffee... so... As long as we're together try-- to relax. We're... g-going to get through this.

Thank you very much, Touko-chan. [Yurika stands up and looks around.] Xander-san's strong, it looks like, but do we know if he's okay?

He... d-didn't look good. He was loosing a lot of blood...

I still have some food from earlier.

[Fruit and chocolate. Just what we need now.]

For now, everyone be careful and keep your wits about you.

[Prevent Order: Negates ailments once for 1 ally line for 3 turns.]

[HI Jane's here just. She's still hyperventilating and still holding her closed knife like it's a lifeline and looking at the door expecting something to come through any minute.

Might need to wait to tell everyone about Homestuck until this...is for sure over.]

[Ardyn had gone back to being very pale and very quiet; his sword was back on his belt, arms folded and stance rigid to hide any remaining tremor he might have held from either adrenaline or nerves.]

[Despite the rest of him, his face was impassive and calm; gold eyes focused on their surroundings as he stood off to the side like a sentry.]

He was in bad shape. Nevermind possible infection, if it lasts past Soma's death. Well, normally it would, that's how pathogens work, but I don't think this is going to obey any rules of infection we're likely to be familiar with, which, honestly, for once may actually manage to be a good thing-

[B r e a t h e, Doctor.]

Thank you for before, Ardyn-san.

If it's anything like-...

[. . .]

I don't think any infection is going to persist. But I can't be sure.

[ Yeah Clarith is just in the corner, shaking like a leaf. Listen, despite surviving a war, the closest she got to the front lines was being caught by some soldiers. She sure as fuck never saw battle and that kind of thing never happened. So she's definitely not okay, between Soma dying and that entire event. ]

...Don't thank me. At least, not yet.

...Is he gonna be a motherfucking vampire?

[Pyrrha's here, and keeping close to certain people like Jane and Clarith, standing on guard and only really leaving to make some more tea when it runs low.

She's... tensed up, in her whole body it seems. Ever so often she turns her head to watch the entrance to Fort's. She does that for a couple minutes before going back to whatever she was doing.

Ironically, she's not eating very much herself.]

[Besides doing what she can to chime in, she's also running around fussing on everyone-- making sure they're as close to okay as they're getting. It... helps. She'd rather not worry about herself right now. So if you need a drink, she's here for you. Or if you want to ask her for anything else well-- she put the offer out there so.

Later on though she's going to slow down and start to retreat a little. What happened to Soma-- the thing inside of him-- she has something like that too. One wrong move and she could be just like him. That monster could kill any of the people she cared about. For the first time she really feels the doubt starting to build. He talked a nice game about wanting to be friends and yet--

...her heart aches terribly for some reason, more than just what she understands.]

They've got blood bags for him, right? Would they just let something happen to an Overseer when they've got that rule?

[Everyone is shaken up and scared.

Nari is just restless. Irritated. Pacing away from the others, she probably won't stick around long. Nevermind getting her to sit long enough to eat.]
