So Satan is Gone | Week 2 Afterparty

[tasteslikesurvival]

[Well. That was a hell of a trial, wasn't it? About half an hour after everyone returned from the trial they'll receive a note under their door. (Plus Togami gets a new handwriting sample for his book.)]

This is Kurumi. I gathered up some stuff from the diner and kitchen to the Cafeteria. Come if you want. Thought we should be together.

[It's not much. Just a pot of tea, some coffee, and some of that delicious cherry pie from the diner. Get some before it runs out.]

Comments

[misplacedxsheath]

[Priority one: gather up Seth's stuff to burn. Margulis will just be setting it up in the kitchen for that purpose...starting with the paintings.]

[kingshaming]

[Xander meets him at the door, looking unhappy but resolute]

Did you find anything of note in there?

[ratherdoweddings]

Good riddance. What was his problem?

[voltrounds]

[He's not the only one going after the paintings. Ricky's gone straight to Angelica's, to take it for herself.]

[damnfourthemerald]

[Before Margulis can take any of them down, Shadow's taking time to study them in turn. He knew they'd come for the portraits. And he pulls his own down, grimacing.]

I suppose nobody's going to want these. Everyone seemed against them from the start...but you should ask first.

[almightyconflagration]

[Of course as he said during the trial McBurn will be glad to assist.]

I'm no member of the Septian Church, but you have my flames to aid in his sendoff to Gehenna.

[curdle]

Might he not have placed some curse upon them?

[ look it's Satan anything is possible! Thomasin is staring at her own portrait blankly, and her tone sounds matter of fact. ]

If any might contrive such poppetry, it would be he.

[overears]

[Don't mind her, she's pulling her own painting out of the pile.]

I'll take this.

[refusedtoleave]

Do you need any help with moving them?

[She can't set them on fire but she help get them ready for it.]

[imnotfat]

[Ah, yeah, those portraits. Togami arrives hopefully in time before anything is burned]

Wait.

[Togami goes straight to two portraits: Seth's and his own portrait. Togami searches in the baby carrier he's wearing underneath the bedsheet toga and takes out a small exacto knife obtained from the art room.

Without pleasure and behaving as if this was something that needed to be done, Togami slashes Seth's portrait forming a large X, from corner to corner, then proceeds to do the same with his own.

Why's he doing that? Well, Togami had told Seth he'd ruin the portrait if something happened to him. This is just fulfilling it. Togami is many things, but he's a man of his word and he's proud of it.

And his own portrait...feh, nobody else but him is deserving of the honor of damaging the portrait. Now that it's ruined, the remains of that portrait can be turned into ashes, for all he cares]

[yukionna]

[ Looks at her own painting, upper lip raised in distaste. ]

Fire's not even my element, but please do burn it.

[ please ]

[bylight]

[Oh look who is unhappy about seeing a certain painting.]

He painted another one of me?

[Can she burn it now?]

[yukionna]

[ Rukia is there pretty promptly. ]

If anyone actually wants a funeral service for Twiright, let me know. Otherwise, I'm not going to bother, as petty as it is.

[ suck it seth 8T ]

That said, how does everyone feel about Monday, for the others? [ Yurika? Bueller? Bueller? ]

[ratherdoweddings]

We can do that. Do you know what Angelica-san liked? I don't think she liked me very much.

[refusedtoleave]

[You're going to get a sigh for Natsuhi.]

...I was supposed to arrange Chitanda's offering yesterday.

[then murder happened]

[bylight]

Funeral service?

[Why would you hold one for those already dead when there's no body to take care of?]

[tasteslikesurvival]

[If you want to find Kurumi, she's not going to be bothering many people as she's sitting in the corner and just trying to eat her slice of pie quietly. God. That had been a trial. She didn't even like either of the people in it, either. Things were going to just go downhill from here, weren't they?]

[voltrounds]

[Ricky predictably sits next to her, quietly, with a slice of pie that she... just kind of stares at.]

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika sits there and mulls over the bag of chips she brought with a sigh.]

We seem to be safe from infection since he was vapourized, but this was hard on everyone. If anybody has any concerns, please bring them up.

[stitch_in_time]

If he was going to infect everyone, it probably would've already happened. Besides, if what he said about the disease was true, it seems like it only affected the very young, younger than anyone we've got on board.

[That said, he's gonna be watching everyone very closely over the next weeks just in case.]

[kingshaming]

[Xander doesn't eat, at least right away. He's more then content to sit off to the side and write, frantically, in his book. He doesn't look as upset as he was during the first trial but-

-he looks mad. At Seth, and himself. Who knows]

[tasteslikesurvival]

[Kurumi finally manages to decide that Ricky was fine for the moment and brings a cup of tea over to Xander. Placing it next to him she sits down.]

Anything interesting?

[almightyconflagration]

[McBurn will be assisting Margulis with burning Seth's belongings and can feel free to approach him then. Otherwise, he's going to get some food and he seems to be rather annoyed, again. His mood from earlier this week is definitely back.

But he's not going to outright approach anyone besides Margulis to assist with the disposal of Seth's belongings. At least not yet, maybe later once he's back to his normal detached and lazy state.]

[cyan_maid]

[Jane comes fairly promptly this time, though when she gets to the cafeteria, if it's still up, she'll be standing in front of her own creepy painting.]

...Ugh.

[She shakes her head. What is she even supposed to feel right now? Satisfied? Scared for her life? The fuck are feelings this time around. At least with Chitanda, her grief was overpowering and easy to understand. Someone get this girl away from the paintings and into some therapy burning of Twiright's shit.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Jane-chan... I think Margulis-san is going to burn them or something.

[voltrounds]

[Ricky's not at the "party" for long, and most of her time there is spent talking to Kurumi, but she does spend some time sitting in a corner poking at some pie.

If anyone feels any burning need to talk to her later, she'll eventually turn up in Angelica's room, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Ricky-chan?

[Yurika pokes her head into the room, holding a bag of chips.]

[stitch_in_time]

[Is sitting by the cafeteria windows and staring out into space going to become a habit after these trials? Maybe. This week, the Doctor's got a cup of coffee, and he's picking at a piece of pie.]

[Approach, y/n?]

[bylight]

[Approached he shall be.]

I doubt that thing survived those lasers.

[bylight]

[Unlike the last party, Lightning wasn't in a sour mood at all. She hadn't been that close to Angelica, and she had had a feeling that Seth was more than willing to kill despite his objections.

So she'll be sitting at one of the tables, just eating with quite a bit of gusto. She never did get a chance to eat that morning before the discovery and trial.]

[ratherdoweddings]

...It could be worse, right?
