afterparty.... yay....

[mirrari]

So, how many people actually saw that coming ICly?

The movie theater has been Chosen, with alcohol and juice brought from the saloon, as well as a few of the easier to move bar games. There's no movies playing just yet, but there's comfy chairs and plenty of options for people who don't fancy being all on their lonesome right now.

Hey, Baldr- apologize?

[ Huh, that's not what she was expecting him to say. Shinobu looks at him and tilts her head, curious. ]

For what? You don't owe me anything like that.

[driftingknight]

For disregarding what little evidence we had and contributing to casting suspicion on the wrong person. If it hadn't been for Enkidu-san thinking to check everyone's feet...

[... would he have voted for Dongrang? Yeah, he would have, and he knows it.]

can't believe feet saved the day

[hyperbloom]

You don't need to apologize to me for that.

[ Dongrang probably needs to hear that more than she does, but she won't say that. ]

We were on a time crunch and forced to play their little game. It was a stressful situation for almost everyone.

[ Seems like Sora enjoyed himself just fine, though... ]

a mg sentence if ever i've read one...

[driftingknight]

[Oh, he's planning on apologizing to Dongrang as well, don't worry. This man is just a master of the Art of Guilt and Self-Hatred.]

I suppose. [...] I suppose it was also naive of me to have hoped that no one would attempt to grow a harvest, but... human nature is what it is, it seems. Here and in any other world.

LMAO...

[hyperbloom]

It's alright. You weren't the only one hoping for the best.

[ She sure was, and that entailed waiting it out and seeing if there was another way. But...alas. Human nature indeed. ]

Hang in there, and don't beat yourself up over it. This isn't real justice, even if what Sora did is deplorable.

[driftingknight]

It was, and yet I can't say that I don't understand how he felt. To want to see someone else again so much that you would be willing to do anything to make it happen...

[After all, isn't that exactly what he's doing back at home right now?]

cw gore mention

[hyperbloom]

[ As far as she knows, she doesn't have anyone like that. There's no one waiting for her back at home. She's just always done her own thing, despite feeling like that's not the case...

...oh well. Weird. ]

If you end up doing it, could you at least keep the corpse all put together?

help

[driftingknight]

[... that sure is an expression on Baldr's face right now and he can't even pretend he didn't have that coming. Well, he supposes he does sort of give off that impression with the eyepatch and all.]

I can assure you that I would be far more discreet in my murders should I choose to commit them. But at the moment, I think it a far better idea to search for a way to return home without unnecessary death.

[hyperbloom]

Don't worry, I was joking.

[ But that probably wasn't immediately obvious. Her delivery was far too deadpan..... ]

I'm in the same boat as you. We can find a way out, without needing more bloodshed.

[ "I know we can" is what she wants to follow it up with.

Truth is, she's not sure. Still, she'll continue to keep believing in the possibility. ]

[driftingknight]

[Shinobu, does this look like a man who has a sense of humor... he did once upon a time, but that was over two hundred years ago.]

Yes. There is always a way, it is merely a question of finding it. I don't believe this "harvest" is the only choice we have.

Or perhaps I should say that I refuse to believe it.

[After all, somewhere out there Woden still exists, and he still has Gjera Bifrost. If he could cross the distance to link their hearts once, surely he can do it again.]
