we're gonna afterparty and you're GOING TO FUCKING LIKE IT

[presomnia]

[Tiki wanders into the great hall expecting company, expecting a full room just like before to abate her loneliness and what she finds instead is...Mahiro, chillin'.

And no one else.

Okay. Cool. Fine. She'll throw a goddamn party herself IF THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING, TRY HER.

So she drags one (1) rude teen into the kitchen despite protests that he can't cook, finds Eizen actively in the middle of cooking, and takes full advantage of the situation and also her own cute charm until curry for two turns into curry for twenty four.

Everyone will find notes slipped under their door, courtesy of Tiki's new gopher since he refuses to cook, the first part written in loose, loopy handwriting like an elementary schooler who hasn't quite gotten the hang of the cursive they've been taught:]

Let's meet in the Great Hall together in about an hour and have dinner again this time, so nobody has to be alone.

[aaand under that in a completely different set of handwriting:]

I don't know why we're doing this after someone died from getting poisoned through food but at least there won't be any fucking cake. Don't come if you don't want to.

[hm. well.

in the Great Hall, Tiki's hard at work setting up Eizen's mabo curry for the taking (and she's bullied him into making exactly one plate of non-spicy curry because she loves Hanyuu), and also hard at work into bullying Mahiro into helping her set up silverware and plates and beverages. It's not much, but it's here.]

Comments

[irrationalities]

[That gets a bit of an aside glance from him. It's probably only natural, considering her occupation and dislikes but it's still simultaneously normal and abnormal. He hasn't heard an adult speak like that in a while.]

Yeah. So don't read too much into it when it's something most people here would've done anyways.

[gyakusatsu]

I guess that's one thing to be thankful for.

[She pause, giving him a side glance.]

You're pretty strange though. Most would rather people assumed good things about them over the opposite.

[irrationalities]

I don't need people to get a false impression of me, and I'm not gonna pretend I care about things when I don't. Saves me and the other person the time and effort if all those pretenses are taken away.

[Blunt as usual, and he seems pretty sincere about it.]
