Fine Food(?) and Music(???) Await You
[Well that was truly a heartbreaking matter, to say the least. But what follows will be important. If they crack now, there will be no telling what their future holds. So now, more than ever, it is important that they hold together.
Few seem prepared to rise to the occasion, so it is left to Olivert to prepare something truly spectacular.
As the room is prepared, he hums and serenades himself quite happily. It's a good amount of work but he doesn't seem to mind doing it himself, although he would never turn down a few extra hands if they wanted to assist.
The important thing is that the Opera House has been decorated with lights and tables and rose petals aplenty. Enough to brighten up their little gathering. Amongst the tables there is food, but considering at least some if not all of them were the prince's doing, perhaps a little caution may be in order. There is at least probably a fifty/fifty percent chance of it being an edible dish!
Outside there is a sign made up to draw their numbers in.]
Tonight, a Grand Feast, to be shared amongst friends.
Everyone is highly encouraged to attend, though it need not be mandatory.
In the darkest hours it is important for the brightest lights to shine.
If necessary, tonight that light shall be me.
Wonderful music and food will be provided, you only need bring yourself.
Prepared by Olivert Reise Arnor.
[Trust nothing about this.]

Oh my god.
You know, Cumore doesn't even know the person who decided this needed to happen but this is such a nobility move if he's ever seen one, hahaha holy shit.
He'll be there of course, because why wouldn't he be? He didn't really know Hyoubu either, after all, and while he doesn't hate the guy any he can't really say he's torn up about the guy dying, and in the end he'd gotten what he wanted out of the entire affair so you know what, fuck y'all he got his.
That said, this is, as noted, such a nobility move.]
My, and it didn't even seem to occur to anyone that this might be a little insensitive! I'm impressed with the initiative, at least.
[...listen he's just going to be like this tonight I'm sorry]

On the other hand, he's going to have words with Oli after this, probably. ]
...Yeah, I guess that's one way to put it.

[Someone else would be far better suited to creating memorials than this man. Leave him with the parties.]
However, I do worry about the effects that this ordeal has left on us as well. While there is little we can do for those we have lost, I hope that we can at least continue to support one another so that another tragedy like this does not occur.
[Maybe there is, perhaps, at least a small semblance of sanity in this man. He means well. He is just an absolute idiot.]

Later, when he catches whisper of the party, he at least wants to check out what's going on and.... wow.
He actually touches his forehead in a universally recognized gesture of exhaustion and despair. ]

[ Later yet, you can find him walking through the seating rows in the opera house, looking lost in thought. Just what entities were here during the trial...? ]

Things are going to work a little differently around here, if you hadn't figured that out yet. But I doubt you care - at least the one who went out had a prior record this time, correct?

Anyway. This person was in that other stall already before he came in here, and now that he's done and has his priest-bathrobe on -- even after all the time spent soaping his hair like a fucking animal -- he's still in there. ]
Are you just waiting for me to leave, or are you really that filthy?

But, he'll tolerate it, if only because it means he doesn't have to worry about food tonight. Anyway, if many of them are going to be gathering here, he does want to make an appearance.
Unfortunately those 50/50 food odds were not in his favor, and he ends up coughing over a really terrible combination of spices.
...Coughing kind of a lot and kind of violently, actually??? But it's fine. ]

Ango isn't present at first, though he can be found in his room. He seems to be busy writing something down there. Is it to clear his head? Maybe.
But when he shows up at the opera house later, he isn't nearly as distraught as some of the people here. In fact, he seems rather composed for having just voted someone to their death and seeing them brutally gunned down.
That said, he is totally being a wallflower and just quietly trying to find something edible. You'll need to approach him to get a conversation out of him.]

She doesn’t particularly feel much like eating, but she also knows she has to at least get something into her system. Eventually she’ll take a seat off to one side of the room. She can’t say that she’ll be great company, but she won’t turn anyone away.]

But on the other hand they just watched a man be executed and pinned to this very stage, so it's like. That happened. You can't pretend that didn't happen. Having a party in that very same space is a little...much.
Still, he's going to be there, instead of continuing to wallflower. After the things with the blue eyes he's come to realize it's quite possible there's safety in numbers, and there's probably no harm in getting to know his fellows better. (And also a part of him just wants to see what on earth this Grand Feast is, sue him.)
Sadly it doesn't...seem all that grand. He looks over the offerings, lips pressed together.]
I think the wonderful thing might be if we avoid food poisoning from this...

As for after the after party? Cleaning time! Now that's actually enjoyable for him, humming a little tune as he picks up plates or sweeps up the crushed flower petals. ]

The only threat here is the food. Pretty sure everyone is too tired to cause trouble- [ A beat as he looks at the party host and all everything here. Looking over at Rean who may have aged 100 years because of it. ] Well, more trouble.
