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.

[Zangetsu has acquired something edible, and he watches Mikami from the seats]

Seems like they're gone.

[ Zangetsu ranks fairly low on the list of people who Mikami wants to see, but at least there's someone else who is concerned about the apparitions. ]

This city may not be as uninhabited as we thought. Just what is living here...?
moonfang: (you got me)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-12 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[good thing he cares so much about what Mikami thinks of him]

We're definitely not alone here. Spirits, maybe? Considerin' the sensation they created...
inordertobelieve: (neutral: very focused)

I'd consider the option of them being window dressing made to make the situation more scary, but in that case... I doubt that she would have been able to resist drawing more attention to it.

[ Overdramatic horrid woman. ]
moonfang: (Is it all you want it to be?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-12 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
If it were something like that, they'd be in every dark corner, waiting under our beds or in our closets, hangin' over us like some sort of sword of Damocles... Nah, I got a theory about what they are.
inordertobelieve: (surprise: noticing)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-12 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Zangetsu of all people has a thought? Color Mikami surprised. Then again, if anyone knows about the disgusting and ghastly... ]

Do you mind sharing?
moonfang: (what's over there?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-12 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zangetsu thinking!! It's the end times]

I don't know much about how the "real world" works most of the time, but shouldn't abandoned places should have dust, weeds, mold, rotten food...? There were people here, and not too long before we arrived.
inordertobelieve: (neutral: very focused)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-13 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mikami nods at that. He's had a similar thought in the first week. ]

It is odd. Everything here is clean and seems well-used, but we haven't seen even a glimpse of an inhabitant. If they left, they left not too long ago. And if not.... hm.
moonfang: (hm?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-13 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I think those things might be the people. Or, what's left of 'em.
inordertobelieve: (stern: glasses removal)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-14 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
What do you suppose might have put them into this state?
moonfang: (and the crownless)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-14 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure about that part, yet. But I'm sure our "hosts" have something to do with it. What did they call us? "Survivors"?
inordertobelieve: (neutral: conversation)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-15 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
And our spectators are people who did not survive... We don't know enough to say one way or another, but it is a compelling theory.
moonfang: (hm?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-15 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
It'd make sense, then, why they'd want to come after us... it seemed like Rembrandt was barely holdin' em back. We lived... they didn't. I'd be mad as hell, too. [he grumbles] If I had my normal powers back, it'd be just as easy as me askin' them. Or at least holding one hostage. We'll have to get more creative, I guess.
inordertobelieve: (neutral: very focused)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-16 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be more than unwise to try and approach them before we have more information. Losing one of our number senselessly isn't really a mishap we can afford.

Some of our new powers might be more helpful than others, but we can't be sure of any offensive power in this current state.
moonfang: (what's over there?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-17 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yer right about that...

Hm.... ya know.... I wonder if we could trap one?
inordertobelieve: (surprise: noticing)

[personal profile] inordertobelieve 2020-01-17 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Do we have anything that is stable enough to hold it trapped? Our means of capture are limited... though wait-- I did see an offer for bear traps at the post office.
moonfang: (huh?!)

[personal profile] moonfang 2020-01-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
A bear trap? Ain't that a little... big? They don't seem to be much bigger than a small dog.
