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.]

[ (you know if you're going by voice it could be hyoubu's ghost-- too soon?) ]

Well, I can't really argue with that.

[ 6+ hours in a trial following a murder investigation is objectively a long fucking day, yes.

Anyway, hearing who it is now, the comically long shower does suddenly make a lot more sense. ]


At least it all turned out well enough.

[ And now there are more towels to go around! ]

[ Mikami finally turns his own shower-head off, because it's easier to talk when the water isn't being noisy. He pulls his own towel down from the place he left it, slung over the door. ]

Thankfully. It was a farce of a trial, but it fulfilled its purpose. Barely.

We do have a good deal more information now than we did going into it. I'll be curious to see if it makes everyone more cautious or more desperate.

[ Toweling his hair dry... ]

On that note, everyone seemed pretty eager to see what would happen if you took the Lady up on her offer.

[ Himself included, but Mikami doesn't know that. ]

Oh, I am sure.

[ He sounds... very very unamused by this. If there was any topic that could have possibly made him more uncomfortable right now, he's not sure what it is, but he bites it down. It makes him feel disgusted too and disgust is a comfort zone. ]

We are stuck in a fairly boring place, the masses want their entertainment.
pr159: (spite and rage will age you girl)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-14 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Can you blame them?

[ He's pretty sure he can. ]

Really, though, I think it was just as much curiosity about the potential consequences. Any one of us could end up being accused of something we didn't do, after all, and if that should ever be the only way for one to clear his name... Well, it would be good to know in advance if it would be worth it.

[ Mikami can and will blame anyone for anything. ]

So it's just a matter of waiting on the first person willing to do it for altruist reasons instead of pure selfish necessity. I understand. It doesn't please me but it won't dissuade me either.
pr159: (i'd never be so unsubtle)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-15 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mikami's view of justice actually seems zealous enough that he's not convinced it would really qualify as altruistic, but sure. ]

That's good to hear.

[ If he's still willing to enable their selfishness even when he hates them, that seems like a win. So in that case, as a show of gratitude, he'll grant him his wish just this once.

By leaving. ]


Well, I won't force you to stand around in that stall forever.

[ Rideaux has the right idea about Mikami there, only Mikami himself has yet to catch up. ]

You really have a grudge against people who take long showers, don't you?

[ Just kind of sighing to mask the point that yes, he is indeed taking extra long with drying himself as well just to avoid being seen. It's a weird thing to admit. ]

Goodnight.
pr159: (straighten your tie)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-15 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't; he just thinks this is kind of funny. ]

Same to you.

[ aaand he's gone... be free, mikami ]
