finer food, but no music

[Well that was...unpleasant, to say the least. Two more deaths, but this time there's the matter of whatever's happening to Seteth as well.

Ignis is trying not to think about it, which means he's thinking about it a lot, which means he spends a few moments pacing and trying to figure out what to do. He thinks back to the party - for as much as you could call it that - that Olivert hosted, and, well... He's not sure how much morale can be boosted, but it's worth a shot, isn't it?

The decorations of the opera house are much simpler this time around, but the food is noticeably better, between the actual operational kitchen and the fact Ignis is much more skilled than Olivert. The food is well made and it even looks delicious from where it's set up, and there's a sign outside the opera house that reads:]


A not as grand feast, for all of us to enjoy.
Attendance is not mandatory, but it might be better than staying alone.

Catered by Ignis Scientia.


[At least there are less rose petals this time.]

Yes, yes, I know.

[ Look, outside of this trial, he's actually done a pretty good job of Not Starting Shit compared to those people, so spare him the "play nice" lecture. ]

Though given the results I think there's also something to be said for our little "good cop, bad cop" routine.

[ I mean. Look at that list. ]

[Interestingly enough, that comment draws a genuine smile out of Ango.]

Aaah, that. Odasaku and Dazai were fond of that one.

I suppose we could refine it into something to use. Maybe with enough practice, we could use it on the real targets here.
pr159: (because i gave it away)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh?

[ Huh, that is interesting. (Also he fucking hopes he's not the one being compared to Dazai here.) ]

That sounds like a plan to me.

[He absolutely fukken is, Odasaku was the good cop.]

We'll need someone to test it on. Preferably someone who won't stab us. Any ideas?
pr159: (or let me put this another way)

[ gdi ]

Hm.

[ Glancing at the list again... ]

What do you think of Erik? I haven't interacted with him very much, but my impression is that he's impulsive, but more in a stupid way than a drawing-a-knife way.

[ The fucking mail chute... ]

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-01-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[That mail chute tho.]

If we do, then I suspect I should 'come across' you two after you two are already speaking. If we walk up at the same time, he might not take the efforts as genuine.
pr159: (i left that part out)

Fair. Shall we hold off until whatever meeting ends up being scheduled for this week, since that seems to be a thing now? That would probably also be more subtle than approaching out of the blue, and then it makes sense for you to be there to overhear anyway.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-01-23 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds good to me. We can try this if nothing big comes up at the meeting.
