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.]

[ 'course, he'll only say if Seteth wants to hear them. Pausing for a sec before taking a seat next to Seteth. He can stay, leaving wouldn't feel right anyway. ]
Since I'm already here, I might as well stick around for a while. Hope you don't mind having someone watch you eat.
no subject
[He feels like the guesses probably aren't pretty, but. You know.]
I assume you aren't hungry, then? But really, I don't mind at all.
no subject
The idea is, they can actually infect other people. If, say, the Lady took one of those guys and let it bite you... well, that might be why she put you under. She didn't want you to see how swarm around you.
[ Maybe because it was dangerous, maybe just cause. Who knows, really. He's assuming whatever she did was more direct than that but it's a possibility so here they are.
At the mention of food, he pauses. ]
Ah... No, I wouldn't exactly say that. It's more like I don't want to take more than my fair share. Not when I already ate earlier.
no subject
...
Fuck it, he might as well discuss it.]
I... wouldn't say it necessarily works the same way, but there are...
[...he tries to figure out how to phrase it.]
...relics in my world that are dangerous in the wrong hands. If used incorrectly, they can transform people into beasts. It all happens at once in those instances, but I can't help but wonder if this is just... a more gradual version.
[Ah... and he'll nod at that. he understands, actually.]
Understandable. As long as you ate already.
no subject
That's... quite the story, friend. I've witnesses witches turning people to ice, and even heard of tales where people became monsters but... relics, huh?
It could be the Lady has something like that. And if she does, the only way we'll know for sure is if we bust into her castle. [ Heist? Heist.
As for the last part, he's pretty glad Seteh understands. Even if, honestly, he kind of expected him to anyway. Nodding right back. ] You don't have to worry about that. I know I have to keep my strength up—heck, we all have to. And eating when I have to is just one part of that.
no subject
[...he REALLY doesn't want to get into it, but...]
...speaking of not making me worry, try not to do anything too reckless.
no subject
[ Mostly only choice. Ahem. When Seteth mentions being reckless, he starts tensing up. He does marginally relax a second later, though he doesn't meet Seteth's eyes. ]
What do you mean?
no subject
[...
HMMMMMMMMM]
...well, after what happened to Noelle and Mako, I am concerned. We need more information on how we can accomplish anything without ending up dead, you know.
no subject
[ Like, shrug?? To be fair he never spoke to her but she just has that whole "mystery mastermind, ain't gonna tell you a single thing" air about her. And, huh... okay, he does look over at that. ]
So that's what you meant. [ Hm. ] That was... a little different. If only because they were invited, not that it bodes well for anyone who isn't.
no subject
[SIGH.........]
I think it'd almost bode worse for someone who was not invited, really.
no subject
[ Poor Seteth. ]
Yeah, but only if she manages to catch them in the act. And if I'm the one breaking in, I don't plan on making myself all that easy to find.
no subject
...
[SIGH...]
We have no idea what surveillance techniques she’s employing, either. That should be the first thing we attempt to find out before deciding we are going to break in.
no subject
That's the rub, isn't it? [ Shrug. ] Too bad for us the only idea I've got is a total shot in the dark.
no subject
[SIGH.....]
What... is the idea.
no subject
[ this probs isnt it ]
