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.]

We can try asking the group to get more ideas on the hows and whys, but if they come up with nothing then our only choice is to catch the Lady off-guard.

[ 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?

Perhaps, yes. I wonder if there is some way to get a straight answer out of her without having to play mind games... I doubt it, though.

[...

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.

Hard to tell, isn't it? Rembrandt is forthcoming enough, the Lady though... that's another story altogether.

[ 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.
baitless: he looks a bit tired, but less intensely so. (how vaguely and unhelpfully can i put it)

[personal profile] baitless 2020-01-24 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
...I feel like it would be a waste of my time and patience talking to her... but maybe I should attempt it at some point in case it's necessary.

[SIGH.........]

I think it'd almost bode worse for someone who was not invited, really.

You're gonna need all the luck in the world if you do. 'Course, I could always try instead.

[ 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.

baitless: an expression that can serve as either deep frustration or, perhaps, some level of grief. who can say. (i am so tired all of the time.)

...I should probably do it for myself one time or another, though I appreciate the offer.

...

[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.
bawcock: (♪ but i continue learning)

[ You and him both, buddy. On both fronts. ]

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.

[SIGH.....]

What... is the idea.

They're using the blue-eyes to stalk us.

[ this probs isnt it ]
baitless: bringing a hand up to his face thoughtfully. (chai... just means tea...)

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-13 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, that makes a fair amount of sense, actually...
