[mingle, backdated to Wednesday] What always ends in bloodshed begins as just a game

[madgiganticfeelings]

[So that certainly was a little afternoon adventure, wasn't it? Those hanging around the ballroom might have noticed two absolutely drenched teen girls just... appear out of the floor, shivering and shell shocked. Christine, once they get on solid ground, pretty much falls to her knees to just... stare into space for a minute.

What is this week, honestly?

But as crazy as this all is, Christine knows they have to talk about this with everyone, as soon as possible. So once she helps Nana find some dry clothes and has a little destressing session with The Dads (TM), she's pinning up a note in the hallway.]

Time for another meeting! Nana and I will meet you all in the ballroom around 7. A lot happened these last few days that we need to discuss. Refreshments will be provided, but bring something if you like!

[Christine will be in the ballroom in her Juliet dress (sadly, her cloak is still in the dryer), holding her binder and a weird old flip phone. Hopefully, this goes at least a little more smoothly than past gatherings!]

((Feel free to make prompts before or during the meeting, depending on if you're unlucky enough to see the gals ascending from the trapdoor. I'll be making a few comments myself to cover all the conversation topics. Have fun!))

And with weapons.

[ going in unarmed sounds like a bad idea! ]

[holyspit]

Are there any weapons you know how to use?

[He didn't take you for the combat training type, Santana.]</smalli

[garbageface]

I'm from Lima Heights Adjacent, so. My fists. [ she takes out her trusty, stained steak knife that she now just keeps on her at all times, apparently ] And I'm getting comfortable with this.

[holyspit]

...Okay! Let's call that Plan B for now because that's kind of terrifying!

[Please do not accidentally stab yourself or someone else trying to attack the Phantom Santana.]

[mcfife]

We all have trombones and knives!

[holyspit]

...Do trombones mean something different in space, or do you mean the long slidey horns?

[mcfife]

They are still instruments.

Not as effective as hammers with smashing heads, but they do the job well.

[holyspit]

Maybe we should try to find something more effective at going back.

[He considers for a second.]

...he does seem to like music, though, maybe we could all just sing at him a lot and that would work?

[mcfife]

Singing alone isn't effective, Steven. [Sure, singing is involved in his battles, but they aren't the only thing he does.] The Phantom is not one to listen.

[holyspit]

...we could sing and fight at the same time?

[It's worked for the Gems a few times.]

[mcfife]

[He considers this with immense thought.]

Yes. That is a very reliable strategy.
