[After everything is said and done, food is cooked and notes are passed out, Mephisto takes a moment to himself. He tucks himself into the supply closet, and rests his head about where Jonny's had been those few weeks prior. He brings his hand to his mouth and... lets out a small, muffled sound of frustration.
There are so few names left now. For the first time, or perhaps simply the first time he's bothered to acknowledge it, he feels something at least close to fear.
He leaves like nothing has happened, collecting Octokitten, RiRi 'Ribbit' Ozymandias Puck Jr, he's decided, and carries it back to the so-called party. His smiles are a little tight, sure, but he offers the cat out to whoever needs it, and a biscuit to whoever isn't eating.
Long after everyone has settled in, Mephisto lets himself come to rest in the lobby. He settles down across from the door and... waits. He doesn't know what he's looking for. Doesn't know what he expects. But he's determined to wait and watch for any threats. He'll do whatever he can to protet them.]
