and after the party it's the AFTER PARTY

[Tradition is Tradition.

Anne figures it's best to keep everyone busy in the aftermath of the trial, so she wrangles together a team of Mephisto, Santana, and Stephen to help her set up. Mephisto writes the notes and slides them under the door for Nana, Steven, and Christine, letting them know there's food and people in the dining room. The handwriting's not too great. Christine's note contains a 'P.S. If you don't feel up to it, I'll bring some food by later.' from Anne and a little doodle of Tad Cooper.


Thankfully, Anne has help setting up, so the weirdest of her food experiments don't make their way out of the kitchen. However, her platter of sandwiches does contain some interesting surprises--- you may find cheese and jelly, or peanut butter and chicken. There are normal things there too, though! And Biscuits, courtesy of Mephisto.

Their resident therapy dragon is on duty, too. Anne's made him a tiny crown for the event, and a regal little cape. He sits on a pillow in the middle of the dining room table, reigning proudly. ]

[At some point or another, there's a knock on the door.]

[We're just setting this before Meph so Steven doesn't get to see Stephen in his PJs

But that door is opened before too long, and Stephen looks...a little worse for the wear, but more composed than before, at least?]
holyspit: (unfortunate)

Hey.

[They're both in pretty rough shape, honestly.]

Did you- [Hm.] Are you all right?
37773972: (and i don't think i'll escape)

...as much as I can be, after all that. [He leans against the doorframe for a moment, then opens it, wordlessly inviting Steven in if he wants to. If not, that's fine; they can talk out here] It was...a little rough.
holyspit: (this might not be fine)

Yeah.

[Stupid SQUID being a big jerk, possibly stupid Jeremy being a big jerk enabler.]

...Did you mean it when you said you don't think the Phantom will change.
37773972: (and i don't think)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-02 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[...he lets out a breath.]

I'd like to think he could.

Do I think he will?...that's harder for me to believe.
holyspit: (the cake was not a lie but it's terrible)

I just don't get it! He says he's trying to- fix the world or whatever, but doesn't see a problem with any of this!

[How do you want to make the world better for everyone while hurting this many people?]

I really thought he would but- nothing seems to actually be getting through to him.
