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. ]

... I'm glad you're still willing to give him a chance.

[And she does genuinely mean that, despite how torn she feels about him herself.]

I... wish you could have told him that in person. Without it standing in the way. [She sounds so bitter, and she hates it, feeling so angry over someone who died, someone she had loved.]

You're kids. Kids make mistakes. His just...happened to be a bigger one than most kids make.

[Or smaller? Nanotechnology? He lets out a breath.]

So do I. Instead, I just got so angry at everything, I- said something I shouldn't.

[The whole. Threatening thing.]

He made a mistake, and then he never let me forgive him for it.

[That's the part that really bothers her. She breathes out a sigh, hands bunching around the quilt on her bed, trying to figure out how she's supposed to feel.]

He probably wanted you to do that. He was so... determined to be hated. I think he thought he'd be happier that way than actually being happy.]

I don't think he'd forgiven himself.

[He makes a face at the idea of playing right in to the SQUIP's hands again- or Jeremy's? Either way. He lets out a break a moment later, trying to send his anger out with it.]

At least we know he's not alone.

I know he hadn't. But that doesn't mean he couldn't accept some of us forgiving him, I don't think.

[She's sure she sounds bitter, so she tries to distract herself from it by pulling out her binder.]

I'm glad he isn't. I'm going to write to the others too... maybe then they'll help him be better.
