and after the party it's the AFTER PARTY

[likemypicture]

[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. ]

[ It’s pretty hard to surprise Santana, but this does it. She stares at the pinky, like she can’t believe it’s there. ]

Are you — pinky promising me? Like preteen girls at a sleepover?

[ You know what? This might as well happen. Santana holds out her right pinky and wraps it around Mephisto’s, sealing the deal. ]

You know if you break one of these, I make your social life a living hell for the rest of time, right?

[He huffs, just a little indignant. The finger remains extended though, even despite the stubborn furrow in his brow.]

Christine taught me. [As if that's somehow all the excuse he needs.]

I'll be sure to protect my circle of Anne and Stephen appropriately.
