"A Swing and Miss Doesn't Mean it's Game Over"

[Well… All of that sure happened. And while Maya is visibly shaken Sissi's literal dance with death, she’d meant what she’d said to the others -- she would protect them. At that moment, it meant voting and making the “right” decision. Now, though? It means ensuring that no one feels alone, and that everyone has a good meal in them.

She’s not Nana Daiba, however, she certainly can’t do this alone. But she does have the resourcefulness and authoritative disposition to to recruit allies. Discord is sure to be… mostly unbothered by everything that’s happened, and Spongebob will likely be eager to help. She approaches both men: one is asked nicely; The other is grabbed by the collar and dragged from whatever hole he’s locked himself in. Sorry Discord.

For Maya's part, several potato dishes are prepared (can you tell someone has a bias). And while she doesn’t have the resources to make baumkuchen, Maya does manage to produce a cake, as well as… muffins? They’re not… quite how she remembers Nana making them, but she can at least recall how hearty the food had felt, and how it had restored her energy on long days.

It’s a pleasant memory, even if it does make her a touch melancholy.

Nevertheless, the food is laid out in the kitchen, as are a number of pies that Maya has uncovered. She even tucks a few bottles of wine in a corner for the adults that might like it. This is in addition to the mead apparently brought by Salieri. Look she’s not a fan of having alcohol but… she can’t tell the adults no.

But hey, courtesy of Benjamin, there is even some cocoa. It doesn’t start off spiked but… you know. Thanks to Spongebob there are, well… Angry Patties? It’s fine. Even Discord managed to contribute some pies and tea, as well as being bossed around to do the grunt work in the kitchen. There’s also that inexplicable pizza? Huh, that’s weird.

Eventually the group goes around extending invitations to the dorms, knocking on doors and explaining what’s been set up. No one will be forced to go, just… strongly encouraged. Maya herself will even duck into the principal’s office and, if she’s there, invite Hester.

She seemed just as upset as the rest of them.]

[Frankly it's a good thing Discord didn't take the ice cream because that would give Spongebob less to get drunk on.

But Spongebob had intended to just... absorb himself into his work, but he can't help but notice Discord.

He gives him a small, sad smile as he's flipping patties.]


Hi Discord. It's really nice of you to help us out like this.

[Yeah he is completely convinced that Discord is doing this out of the goodness of his heart.]

[Discord almost immediately freezes up at being called nice. Of all possible things...]

Well, I was volunteered against my will, so.

[Maya has a sword and she will use it, he knows this.]

[That does not seem to stop Spongebob.]

That's the spirit.

[A pause.]

I didn't know you enjoyed cooking.

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-14 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I don't. Honestly, this might be the first time I've even done it in...

[.........give him a sec he's thinking]

...Oh, that's too many centuries ago, who can keep track?

Centuries? I didn’t know sea dragons [Pause.] or, whatever you are, live that long.

Much longer than that, actually--

[He pauses. Looking over.]

Sea dragon, really? Huh. I didn't see that one coming.

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-06-14 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that makes him curious.]

Really? What species did you think you were?
disharmonizes: (013)

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-14 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I hadn't thought about it yet, to be honest. But maybe several different sea creatures smooshed together? It would have been appropriate.

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-06-15 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Like a mix between a sea dragon, a seagull, and a lobster?

[He's just naming random marine life.]

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-15 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, something like that.

I'm usually more of a mix-and-match situation, anyway, unlike at the moment.
