"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.]

[He continues doodling, but he looks the tiniest bit brighter seeing Salieri ask to sit next to him.]
no subject
May I ask what you are drawing?
no subject
... Normally, I guess.
no subject
You're...a yellow square, normally?
no subject
I’m a sponge, actually! It’s in my name after all.
no subject
Oh.]
....I...see. [...wait,,,]
Forgive me, I must ask...are sponges yellow and square where you come from? I'm used to them being more, ah...[and he lifts his hands, curling his fingers around an invisible sponge] circular. Or cylindrical.
no subject
[He laughs half heartedly at that.]
no subject
No, that does suddenly illuminate several things. Though I suppose that begs the question...do you parents share your last name?
no subject
[He sounds like that was a silly question to ask.]
no subject
[,,,,HELP]
You know what, never mind.
no subject
You know it's still weird that you guys don't see me as a sponge here. I've never really even met humans before arriving to this school.
[This might not be entirely correct but there are a lot of spongebob episodes.]
no subject
[...wait a moment]
So...the pineapple house you mentioned...?

[He says this with absolute seriousness.]
