"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.]

[Do Not Do This With Wild Raccoons Rina for the love of GOD
Ruddiger is okay though. He's a disney animal, and therefore is contractually obligated not to hurt anyone.
Varian will show her himself by reaching up to scratch between his ears, prompting Ruddiger to push his head into his hand.]
no subject
They're less like tanuki than I would have thought...
no subject
[He remarks as Rina pets Ruddiger, who is immediately leaning into those pets honestly the same way a cat would. One wonders if he's more wild than domestic, at this point.]
Ruddiger keeps me company when I'm working in my lab. Guess it's kindof unorthodox to have a raccoon as a friend, but...they come in all kinds, you know?
no subject
[ She nods as she keeps petting him. ]
Mm... yeah, I get what you mean. They're like humans that way...
...How'd you meet him?
no subject
[Which is. Hilarious to say given how FAT he is.]
I started to put food out for him, and he sort of never left after that.
I can't say I mind, though.
no subject
They say stray cats do that too. You don't pick them, they pick you.
no subject
[Varian chuckles, watching as Ruddiger mashes his face into Rina's hand with reckless abandon. PEEEETS.]
