"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.]

...It certainly is a tragedy. One that perhaps could've been avoided.
[If he had just listened to Mumble sooner...could he have changed his fate?]
no subject
[Sigh.]</small I have had enough of death.
no subject
I have, as well. The entire situation was enough of a tragedy, but to go so far as to make a mockery of it--[there's an angry edge to his voice as he cuts off, jaw clenching for a moment as he tries to get a hold of himself again]

Then we are to work harder. We must find his weakness and destroy The Wizard. That's the only way out of here.
no subject
And how do you propose we go about finding that weakness?
no subject
[Which is not his strong suit.]
A great artifact can grant the holy power to smite him. We can seek the source of his power. If we could find a book about this land, we might get something done.

Usually I would find out what I need through ancient texts or Ralathor. He's a hermit.
no subject
[WELL THOSE ARE CHOICES]
Unfortunately, I do not think we have much access to those things here.
no subject
Or Hestor, if she decides to betray The Wizard.
no subject
[he frowns slightly at the Hestor comment]
I...do not know if it is within her power to decide such a thing.

[That possibility is horrendous to imagine.]
How many of us does he plan to sacrifice?

[Yes, yes, they can do this.]
If we can establish contact with the other prisoners, we could stage an uprising.
no subject
How would we go about contacting them, do you think?
no subject

Ah, I see. [no, that makes so much sense actually. He sets down the knife and the apple, folding his arms over his chest to think]
Perhaps there's a way to contact them in the office....
