"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.]

I've always wanted to go to a masquerade.

[the corner of his mouth quirks at that] They are quite the spectacle. And made significantly more interesting with the mystery of the masks.

We should put one on here. I'm sure we could find masks in the costume room, or at least something to make them with.

[Elle's light mood suddenly sours.]

Or would that be...too soon?

[Salieri quiets at that as well, going contemplative for a moment, before he admits:]

...on the contrary. I'm sure Madame Elisabeth and Monsieur Mumble would both think it quite fine if there was such a fun party as a masquerade thrown in their honor.

[A small smile returns to her face.]

Yeah. They would want us to keep our spirits up.

[he huffs a small chuckle at that]

Have a small area of the Costume Room or Scene Shop for mask making, perhaps? [he glances at her sidelong with a small smirk that's still sad around the edges but trying to be a bit positive] I can't say that I personally know how, but...

If we don't find bases, we can probably make some out of papier-mâché or something. [Elle likes planning. It helps her stop thinking about the past and look towards the future.]

That could be a nice group activity. And I'm certain we could put together costumes out of everything in the costume room.
