[Week 1 Afterparty] Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man

That all sure fucking happened, didn't it?

Again, Leon walks out of the crypt with blood on him that is not his, and it's absolutely no comfort that he didn't even get the worst of it this time. He spends longer than he means to washing it off in the bathroom sink, going over and over and over things in his mind, before gravitating towards the kitchen to see if Luis is looking to play host to another wake. When he doesn't find him, Leon decides he might as well try to put something together himself.

Thankfully for him and also everyone in attendance, he gets plenty of help. Otto, Garry, Yuri, Lortel, and Shauna all lend a hand in the kitchen, which leaves dragging the furniture from the library back into the sitting room to him. Before long they've got a spread of snacks and drinks - better than he would've probably done on his own, having planned to make something that could be eaten quickly to efficiently replenish energy after a whole day spent arguing as opposed to like. Something tasty.

Once it's all set up, he'll go scouting around the now considerably more sensibly laid out house, knocking on doors and telling people that dinner's ready in the sitting room. Once he's at least told everyone he could find, he'll be standing guard/being a wallflower in there. Second verse, same as the first.

[ FROWNS at her, but not like an angry frown. More uncertain and deeply flustered ]

You are wayyyyyy too nice to me. [ SIGH ] Okay, okay. Come with me.

[ She rises to accompany Pratibha, chattering along the way. It's not a happy day but she can at least be happy Pratibha accepted her invitation. ]

What do you like to eat? I never see you at the table. You hide away like a mouse.

... I like Korean food. And Indian. Uh, I'm guessing that's a little too specific. I'm fine with whatever, seriously.

[ glances at her. ]

I'm not, like, always hiding. You guys aren't the only ones who can get lost in the halls.

[personal profile] madderbloom 2025-05-14 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
So I'm not the only one who gets lost!

[ Aha. She feels validated! What a weird thing to feel triumphant about. ]

Those are Earth foods, right? A lot of people here are from Earth so they might have cooked up your favorite.

Oh hell no. This stupid place fucks with me as much as with you guys, if not more. Ugh.

Uh, yeah, they are. I ... guess I can take a look. Maybe if I'm lucky someone made, I dunno, at least some curry.
madderbloom: (a4)

[personal profile] madderbloom 2025-05-15 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. I thought you were special. I guess the house doesn't play favorites.

Oh, you should definitely try this! And this!

[ It's not curry, but have some baked treats scooped onto your plate. ]

I got lost in the halls for like eight hours not too long ago. Shit bites.

[ blinks rapidly, but just … lets her have at, if it makes her happy. ]

I’m gonna overdose on sugar.
madderbloom: (a2)

[personal profile] madderbloom 2025-05-16 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
There's no such thing!

[ Never heard of overdosing on sugar. Saying so, Anemone pops a tart into her mouth and ushers Pratibha onwards... past the salad selection and to the main course. ]

[ Pratibha bursts out laughing as Anemone just scoots right past the salads. ]

That seems very like you somehow, [ she chuckles, following along. ]

Times like these are when you have to indulge yourself the most.

[ Another odd bit of Anemone wisdom. When you're in a murder house and every meal could be your last, wouldn't you rather go to the grave eating what you like? ]

[personal profile] inlocked 2025-05-23 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I like salad, [ she grins, not otherwise protesting. ] What’re, uh, what’re some of your faves, Anemone?

[ has friend.exe installed correctly, is she doing this right ]
madderbloom: (a27)

[personal profile] madderbloom 2025-05-24 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Pratibha gets an incredulous look like Anemone can't believe anyone's favorite food is salad. ]

... That's back this way.

[ Given she had scooted right past the section, Anemone takes Pratibha's hand and leads her the opposite direction. ]

I like pies and those tarts with jam in it, and cake and pudding and muffins...

[personal profile] inlocked 2025-05-24 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ she didn’t say favorite! the incredulous look just makes her snort a laugh. ]

Right, of course. I forgot your favorite thing is literally just sugar. [ SHE’S TEASING! ]
madderbloom: (a26)

[personal profile] madderbloom 2025-05-24 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
I eat more than just sugar! Like pancakes [ with maple syrup ] and....[ looking around the spread desperately ] ...soup!

[ Pratibha laughs.

But doesn’t just laugh once, or quietly, or briefly. She bursts out with laughter and keeps going for a good few seconds, totally losing it.

What was the last time she’s laughed like this? ]


Pancakes and soup. The meal of champions. [ she’s DYING ]

What's wrong with that?

[ When Pratibha continues to laugh, Anemone's frown softens. She's never heard her laugh so unreservedly and she's glad Pratibha is having fun.

But at some point she has to put a pin in it. She gives her a friendly jab with her elbow. ]


Less laughing more eating.

Nothing—nothing’s wrong with it. [ she’s still chuckling, and grins when Anemone allows her. ]

Fine! Fine, let’s go sit down, jeez.
madderbloom: (a7)

[personal profile] madderbloom 2025-05-27 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I saved you a seat.

[ Next to her, of course. Anemone swipes some food off a charcuterie board for herself and back to the dining table they go. ]
