[Week 2 Afterparty] If only you'd have known me before the accident

[nothingbadeverhappensto]

That. All sure fucking happened. Didn't it?

Almost on autopilot, Leon starts pulling people aside who look like they might have it even slightly together right now and recruiting them to the task of making sure the rest don't just go straight to bed and pass out without eating all day. Anyone who doesn't seem to have it together but wants to lend a hand to stave off the grief and existential dread can help too. He's not picky at this point.

Without Yuri's tea or Otto's cooking things don't exactly turn out the same, but it's. It's something. Between all of them they get a meal together, something that can be easily picked up and squirreled away to the rooms if anyone really doesn't want to be around any of the rest of them right now, but Leon will insist that they have to come get it themselves as he goes around knocking on doors and shepherding people to the dining room. This is a check-in as much as it is dinner.

[ Anemone will not be left to brood in her own thoughts alone. Two friends are coming to join her!

... Those two friends being Zoe and the big furry potato people call Gulliver.

Anemone's pet is surprisingly heavy, Zoe realized as she's struggling to carry poor Gulliver, one tentacle wrapped around the creature's middle and the other trying to hold him up so he doesn't fall or rip any limbs off. Hopefully the little guy won't mind...? ]

[ Gulliver's content to be carried along! Even by tentacle hands. After spending a week rooming together, he's come to recognize Zoe as a Friend.

Anemone is slow to react to their presence, but when she sees them she does a double take and sits up from her slouch. ]

Zoe... and Gulliver, too?

[eldritchwaifu]

[ The regular pettings might have helped. This chonker is friend shaped after all. ]

Hi. [ Slowly gonna start lowering the creature down here. ] Gulliver had been cooped up in our room all day, and you're... Clearly hurting right now. So I thought you two needed to see each other ASAP.

[ Anemone hugs Gulliver to her chest, tightly and desperately, while Gulliver lets out a confused squeak at the sudden motion. ]

Zoe...I feel like I'm losing my mind.

[eldritchwaifu]

[ Zoe takes her spot next to Anemone, hugging her knees to her chest by letting her tentacle coil around her legs. ]

Uh... What makes you say that?

[ She can guess why, but she also isn't sure how to approach this conversation... ]

[madderbloom]

The house takes everyone. It's too much....I can't take it anymore.

[ Her head is a mess. She feels everything. She feels nothing. She wants to sing and dance out her frantic energy. She wants to curl up and sink into the floor. Can all of these things be true? ]
