[Everyone - guests, Hearts who were in the zombie game, Hearts who weren't - is getting a nice cup of green tea placed in front of them.]

Here. Let me fuss over you for a bit.

[assblasted]

Hah? I don't need fussing. I'll take tea though.

[happydreamed]

It would make me feel better personally.

[also the tea smells delicious]

[assblasted]

[taking it]

What happened to you in that damn game?

[assblasted]

[BOMB HAD A GREAT TIME TBH. But will be looking out to make sure the others are all comfy]

If anyone needs shit let me know and I'll run out and get it.

[owlseeyouinhell]

Did you play?

[assblasted]

Who do you think I am? 'Course I played! We killed it!

[owlseeyouinhell]

Then sit down and I'll handle the food run.

[leaveofabsence]

Do you require anything?

[assblasted]

I need you guys to stop asking me for shit! I'm fuckin' fine!

[sangreine]

[ Knocking politely! And going to make every effort not to be a sad sack! ]

[ Aliza's here all the time so less a visitor than just here again (sorry boys). If she didn't arrive with Venti and/or Lupine then she hovers close if and when they get here -- they have a ritual. ]

[ She has some tea, but isn't eating anything. She also seems weirdly averse to forks?? ]

I guess I'm living on prepackaged food for a while. Or soup.

[happydreamed]

...Of all the issues that come from fighting with forks, that one I did not foresee.

[He was more concerned about them being bad as weapons??]

cw fork murder

[sangreine]

[ Yes they were also terrible weapons ]

I was okay with using them until the very end. [ Killing a rotting, undead version of one of your dearest friends isn't easy with any weapon, but that one made it particularly awful since it was just -- messy. Literally and figuratively ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Hey Alizarin. 'Sup? ]

Has the game spoiled your perception of food?

[sangreine]

[ GOOD NEWS she's way too sad to be nervous about this conversation ]

Hi, Zhongli. Welcome back.

[ As a gift, have a piece of the horror show! ] They made me fight with silverware, and I had to kill a friend with one, so...

[outofoffice]

[ Arriving with Aliza ]

I brought booze!

[ A beat ]

--Oh dear, is it all kids here now? I take it back.

[happydreamed]

Don't worry, I'll make sure Bomb doesn't get into it.

[he will be the no-fun dad if necessary.]

[outofoffice]

Oh, good. I'll leave all the responsibility in your hands.

[sangreine]

Very funny. Give me that.

[ She knows her way around, so going for the glasses. ]

I presume you're not checking IDs.

[outofoffice]

Yes. Understood.

[ Mechanically, immediately holds out the booze for her


THEN CRINGES AGAIN ]

Ugh-- anyway . . . no, what do I look like, a cop?

[assblasted]

[GLARES AT]

[outofoffice]

Hahaha, hello!

[ WAVES CHEERFULLY ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He comes in much later after Wild City has been situated and full of visitors and with a hall pass from his now incredibly paranoid SO.

And just... wanders around the dorm as one would roam around a city. Luckily some spaces are big enough that it can feel like just that. ]

[happydreamed]

Can I convince you to sit down long enough to have tea?

[leaveofabsence]

Of course. I would love some.
