imeeji_frontstage | graduation x3 + (...?) (cw blood, food, gore)

Who: Emet-Selch, Five & Klaus Hargreeves, BARiTONES, Taisho Roman Revolution, certain criminals
Where: Mitsukoshi Ginza
When: Day 512, afternoon

[ BARiTONES and Taisho Roman Revolution will find themselves receiving invitations via cell phone to visit the Mitsukoshi Ginza for a ~*~*special graduation*~*~! Once more the terrace of the 9th floor has been redecorated for the special lads, and the theme is red.

Red carpet, red ribbons, red tablecloth, red cushioned lounge chairs, red confetti, red flower hedges, red, red, red. Heck, there's even a fancy fountain river that runs through the whole terrace before pooling at a humble sized square pond and that's red, t—

Wait.

. . . Oh. That's. Blood.

That's blood.

. . .

T-the wine is red too, and there's plenty of it. The available mugs for fancy drip coffee are red. Red velvet cake. Red meat, cooked anddddd nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooot hhhhhhhhey some of these tables and chairs seem to be made of things that are red but not things that are wood or metal or normal table material. Hey. Heyyyyy. . . ?

W . . . who is this graduation for!? Who wanted this. Like it is a Hell graduation but also!? Also!?!!? Isn't this a little too Hell-like already!?!?!

Well. Well!!!! At least there are normal sections of terrace to hang out in. They're even elegant. Fancy drip coffee and wine, again, but also fancy donuts and other breakfast options too. Fancy!!

. . .

Also . . . ? There are coin-operated horse rides, except some of them aren't horses, some of them are birds. Red birds! Phoenixes? Honestly they look kind of shitty and the music that plays from them sound horribly dissonant but on the other hand they seem to work perfectly fine without coins. So there's your entertainment!!!

At the far end of the terrace is the usual carpet to graduation doors, along with a clearing where three microphones stand for anyone who would like to make a speech or do a monologue or a performance or something. The blood fountain river crosses through here so be. Be careful. ]

[ oh. This feels like a very Vergil aesthetic. But where is he? ]

Congratulations, all. I'll look forward to seeing you all again.

[Offering a glass of whine while sipping his own.]

You must be getting used to these events.

[ accepting it and holding it up for a toast. ]

Not on this scale. It's very red.

[ sipping her wine. ]

[Clinking glasses together.]

Quite. On that note would you mind holding my phone for me in case I need to fish my husband from the blood river?

Of course.

[ if it isn't locked, she will set alarms to remind him to eat. ]

[It is conspicuously not locked. He laughs as he watches.]

I really should do more to appreciate you.

[He's here! Being sour.]

Do find a way to blackmail them into coming back immediately.

I suppose I could come up with something. Quite honestly, I'm surprised you and Cosmo are not joining them.

Yes, so am I. I kept waiting to be given the offer too, but I guess that isn't going to happen.

It still might. There isn't any real rhyme or reason to how the production coordinates graduations.

Do I not get permission to invade your dreams? It beats writing a letter, does it not?

You are not an invader if you are a welcomed guest.

I will gladly need you in dreams until we can be reunited in person.

I do hope when you depart, you and Izanagi can go together.

We'll see how that goes. He mentioned that he will be returning to Narumi-san.

Are you not visiting before starting your own travels?

You probably won't have to wait too long.

You say that, but I've been here since the start of BARiTONES.

Unless you mean meeting in dreams, which your husband proposed.

Maybe they need to make sure someone will keep them in line.

But that is a good solution.

That wasn't what you had in mind?

I was thinking more about visiting when we have the chance.

[this is probably pointless because yvie is too powerful but hands are covering her eyes!!!

guess who!!1]

[ turns and gives them a hug. ]

Lily...

As expected. I can never get anything past you.

[Hugging Yvie back! Very tightly!]

I'm so glad you could join us!

[doki]

I wouldn't miss this for the world, Heaven, or the whole of Hell.
