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

[idolpro]

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. ]

You should help baby-me whenever we get back. He needs it more.

[firstworldproblem]

I can help both of you, skilled as I am. I used to run nations, you know.

[ouji4board]

I mean, if you think it'd be okay! And if you think it wouldn't, I dunno. Overtax you?

Might be kinda nice to, y'know. Stay sober?

[firstworldproblem]

That is entirely up to you in the end, but at least I can help with the other parts.

Though delightedly enough, I will be able to make drinks whenever you desire. A perk of this place it seems.

[ouji4board]

And by sober I definitely absolutely meant off the hard drugs and not the booze!

[firstworldproblem]

Ha!

[He laughs and opens his arms up for a hug.]

[ouji4board]

[ oh good. tucking himself in against alex and burrowing in against him ]

You gonna miss this place?

[firstworldproblem]

I am. It has many good memories for me.

But I will miss the people more. I do hope they come to join us soon.

[ouji4board]

Are they all coming with?

[firstworldproblem]

Well, my wish is for them to be able to travel to our home stars, so they should eventually.

[ouji4board]

Oh, that's so good! Yay!

[firstworldproblem]

'Tis the most difficult part of the plan. The ability to gather. Hence, the wish.

But once we take care of the Commission, you can live the peaceful or rambunctious life you've always wanted.

[ouji4board]

Man, I don't even know what that'd mean.

[firstworldproblem]

No need to decide now. Something to explore later.

[ouji4board]

I guess we'll see how things work out when we get back first anyway...

[firstworldproblem]

Are you worried?

[ouji4board]

Can't help it.

[firstworldproblem]

That I can understand.

Are you ready to leave this place?

[ouji4board]

Kinda yes, kinda no. Judge me if you want, but leaving's kinda scary.

Did you remember more things?

[firstworldproblem]

There is yet a bit of a gaping hole.





... Why? Do you?

[ouji4board]

I--yes? I think so?

[firstworldproblem]

And just how long were you going to keep me in suspense? Go on.

[ouji4board]

Five was older than I am now by the time I died.

[firstworldproblem]

[He looks a little crestfallen to consider Five being alone and Klaus dying.]

Is he still there? In your timeline?

[ouji4board]

I don't know. How would I? I don't know why I stayed dead in Five's [waves at their 5] timeline.
