no one and nothing can break through

[Well! That sure did happen!

Bruno does not organize an afterparty. He's not a party organizer in general - that was Wu. But he knows he was completely useless, if not downright actively unhelpful, during that whole thing, and he already feels guilty enough. He has to be useful somehow. Otherwise, why's he even here? 

So, before everyone can leave the teleportation circle in the dining room and all go their own separate ways, Bruno mumbles something about making food and takes off for the kitchen. He'll be there for a couple of hours, whipping up some quick chicken sancocho, with Olive on rice duty. Azul can be in charge of actually grabbing people and bringing them in - god forbid Bruno do anything like that - but if anyone does happen to be there to take one, he'll make them up a bowl. Otherwise, he's just gonna leave it all warming on the stove. 

There's also some arroz con leche simmering for later, if anybody wants dessert! He'll put cinnamon in it, and then add some hot chocolate to the lineup as well. He's no Julieta, of course, but at least he's made something? It's not enough, but it's...something.]

[ Azul doesn't so much as wrangle everybody as just sending a little enchanted paper airplane out to let people know of the get together.

He sits at one of the Great Hall tables with a notebook, taking down notes and keeping to himself for the most part. He's not really ready to eat right now, but he does at least have some water.

Later on, you can find him wandering around the halls. He doesn't know what to do right now, but moving around beats sitting around. ]

great hall

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-03 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
...Thanks, Azul-san. You really helped.

[She picks at her soup.]
squidproquos: (don't be shy)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-04 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hm?

[ He looks up for a moment, brain catching up after a second and registering what was said. ]

Ah... Of course. It's the least I could do, after all.

[ Helping everyone find the murderer, that is. He didn't want to die just as much as anyone else there. ]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Troubled. (definitely feeling judged here)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-05 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
What do we even do now? Everyone's saying that this will keep going on.
squidproquos: (listen up; this is key)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-06 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Continue to try to find ways to fight back- there's got to be something we can do.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Lost in thought. (just world-changing decisions no big)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-06 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Fight back? I donn't know how we would, but we need to, huh... There must be something in here that'll tell us.
squidproquos: (well)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-07 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, our captor has been quite good in giving us as little information as possible. Right now, it's just a matter of trial and error- throwing darts on the wall and seeing what sticks, if you will.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Subdued. (well that sucks)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-07 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
But we're supposed to be learning, right? Maybe that might help.
squidproquos: (listen up; this is key)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-07 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly seems to be the theme, given we're in a supposed "school." Though I think it's more just for appearances' sake. But still, it shouldn't hurt to try.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Hopeful smile. (that's promising)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-08 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Since we've got all kinds of things to study or try out here, after all! And some of it might help us understand what he's thinking!

wandering;

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-03 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, today was a long day.

Felix himself decides to end up wandering, probably on his way to the training area once he's done hanging around in the Great Hall. When he spots Azul walking around in such a manner, he stops in his steps for a moment. ]


You're thinking about what just happened, aren't you?
squidproquos: (and here lately)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-04 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
It's pretty hard to think about anything else at the moment, wouldn't you say?

[ He stops, taking a breath and removing his glasses before pinching the bridge of his nose. ]

...I apologize. It's just a lot sinking in all at once.
replacementshield: (> Hm)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-05 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A little huff escapes him at that. ]

I can tell.

[ But Felix doesn't necessarily seem surprised. ]

If anything, that show just continued to prove how much of a deranged pig that man is.
squidproquos: (a witch.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-06 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

[ He pushes his glasses back up onto his face. ]

Still now we know what happens if someone doesn't get away with it. Perhaps that will scare those with ideas into thinking twice about it.

[ Though the motives may scare them back in the opposite direction. ]
replacementshield: (> Oh really?)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-06 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...That scene was enough to make me sick. Absolutely disgusting.

[ So yes he has seen some shit. But also, he's still disgusted by that. He hasn't quite been witness to ritualistic magic like it.

His expression is indicative of his displeasure nonetheless. ]


Fear can be a great deterrent. It can also be an excellent motivator, which I'm sure the pig will try to abuse. We'll need to look out for that.
squidproquos: (and made a switch)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-07 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. We can only hope to call his bluff, regarding those motives.

[ He really doesn't want to know what else The Alchemist has in store for them. ]
replacementshield: (> A cold evening)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-07 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Felix isn't keen on knowing that either. ]

Hopefully he'll try to go for something that is obviously impossible and outlandish. Though people can be idiotic, there's also only so much they'll believe.
squidproquos: (well)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-07 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly- he's bound to run out of ideas sooner or later.
replacementshield: (> The idiots are back at it again.)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-07 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph, I agree. It isn't as if he is a endless whirlpool of creativity.
