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.]

I've heard the term "blood ritual," but I didn't know they actually existed. But this must all be really specific instructions he's following.

[cakerights]

Have you spoken to him at all? Through the mirrors?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I have, a little. He hasn't really said anything helpful yet. Just what I shared with everyone.

[cakerights]

Hmph. Not surprising. I wonder if trying to do some reconnaissance myself would be a waste of time...

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Do you mean looking around for clues, like today?

[cakerights]

Mmm. Mostly talking directly to the Alchemist. But I'm not exactly... skilled in diplomacy.

It does take some learning. I had to study just to act like a proper lady, and Otoyakko-san -- um, Otojirou-san was a strict teacher.
