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.]

You do not need to thank me, it was nothing. Handling out of control monsters is something to which I am accustomed.

The compact had said he was a demon. I... did not have a clear understanding of what that meant. [Local man who missed Arc 1 boss due to not being alive shocked; appalled.] Is this something you have on Eos as well?

[encelevenemus]

Yes--well, somewhat. Ours are...different, but they are no less vile and deadly creatures focused solely on their bloodlust. They do not possess the capacity to speak or any such thing--they are naught but monsters.

[rikonstructed]

More similar to our monsters, then. There's too much I don't know about other worlds.

[Not that the outcome with Jasper could probably have been reasonably predicted. He shakes his head to brush that aside.]

...For now, I suppose rest should be our first priority.

[encelevenemus]

Perhaps so, but we have not the luxury of time in abundance. Rest may be a difficult resource to come by before long.
