when your thoughts turn sour make them sweet instead

[ That was...positively horrible? Ugh. After a few hours, notes are slipped under each person's door. They read, in a neat handwriting: ]

Banquet in Vanellope's honor in the dining room.

- Reyna, Sally and Thalia

[ You may not know what to expect when they say banquet, but it...really is one, isn't it? Thalia's main dish is cheeseburgers, so there are so many of those, but the table's positively covered in an arrangement of fruit and vegetables and all kinds of bread. Looks like they've gone all out.

What's really the cream of it all, though, are the desserts. Not a lot that's special, but there's a wide collection of cookies and cupcakes, and enough hot chocolate to feed an army. Maybe literally. There is a section that's particularly fancy, and that's the many candy apples, definitely courtesy of Sally. Along with a cute amount of peppermint bark. It seems like the food is unending, too, since there's the delicatible smell of baking cookies and simmering candy from the kitchen. Thalia and Sally are keeping you stocked, don't worry. ]

Somehow I doubt that our benevolent host wishes to clean up the resulting mess.

[lusito]

Indeed, though that does make for quite the mental image.

Perhaps we can get one of the undesirable people here to do it the next time we're in the machine.

I vote that the duck does it.

It's a shame that Preston is dead, otherwise we could have him do it. But, I suppose that our feathered acquaintance is a good substitution to vote for, too.

[... Sorry Donald, it's just that out of everyone else left, you're the only one that inspires the least amount of guilt in saying that.]

He deserved a much worse fate than getting sick aboard an elevator. The duck is just a nusiance.

[lusito]

He can be, but I still think our culprit deserved it in addition to his little execution today.

[Very few people get on Josh's "no seriously fuck you" radar and Preston sure did manage to get on there.]

[darthfanboy]

You have a point.

[lusito]

Don't I always?
