darling, it's better down where it's wetter, take it from me
Your invitation under the door comes handwritten in varying calligraphic, but complimenting scripts:
Our remembrance takes place at the pool this evening.
Accensa domo proximi, tua quoque periclitatur.
Don’t antagonize the eels.
The ambient light around the aqua centerpiece of the water is golden, thanks to what appears to be small will-o-wisps hovering strategically placed on the outskirts. Don’t try to touch them - they burn. Inside the water, there are indeed a pair of dark blue eels swimming around... but they're at the deepest reaches, at least?
Reigning over it all is a makeshift banner, comprised of several notebook pages taped together. In a careful calligraphy script:
ACTA EST FABULA, PLAUDITE!
There are three tables.
The first is food. There is first and foremost a decadent spread of fresh and dried fruit, as well as raw vegetables by some dip. Some delectable varieties of bread have been provided by Belle and are accompanied by some jam and cheese. For those that don’t want to put anything together, there are also triangles of monte cristo sandwiches from Oswald's suggestions. There is a simple, folded piece of paper acting as placard. The same elegant inking is there, if much more subtle: Consummatum est.
The second is drinks, the division between alcoholic and non-alcoholic made by another folded paper placard: Bibere venenum in auro. The alcoholic section is a variety of cocktails, but particularly a copious amount of wine pilfered from the Tip Top bar. The non-alcoholic side is predictably soda, water, and juice. There are also a few pots of brewed tea from Belle - get them while they're hot!
The final table sports every swimsuit that coat check and the pool room had to offer, along with sunglasses ( for what? Why, style of course ). The placard reads: Fortunae naufragium.
It may be a bit more lavish than Ratigan’s party, but there is one key difference - it’s all self-serve.

Excuse you
Huh? No, not really. What's up?
you heard me
I'm just looking for someone to... talk to, I guess. Did you get a note from Thalia too?
He is innocent and so is his room
[He wishes she were here instead of a letter.]
Vote the room to execution
[Just sad. Very, very sad.]
I think Amanda was worrying about that too.
How do you even execute a whole room?
I think there's a way out of here. It can't be inescapable...I think there's just something we're missing. Something we haven't found yet.
...But I'm starting to think it's less of a question of how we're getting out as who's going to end up getting out.
Fire
I think there's a way out of here too. There's gotta be, and there's people out there trying to rescue us.
[If only he could hear from his side of the story...]
...I wish there was an easy answer to that. I've been thinking about it for a while.
Please don't burn his bedroom down
[Besides the idea that they both seem to share.]
No promises
I was thinking about trying something with the projector, in the movie room.
[He looks around, ears twitching slightly as he checks for noises.]
no subject
[That's not something he's considered too much. He messed around in there for a while a couple weeks back, but hasn't done much more than look for familiar movies.]
Hope you're not planning on taking it apart; apparently we're not supposed to dismantle anything.
no subject
[He rubs his neck, craning it a little.]
Back home, in the Wasteland, we traveled around through projector screens. Two of them set up in different places.
no subject
[Skepticism! But he's willing to hear Oswald out, as it's a new idea.]
Oh! You used them as teleportation gates?
[Are we gonna build a stargate?]
no subject
They each play a different cartoon, and you travel through that. It's second nature to Toons.
no subject
[Also should he close his door; he glances towards the hallway like he's expecting Rod to be standing outside eavesdropping.]
no subject
...I'm not sure. I already tried it with my cartoon but that didn't work. I wonder if it's even possible to try.
no subject
Hmm. I've never worked with teleportation. I know other people have, but no one's come up with a reliable or safe method of achieving it. But I don't think anyone's ever tried it your way, either.
[Real life doesn't work like cartoons, after all.]
We should take a look at the projector next time we're both in the room.
no subject
[Then again, a lot of people here are Toons.]
Yeah, we should. Maybe if we try, we can actually figure something out with it. Unless someone really doesn't want us to.
no subject
[That they are. At least it nicely explains why the animals can talk.]
LIke I said, dismantling won't work long-term. Virgil and I discovered that last week.
[With their pool barricade and their TV tower.]
no subject
I know. Taking something apart will just end with it being put back together again. That's why, if we wanted to do this, we'll have to be quick at it.
[Hrm...] If we can at all.
no subject
We'll have to do it in a day...or else stay awake and work through the night.
no subject
It wouldn't be the first time I've ever pulled an all-nighter. How about you?
no subject
Way too many times.
[Homework sucks. Worst part of school.]
no subject
Then we're already set.
