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.

[upon getting her letter from Talia, she runs into her room to read it in private. in her memory, she allows herself to be a child for once, and has a good long cry about the whole thing.

she does come to the party, though, dressing herself up in a red swimsuit and leaning over the edge of the pool, alternating between just watching and trying to tempt the eels with little pieces of sandwich. come be her friends water dogs.]

[Donald's... a little late getting back to the party, after receiving his letter from Thalia. It was obviously supposed to be a hopeful message, but it's hard to have any hope at all after what happened today so it... just kind of made him miserable.

But also that party setup looked Sweet so he obviously has to go back and hang out for at least a bit. And-- well, he really doesn't want to be anywhere near those eels (still creepy, thanks), but he has to ask... so he does approach Ursula, though he doesn't exactly get close to the water.]


Honestly? Impressed.

Did you do all of this? It's... really nice.

[And far more than he expected from her, but still. If anything's going to come close to properly honoring the dead, it's this.]
hallotween: (and now you're gone)

[personal profile] hallotween 2017-10-29 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! [oh shit they tal-- wait no of course they talk, she's more surprised by non-talking animals at this point.] My name's Marnie! What's your names?
darnsitall: Just let me go we'll meet again soon (Now we're torn torn torn apart)

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-29 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Sally is here, physically at least. She's sitting near the entrance, looking more solemn than anyone here has ever seen her. Even on Tuesday she was at least visibly upset. Now she's just... quiet and stone-faced.]
lusito: (let's be real)

[Joshua's... sort of here at the afterparty, but surprise, he actually doesn't touch the alcohol, and he sort of picks at his food before eventually just tossing pieces of it to the eels in the pool. They probably have more of an appetite than he does.

He's rather quiet as he reads the letter that Thalia left for him, until after enough re-reading, he calmly and carefully folds it into a perfect square. He then takes out a black candle he had received from the penny press some days ago and proceeds to light it from where he's sitting in the corner farthest from the pool so that he can try to burn this letter with it...]

There is a cackle, and three figures appear from a nearby door.]

Ugh, sisters, I never want to go near that wretched place again! Floating doors and eyeballs...bah! For being a "Twilight Zone", it offers very little twilight!

Um, I do believe we have company.

[Are you calling God a fucking virgin.]

... Well, this is a surprise. I don't suppose you would mind telling me who you three are, would you?

Silence, virgin! We are the Sanderson Sisters, and we certainly don't appreciate being brought back into this hovel. However, once we escape, we'll certainly be able to continue our conquest!

[Joshua raises an eyebrow at the "virgin" comment, but uh... Hi Sarah.]

Why thank you, you're certainly good-looking yourself. [Though, Joshua only hums a little as he considers--] And that depends, would agreeing to that mean that you'd be able to help me leave this place?

[josh no]

That depends...perhaps we can go back to mine.

[practically pressing herself up against him tbh]

[Joshua does absolutely nothing to reciprocate or stop her. He just continues smiling in his usual manner as he plays with his phone in one of his hands here.]

Oh? And where might that be, if you don't mind my asking?

Enough with your incessant flirting, Sarah!

[Sarah absolutely does not stop, still trying to get close to Josh despite the sea witch. Winifred raises an eyebrow.]

You seem like a more rational creature than this one here.
