jello? jello anyone?

[negaverse]

[And so, later after that absolutely lovely end to the trial, the guests of the Murder Manor (tm) will find themselves with an invitation slipped under their doors. The handwriting is godawful but still legible, hopefully. They're not signed by anyone though. 

 

PARTY FOR THE DEAD GUY IN THE DINING ROOM

FOOD AND DRINK PROVIDED BY YOURS TRULY

Though, when you actually get there the food is.... definitely not anything you'd ever want to eat. There's chicken in jello, vegetables in jello, cake in jello. Like, nothing is free of jello.

Oh, and the drinks? Among them is a bowl labeled vodka, but it's definitely not vodka. It's actually straight up vinegar, but no one has to know that right? 

Last but not least is an absolutely lovely banner made out of a bed sheet hanging over the door that leads into the area that just says "FUCK YOU" in big letters.

Anyway, go wild. Have a awful great time.]

That-- That was because of what you did to me! I didn't mean it! He knows I didn't mean it! He... He knows that...

[keep it cool freddie]

[rech]

You're not even his daughter. There's a great wide universe out there, kiddo, and if you're hoping this is a story where "the power of family triumphs over all", I can assure you that you won't find your happy ending here.

After all, a family can't be a corpse and his apparent-biological-daughter from another timeline.

[faciliheir]

... What in the heck do you think I am? Some sappy Auradonian kid? I know exactly where this story ends up!

[stands. steps towards him.]

That doesn't mean I'm gonna let any version of my dad get pushed around by some stuffed shirt jerk!

[rech]

Your father is a severed head. He's much more likely to be kicked or thrown around, rather than pushed around.

[faciliheir]

Oh, you're funny! Real funny! Regular stand-up comedian over here!

[super cool. totally calm. totally great.]

See how funny you are with my foot--

[pinkflip]

[ hahaha no faster way to be dragged from despair than to stop someone from making a mistake-- ]

H-heyy, whoa there, Freddie, come on, you don't- you're worked up right now.

[ just get between freddie and the phantom it's fine ]

[faciliheir]

I am not worked up at all, I am completely fine and get out of my way I am handling this--

[JUST. RUNNING INTO HER BODY LIKE SHE CAN JUST FUCKIN FOOTBALL HER WAY THROUGH THIS.]

[pinkflip]

[ ALRIGHT, WELL, HERE WE GO THEN Kim's deceptively strong for a girl her size, she's just going to hold the dang line and try to wrap her arms around Freddie to bodily drag her away. ]

N- no, this is not handling--

[faciliheir]

[freddies like 70 pounds without her bangles its not hard]

-- Yeah, well, you better be glad you got heroes here to protect people like you, old man, or I'd, I'd rip your shadow right off your bones! Yeah, that's what I'd do! If I wasn't being held back!

[she's pretending that she's struggling but is actually not this looks cool right]

[pinkflip]

[ oh honey that looks absolutely cool it's fine....

Kim doesn't necessarily feel good about this, but like. ...They don't want to find out what this Phantom can do. ]

[faciliheir]

[and once we are far enough away from the spot where freddie's dignity died]

You can put me down now. I'm not gonna do anything stupid tonight. [she actually wishes this was a trick to escape and attack again but she's just. tired.]

[pinkflip]

[ so kim puts her down but ]

You shouldn't do anything stupid at all. We don't know what that guy's capable of, and I'd rather not we find out by- ...that way.

[ the fretting can't end just yet girl ]

[faciliheir]

I can't say I won't do anything stupid ever. I'm just saying I specifically won't be making necklaces from that guy's teeth, is all. I don't plan on dying.

[pinkflip]

[ um ew ]

Okay, way too vivid of a mental image but- fair. I- I know family makes things complicated, but...I'm glad to hear it.

[faciliheir]

Life is complicated. So's death. And the stuff between is just a big ol' mess.

[wry smile] Maybe it's not too bad, having you hero types around. [this means thanks]

[pinkflip]

I'm not-- [ one of those, anymore, but you know? she just swallows it down. ] ...You're welcome.

[faciliheir]

Yeah, I know your little bio-thing said you're a "former" whatever it is you were. But, you couldn't stop being a hero any more than Louis could stop being a gator. It's just how you people are.

[pinkflip]

W-well, it's- someone's gotta do something, stuck here...especially for all the kids, or...those who can't fight for themselves.

[ ... ]

I just proved your point, didn't I?

[faciliheir]

Better than I could've done myself.

[grins] It's not, you know, a bad thing or anything. Maybe a little annoying, but it'll be more useful here than any of my skills.

[pinkflip]

You say that, but you know, goading kinda worked a bit better than anything I did at that- um, whole thing back there.

...and that Gaston really needed to be brought down a peg or two, anyway.

[faciliheir]

Oh, he'll get his. Don't you worry about that. [THATS VAGUE] Fighting like that only helps when we're already at that point, y'know? You guys got a shot at stopping some of us from getting there in the first place.

[pinkflip]

[ UMMM REALLY VAGUE.... ]

Wouldn't've been there to begin with if the muscle-brain didn't reveal just how much he needs to go back to kindergarten. [ grumble grumble, what a jerk, etc. ] ...Maybe next time we'll actually keep it from getting that far.

[faciliheir]

Did you know he actually can't read? I mean, he doesn't care about it, but it's just fun to know that.

[pinkflip]

It figures! Jeez, the numbskull's probably going to just- break one of the stupid rules, because he doesn't even know what they are!

[faciliheir]

I'm hoping his inevitable execution is really embarrassing, myself. I didn't actually think I'd find him half this annoying, but here we are.
