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.]

...

[Moana can't tell her she's wrong. But she hates seeing someone so kind have to doubt themselves like this.]

I can't blame you. But... you haven't done anything wrong, you know? In times like this we really need to stand together. You aren't carrying those feelings alone.

[notasingleword]

[Her lips quivers. It's hard...

She writes another note.]

"I would've stayed a mermaid if it meant someone could live."

[truecalling]

...I know. I would have stayed allergic to the water, too. Even if it meant giving up my dreams. I think a lot of us would. There's... there's a lot more to life than just those things. We could have found another way. I just... wish we could have all seen that.

[She regrets not doing more. She just... never thought it would end this way.]

But that's why we can't look away. We have to work together so another tragedy like that never happens.

[notasingleword]

[Oh geez.... water allergy? No wonder why Ariel didn't see her all week. Her problem was the opposite.

But she nods. Moana isn't wrong. It still hurts but... they needed to stick together now more than ever.]

[truecalling]

[Yeah it was honestly the worst. But... that had probably been the point.]

It's going to take some time, but-- we'll all be stronger the next time they try to mess with us. Right?

[notasingleword]

[Stronger...? She's not so sure. If anything she feels even more helpless now.

But... maybe she could try a little harder. So Ariel nods to try her best to confirm.]

[truecalling]

It's okay if you don't feel that way now. I don't think many of us do. But we'll find a way.

[She has to believe that.]

Oh. Did you eat anything?

[.......hopefully not the stuff that their "host" prepared...]

[notasingleword]

[Ariel nods. Yeah... she can at least try.

At the mention of food though her stomach rumbles. Nope she has not. The jello freaked her out honestly...]

[truecalling]

[Moana laughs. Yeah that's... no. Let's not.]

How... about we make something! What do you like?

[notasingleword]

[The only thing she's been eating since she arrived is sandwiches thanks to Soos. So...]

"I'm honestly open to anything."

[truecalling]

Alright. Let's get creative then.

[...looking back at the jello--]

...but not too creative.

[notasingleword]

[Ariel lets out a silent laugh. Right. She closes up her journal and takes the pages Moana smoothed out for her, tucking them back in.]

[truecalling]

[Moana smiles. She's glad she's keeping them.]

How about... some pasta? That sounds really good right now.

[notasingleword]

[Pasta? Never heard of it but that doesn't mean she can't try it. Ariel nods to confirm this.]
