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.]

It's a shadow card. If you use them, you can ask the shadows questions. Advice, what your future will be like, stuff like that... And then the cards show you. Pretty neat, huh?

[notasingleword]

[Oh. Magic stuff! She doesn't really know anything about that. She looks down at it then back at Freddie. What will she ask?]

[faciliheir]

[just. kinda. goes back to fiddling.]

I burned these, back home. You know what burning is, right? Fire and all that? Put 'em in my dorm room's fireplace.

[notasingleword]

[Ariel nods. She knows the idea of it? Just not the practice...

She writes a note:]

"Are you going to use it now?"

[faciliheir]

Dunno. Trying to decide if the price is worth it. I don't think things are that bad yet? But, they're gonna get worse, so...

[notasingleword]

[More writing:]

"What's the price?"

[Cause like...two people died so...]

[faciliheir]

Well, when it was for little things, it was just getting to see me lose everything-- getting kicks outta seeing me fail. For something big like this, it'd probably be my soul? Maybe more? Not really sure about this part.

[notasingleword]

[OH NO. NO NO NO.

Ariels slams her hands over the card. NO!]

[faciliheir]

Don't touch it! [NEARLY FALLS THE FUCK BACKWARDS TRYING TO KEEP IT FROM HER]

[notasingleword]

[NO NO NO NO MORE SOUL SELLING. GIVE HER THE CARD!![

[faciliheir]

You don't know what you're doing; you might hurt yourse-- [oh

hello again floor nice to see you again]

[notasingleword]

[Yup yes hello floor. Also Ariel on top of Freddie once again. She scrambles off without a card in hand. She just didn't want Freddie to sell her soul...]

[faciliheir]

It's not like I've gone ahead and done it or anything! It's just, y'know... We gotta keep all our options open, right? Even the not so great ones.

[notasingleword]

[She bites her lip. Right...

Ariel won't let Freddie go through it alone though.]

[faciliheir]

[aaaargh] Look, if I tell you I won't try any fell magics without giving you the chance to talk me out of it first, will you relax about my cards?

[notasingleword]

[Although she's pouting, she does nod in agreement.]

[faciliheir]

[well, that's probably the best she'll get.]

Don't worry too much about it. I know what I'm doing. [she says, lying] You know, I can't really use these ones for that, but I can tell futures in other, less... shadowy ways. Maybe I can do it for some of you guys one of these days.

[notasingleword]

[Ariel nods again, forcing a smile. It sounds nice. But only if it's safe...]
