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.]

[Softly, with a lot of feeling:] I miss him.

[pinkflip]

[ A lump forms in her throat. She doesn't even know who he is, but the amount of grief in this kid is palpable. ] Hiro...

Do you want to tell me about him?

[He's quiet for a moment, but then he breathes out.]

My brother Tadashi is the reason I went to college. [He pulls something out of his pocket, a page of Baymaxes and a single drawing of Tadashi that's been labeled in Japanese.] He - he loved helping people, which is why he built Baymax. I think he was always trying to make the world a better place, and he worked so hard after our parents . . . But he's gone and . . .

[Hiro sniffles, wiping at his eyes. He's had a bad week, on top of his really bad year and it's finally catching up with him.]

[pinkflip]

[ Her hand rests on Hiro's arm. His brother. Older, it sounds like. And his parents... He's all alone? ]

Take your time, Hiro. It's okay. [ A pit forms in he stomach. ] ...It was the guy in the mask, wasn't it?

[upgradeit]

[Hiro nods, not quite ready to say anything.

He's not alone, not really, but oh god does it feel like Callaghan stole everything from him sometimes. He has his friends, he has Aunt Cass, but that's not Tadashi. That's not his brother.]

. . . Tadashi went into the fire because Callaghan was still in there. [He takes a wet, shuddering breath.] I told him not to, but he went anyway and - and he didn't come back out, but Callaghan did.

["Between you and me? I don't really like fire."]

[pinkflip]

[ ...His curse had to be something to do with that. Then the mask, everything to poke and poke...

It makes her blood boil. She wants to storm up to Facilier - or the Phantom, or whoever's running this thing now - and give them a piece of her mind. Hasn't this kid been through enough? ]

It sounds to me like your brother was a really amazing person. ...I'm so sorry, Hiro.

[upgradeit]

Yeah, he . . . Tadashi was great. [Rounds 1 and 2 probably disagree, but.] Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna wake up and he'll be there again.

[pinkflip]

...It's not the same thing? So far from the same thing, but...I felt the same way after my parents got divorced. Still do, sometimes. That everything's going to be just like it used to.

It's hard, to adjust to...any kind of change like that. Especially when you lose something.
