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.]

They're like, the same thing. [Right? Right.]

[bayoublues]

N...no? What kinda alcohol have you been tryin'--

[oh wait she's probably a kid isn't she]

Actually, don't answer that question. Can you please get me some water?

[doopdoll]

[She watches him for a while, trying to decide if she's actually going to do what he asked her to do-- then sprints off, full force.

When she returns with the water it's half spilled, but she tried to be helpful, at least.]

Hey! Don't you need to be like...living in the water?

[bayoublues]

[Louis grabs the water and gulps it down. It doesn't completely get the awful, bitter vinegar taste out of his mouth, but it's better than nothing.]

T...Thanks. And, um, no, not really. I do like soakin' in the bathtub every so often, though. Helps moisturize and get the dirt outta my scales.

[Thank God this place has hot water.]

[doopdoll]

Really? I felt like alligators lived at the water part of the zoo. [She shrugs helplessly- he would know better than her.]

[bayoublues]

Well, yeah, if it's available, us gators love to just float around in the water. But a bathtub ain't really ideal for a big guy like me, y'know? Besides...you probably wouldn't want me to track water everywhere. Might slip and fall.

[Also people have scolded at him before for getting mud on the fancy carpet at Tiana's Palace.]

[doopdoll]

Too bad we don't have a swimming pool for you to use. [She sighs, deflating a little. It's a good idea!!!]

[bayoublues]

Oooh...a swimmin' pool would be real nice. I'd probably lay 'round in it all day, if I could! Of course, I'd have to find out what temperature the water's at...but, it should be fine!

[don't tell him about last round's pool]

Do you swim much? Um, can you swim, actually?

[doopdoll]

Yeah. My parents taught me. [She solemns a little at the mention- they weighed heavily on her mind all week- too heavily, in fact. It's hard to just stop thinking of them again, after all of that, curse or no curse.]

We went to water parks and stuff.

[bayoublues]

[too bad louis doesn't really pick up on that fact hahahah......]

Oh! That's pretty cool, that you got to spend time with your parents like that. What's a water park?

[is that, like, the everglades or something]

[doopdoll]

Yeah. I guess it was cool. They were bad people, but it was nice anyway.

They're these big parks with water slides and pools.

[bayoublues]

Oh!

[...oops?]

Oh. That's...um, pretty awful. I'm sorry to hear that! But water parks sound pretty cool. So they're amusement parks, but with water, or something? I ain't ever been to an amusement park, but I've heard all sorta cool stuff about them.

[doopdoll]

Exactly! And they have these big slides with inner tubes, and you can ride down them in the water! You have to go!

[bayoublues]

Oh, that sounds so much more interesting than lazin' around in the bayou all day.

[But sometimes lazing around is what a gator's gotta do.]

Any personal recommendations on where to go? I mean, I'm not exactly a travelin' sort of gator, but....

[It's sort of hard to book a train ticket for an alligator, especially since the alternative is sitting in a cage in the cargo for like five hours.]

[doopdoll]

Come to Malibu, I'll show you all the best places! And there's the beach!

[bayoublues]

Oooh! I've never been to Florida, before! If we get outta here, I promise, I'll try and visit sometime!

[there's the problem of the 100 year timeline difference, but one obstacle at a time.]

What kinda food they got in Malibu? Any different from New Orleans? Bet you don't have gumbo as good as we do.

[doopdoll]

[She's got time traveling connections, it's okay.]

The one in California, actually. We have all of the food. [ALL OF IT.]

[bayoublues]

Oh, I didn't know there was a Malibu in California! That's...that's probably confusing, sometimes, isn't it?

[the more you know]

All the food? Even jambalaya? Even...beignets???

[doopdoll]

I'm sure there's a restaurant somewhere there that has them. I mean it when I say everything.

[bayoublues]

Holy. Cow. Now this I have got to see.

You know Miss Squirrel Girl, right? D'you think if I said I was a mutant alligator, they'd let me eat at restaurants?
