This is fine. It's fine. We're fine.

[Well that was.

Something.

Underneath everyone’s door they’ll find a slip of paper, in shaky calligraphy, that reads:

INVITATION

Meet in the Dining Room.

Do not bring alcohol of any sort.

Upon arrival into the Dining Room it’s clear that this is very much...not a party.

The center of the room is cleared of all tables, and instead has all the chairs arranged in a circle, facing inwards. On the tables pushed to the side are jugs of water, cups, plates of saltines, and several hastily-made pamplets that read on the front ”How to cope with Child homicide” that contains an advisory list:

1. Try not to think about it.
2. Do not get hysterical.
3. Crying is permitted, but keep it within a reasonable volume. (For the consideration of fellow mourners)
4. Maintain civility
5. Do not plunder the belongings of the deceased.
6. No drinking or gambling your sorrows away. Set an example.

Standing in front of one of the chairs already is Mr.Arrow. He clears his throat as people start to slowly come in.]

I gathered you all here because I believed it would be conductive to group morale if we all worked through our feelings regarding recent events. Talk about your feelings with one another, but not with me.

[He steps back a little, out of the circle of chairs, in what seems to be an invitation for people to sit down and discuss with one another.]

Comments

[truecalling]

Hey, I know you guys can't so-- um. Do you want me to pass along a message? I... still have to talk to him anyway, so!

[She just had to offer. It hurts her thinking that they got separated, even if she doesn't know what happened between then.

But also, about Gaston...]

I didn't even tell you what he did yet.

[Proof that he knows him alright.]

But if it makes you feel better, Rocket got him to drink vinegar labeled vodka. I think we'll be fine.

[toogoodforhim]

I've - I've been watching.

[Girl he's been concerned since day one that Gaston is gonna Do a Murder

But at the offer to pass a message on to Maui, he hesitates. And then he gives her another smile.]

Tell him- tell him I have a surprise for him, and that I'm gonna see him again soon. And, um... [He knows that everyone from his round know's he's... well, of that persuasion, and Moana gave him that smile when she said 'boyfriend,' so it's... it's probably fine, right?]

Tell him that I love him?

[truecalling]

You guys can see us? Well, I guess that makes things easier.

[She feels sill for her introduction now, but-- hey. That's reassuring. It only makes sense they have some good magic on their side if they're talking about meeting the dead again.]

You're going to try and get in contact with him?

[Either way--]

Don't worry, I'll tell him everything.

[In the back, behind Lefou, a shock of very red hair speaks up... with a laugh.]

Ha! That was classic. Props to the little dude.
