this trial wasnt nearly bad enough for sad song lyrics

[oh_worm]

[ A while after... All That, Beth puts together a. Party? Like objectively, this is a party.There's no music, which is a bummer, and no real decorations, but this is a fair shot at a party. In the Lobby, so there's no real getting around it, but if people want to just go back to their rooms she's not gonna judge them.

Audrey is contributing some ART, Penny contributed a veggie tray, there are some hot dogs and corn dogs run over from the Hot Dog Place, and beyond that there's... salad. So much salad. An unreasonable amount of butter lettuce salad with different dressings. Nothing (personally) fried, and nothing that requires anyone to spend too much time in the kitchen. Because like... screw that?

Anyway, welcome to the first afterparty. Aren't you glad you didn't leave it in the hands of a total shitpost? ]

[ Fizzy is definitely...downtrodden after all that. But really, she doesn't think for a moment about being alone, because that's not how she operates. So the party is a great excuse to be around people. She trots around, eating some veggies and...a corn dog, strangely enough. Ever seen a unicorn eating a corn dog? Well, now you have.

She's not really doing anything, seeming to get distracted easily as usual, but she does kind of hang around the profiles for a little while. ]

[Centipeedle sees the lone pony hanging around the profiles, thinking how nearly everyone almost thought she killed that human. Centi wasn't trusting of everyone, but the little technicolor noodle? No way.

She comes in, giving a questioning noise. Just in case the little Otis-Bojackian wants to be alone.]

[carbonairhead]

Oh, hi there. [ Fizzy smiles in a welcoming way. ] Do you want to read them too? I don't mind company.

[captain_cronch]

[How does she say this? Centipeedle shakes her head point at the profiles before crossing her arms. She can't read.]

[carbonairhead]

Oh...! Oh, you can't...? Well, that's no fun! Do you want me to read them to you? I can't promise I'll pronounce all the big words correctly, but I'll try my best!

[captain_cronch]

[SIT.

She's ready for sweet noodle creature to read people's stories!]

[candymancan]

[Just kind of. Sidles up.]

So your friend attempted to murder a raccoon.

[carbonairhead]

[ Frowns. ]

I'm starting to think you're not very nice, Mr. Wonka.

[candymancan]

Now whatever would give you that idea, my dear?

[carbonairhead]

You're taking all of this really...easily. And you said it was fun before! Nothing about someone dying is fun.

[candymancan]

Not necessarily the fact that they died, but the method behind it. It's not your average, run-of-the-mill death, it's interesting.

Besides, what's a better response to someone's death- to find the good in it and press on, or to mope endlessly while even more people die? Because I assure you... As long as we remain trapped here, more people will die.

[manecharacter]

Hey.. Fizz. How are you holding up?

[He's bad at this, but he's trying.]

[carbonairhead]

[ She manages to offer him a smile, her jewel eyes twinkling as she turns to face him. ]

Uh... I don't really know. I think I'm fine, but...that was all really horrible, wasn't it? I just keep thinking about them both.

[manecharacter]

I think it's probably better if we don't think of.. whatever the furry thing was. The girl with the book, though? She will be missed.

[He's nailing this.]

[carbonairhead]

But...he did say he felt kinda bad about it.

[manecharacter]

I don't think he has the capacity to process complex emotions like guilt.

[standsforrevenge]

Yo, it's the unicorn! I guess you really ARE real!

[carbonairhead]

[ ................ ]

You...didn't think I was real?

[standsforrevenge]

Duh? How many times have YOU seen a unicorn?

[carbonairhead]

...All the time? There are lots of unicorns in Ponyland.

[standsforrevenge]

Lots!? But I thought there was only one last unicorn!

[oh_worm]

Hey.

[ Walks over to her. ]

Enjoying the food?

[carbonairhead]

Oh, yes, thank you! [ A little smile. ] Did you set all this up, Beth? I think it's really nice, so no one has to be alone.

[oh_worm]

That's the idea! Though I maybe made too much salad.

[carbonairhead]

No, there can't be too much salad. We'll just eat more of it tomorrow. ...'Cause we'll still be here...
