How could this happen? (afterparty)

[folkscallmewander]

[Wander has reeled back from this execution faster than Mulan's. This murder wasn't an accident, but it was still terrible all around, and it wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances. Knowing that Tadashi planned this out made it...a bit better, but it still made something awful eat at his stomach.

Speaking of which, everyone needed to eat something light today. Right after the trial, he heads to the kitchen and prepares twenty bowls of fruit salad and mixes together ingredients for chocolate chip cookies. While they're cooling off, he slides a note under everyone's rooms.]



There's fruit in the lounge, cookies coming soon. We should stick together, especially after this.

[Well, it's an accomplishment to him that he actually got hee to look up right off the bat! Of course, considering how much of a mess Elsa is right now, it's... probably not that good of a sight to see...]

Yes?

[toogoodforhim]

[Well, if he was interested in women he'd probably think she was flawless all the time. But he's dropped the Sassy from his title as Sassy Gay Friend.

...Except now he realizes he didn't have anything planned to say. Oops.]

I just...wanted to see if you needed anything.

[He looks at the ice sculptures.]

That's beautiful.

[defyingfrigidity]

I appreciate the offer, but no, I don't.

[Not really anything anyone can do here.]

... Thank you. Even if they can never see these... they deserve something nice, one last time.

[toogoodforhim]

[He's going to bring her something to eat tomorrow, but nobody's really in much of a mood to eat right now. At least, he's not.]

I agree. I think they'd love them.

[He gets close enough to kneel respectfully down beside her, not unlike he's settled to pray.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[She's probably not going to eat. It's... pretty obvious she hasn't been eating much since wednesday, and this whole mess isn't going to help that at all.]

I wish I could've done more for Sophie. We spoke a few times, and she was very kind, but... I didn't know what sort of things she liked. I could've made something a little more personal...

[toogoodforhim]

[He will Try.]

I... We talked about magic, once. She told me why her hair was silver.

[defyingfrigidity]

... You did? What did she say?

[toogoodforhim]

It was, um. A witch cursed her to look like an old lady, for a really petty reason.

[Even pettier than "you're an asshole here now your entire castle is damned to eternal winter"]

When the curse was broken, I guess the hair...stayed.

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Huh. So it's like what happened to Anna..]

That's a little odd... if the curse was lifted, it should have returned to normal too. Did she find out why it stayrd like that?

[toogoodforhim]

...She didn't say. But it suited her, I think. The way it was.

[defyingfrigidity]

It did. It wasn't white or blonde... it made her look very unique. Like a piece of a star.

[Fitting. Sophie's kindness just kinda shone over all of them, didn't it?]

[toogoodforhim]

[Their sky is dimmer without her.]

I wish she'd told me more about her home. I wish I'd had more time to ask.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Without a star and without sunshine... it's like the sky is destined to be dark from now on.]

I feel the same way. Why do we only think of these things when the people we want to grow closer to are gone...?

[toogoodforhim]

[He shakes his head, looks down at the memorial. Thinks about watching real men and women eke out what they thought would be their last goodbyes while they turn into inanimate objects.]

...I guess we just always think we'll have more time.

[defyingfrigidity]

You would think after the first time, we'd learn that it isn't always the case...

[But here they are, mourning the time they could have had. Mourning how they didn't even get to say goodbye...]
