all that glitters is gold [AFTERPARTY]

[sixfingeredstan]

[It's been a very long, and very upsetting morning, and honestly, Ford is feeling goddamn drained. All the events of the day have hit him like a ton of bricks. And as much as he wants nothing more than to sleep for about a week...well. There's work to do.

After talking it over with Fiddleford, his first mission is hitting the kitchen and scraping together all the eggs, potatoes, and onions he can find. It takes him a good few hours, but eventually he's got five big casserole dishes full of kugel, steaming hot, fresh out of the oven. He stacks up a big pile of plates, forks, and serving utensils and carries it all into the lounge in trips.

Next is the business of the still. Between the two of them, the two Fords manage to get it into the lounge and set it up on a table where it's easy to access. Ford also pilfers a big glass jug of apple juice for the kids and puts it nearby. All the adults are free to partake of a cup of Fiddleford's sugar shine. They'll be needing it, tonight.

Lastly, are the notes. Ford writes them all out in his neat, block lettering, and slips one under each door—pausing at the doors of the deceased with a sad frown each time.

The lounge is quiet while they wait for everyone to arrive, save for the sounds of banjo music....

[ She lets out a soft laugh, stroking one of her ears lightly. ]

That makes sense. [ She nods. ] It makes me happy when I see that you're safe, too.

And I would like to get to know you... if that's alright.

[capulion]

[It tickles a little and Kiara giggles, ear twitching.]

Of course! I mean, I'm not that interesting, really, but... I'm still learning so much about your species, since I've never met any before now.

[chainbroke]

Oh, I'm sure that's not true. I thought the same thing, and... I've made so many friends.

[ ... Kiara has absolutely no idea how true that is. Oops. ]

Do you mean humans?

[capulion]

[Yes, that is exactly what she means. Luckily, that distracts her from arguing about her self worth.]

Yeah, the human monkeys that almost everyone here is.

[chainbroke]

[ Her shoulders drop a little. ]

I wish you'd have had a better introduction to humans... This isn't the nicest situation to meet a brand new species in.

[capulion]

No, it's not. We're making the most of it, though.

[She's managed to become quite fond of some of these "humans".]

[chainbroke]

We are. Or, at the very least, we're trying our best.

[capulion]

It can count for a lot.

[More than she used to give it credit for.]

[chainbroke]

I think... it's the reason we've managed like we have for this long.
