Afterparty? Catherding?? .........Afterherding?????

[As soon as they're let out of the trial area, Mike makes a beeline for lounge and kitchen. Why, becomes apparent, because soon after, the room furniture in the lounge is arranged in a circle, with a seat for the all the remaining guests.

There's also a pot of coffee and soda cuz it's been a long fucking day. Maybe there are cheezits too, I don't know, a seventeen year old boy put this together. There are pizza rolls probably.

IN ANY CASE, hope you had enough time to flop and mope because Mike's knocking on every door and telling folks to meet in the lounge--if they aren't in their rooms, he'll slip a note under their doors. Once gathered, he skips straight to the point.]

I know it's been...a rough couple days for all of us, but we can't rest just yet. Especially not after that.

Before anything else can happen, we need a plan. How do we get to our friends, and how do we get them back?

And has anyone gotten any more weird notes lately?

It's worth a try, I think.

[ Please get some sleep, Elsa... Naminé doesn't say it, but she's worried. ]

[defyingfrigidity]

[She nods. Look, she's given up on her own personal health, but if it can help the others in some way... she'll try and do this, at least.]

I'll be sure to let everyone know as soon as I can, if anything new happens.

[chainbroke]

Okay. And if you need anything, I'd be glad to help.

[ We're all in this together, after all. ]

[defyingfrigidity]

Of course. We... we were already planning to help each other out, right?

[She still hasn't forgotten about Namine's plan to lift everyone's spirits... even if the air of depression is hanging low over them, she's still willing to help Namine with it.]

[chainbroke]

[ Even with the gloom... her face lights up. ]

Oh, yes, of course!

[ She's so happy Elsa remembered. ]

Maybe... we could set up a gathering... and have everyone create their own ice cream sundaes.

[ The idea's still in the works, admittedly. ]

[defyingfrigidity]

... Wander had an idea like that.

[She hadn't meant to bring up the dead, possibly bringing the conversation down, but... it was one of the things that really stood out, when the grief and pain of losing Anna were still fresh and raw.]

I wouldn't be able to help much with that, though. My magic can do a lot of things, but it doesn't extend to making ice cream.

[chainbroke]

... It sounds like something he would suggest.

[ She smiles sadly, then goes quiet for a moment. ]

Well... we would need some way to keep it cold, wouldn't we? And we'd need some decorations, too. And I'd definitely need help figuring out which toppings would be good.
