[okay i am only awake for a little bit longer but she would show up and help cook if needed?]

This gathering has become a little quieter, hasn't it?

[squirt]

[ still grateful to have her stop by, they can cook definitely not sussy frozen lobster together. he smiles a tiny bit. ]

No one had the energy for a bigger party today.

[ but yes, the absence of their friends is felt. we are heading into that late game depression era. ]

[booksleeves]

I can understand that. It has been ordeal after ordeal for all of you.

[late game depression era.]

[squirt]

We'll manage. [ they're going to win this ] ...But it's good to take a break.

I'm glad you could join us for a while too.

[booksleeves]

I'm glad, too. I know this is all hard, but I'm still grateful for the time we get to spend with everyone outside of being made to solve these cases.

[rosebleed]

[turns around.]

Oh! Susato? I didn't know you guys were coming?

[booksleeves]

[some of us may be coming depending on how busy we are with modwork but she is stopping by.]

If you are gracious enough to invite us, then I'm very happy to stop by and say hello, even though there is still a good deal to do.

Are you alright, Miss Rosamund? [what a bad night.]

[rosebleed]

[she and iris are the most important anyway harrumph]

This is the problem with being management. You never get to rest.

[Rosamund shrugs. There is whisky on her breath by the way.]

I'm not thrilled. But I don't care to be alone right now wallowing in it, either. What about yourself?

[booksleeves]

We have plenty of down time ourselves. Not the weekends, those are quite busy, but during the week we don't have all that many responsibilities other than to continue to try to learn what we can.

[she would notice and is politely not scolding her even though she is such a mom friend and is itching to do it.]

I think you have it right. Being alone and wallowing in misery won't ever help us succeed here. It's better to be with friends.

[sixam]

[ waves from setting the table i guess. ]

Little bit, but we're making it work.

[booksleeves]

[hello jonas]

I can see that. Especially with so many supplies.

[sixam]

I think... Haru really wanted an excuse to use his lobster. Jacopo made ours earlier this week, so I can't say I blame him.

[booksleeves]

It is so wonderful that you have both been able to procure this extraordinary amount of lobster.

[something in her voice suggests she is worried about where the hell this lobster is coming from.]

[damp]

Even this group can run low on stamina sometimes.

[ Come, come... have some corn. ]

[booksleeves]

[there is so much corn.]

I don't blame you at all. It was a difficult and long day.

[damp]

Today really was exhausting...

I'm going to stay way from eggs for a week, at least.

[booksleeves]

It was only just tidied up from being destroyed earlier in this week! Murder is bad enough, but must they make a mess of eggs everywhere, too?

[damp]

They're such a good source of protein, too.

[obdure]

... Dinner has changed a bit, but we should still eat after nine hours.

[ she may help however she wants in this cursed tiki lounge... she may shuck all the corn ]

[booksleeves]

[she absolutely will come in here and shuck so much corn.]

All of you did the hardest work, so please allow me to shuck this.

[obdure]

Thank you. We'll steam some corn in case anyone gets peckish before the pasta is ready. Help yourself.

[ ... ]

Why lobsters... Why corn? Is this a blessing, or delirium entertainment? Whatever, belated happy pride, Strohl.

[booksleeves]

I do not know the answers to those questions, I'm afraid. But it does make for a well balanced meal. Perhaps they're only worrying about you.

[obdure]

... I guess... Peas are something. More vegetables would make this better.

[ well-rounded? he doesn't know. ]
