Funeral Service for Adaman and Hodaka Morishima
[ An hour or two after the first trial's end, Hild and the Undertaker set out to invite as many people as possible to the Restaurant for the funerals of our dearly departed friends.
Why the restaurant of all places? Because there aren't enough chairs and tables elsewhere.
Indeed, some of the tables have been moved against the wall to make room for the seats. The chairs have been set up in four rows of six, like an improvised theater or a church. To the side, a small buffet has been set up courtesy of Obi, Mafuyu, and Hild. As for the main event? Two tables have been set up and decorated in black fabric and white flowers. In lieu of a live viewing, two drawings referenced from the profiles have been set up in the center of funeral wreaths... They're not the best, due to the artist's handicaps, but it does look like Adaman and Hodaka at least.]

cw emeto
[ And what follows is Nandor making loud noises that are definitely stand-ins for projectile vomiting while throwing his arms in front of his mouth, violently shaking them and doing spirit fingers, to simulate the stream! When you think he's done, he just goes BLUHHH even louder and extends his arms further. It goes on for, like, thirty seconds. ]
Tore through a tent from the sheer force of it. Humiliating experience for me.
CW EMETO MAJORLY; also blood
Now it's Dandy's turn to be disgusted.]
Gross! Okay, okay! I get the picture- Stop fingering the air!!!!
[That "yummy" is going to haunt him for the rest of his time here.]
So that blows! Literally.
I'm sure there's other super awesome things you can do, right? Enough cool perks to balance out the... Uuuuh. Ooey-gooey stuff?
...Wouldja classify blood as more "ooey-gooey," or "splishy-splashy?" I'm leanin' more towards the second thing.
no subject
It is the second. [ He says it very definitively! ] At any rate, in this place, all of my [ all but air-quoting ] "cool powers" have waned to nothingness.
[ Which sounds like, and is, just another whiny comment, but also: ]
What is even the point of having them if I cannot use them when it counts?
no subject
[Look at him! Being optimistic instead of utterly and entirely shitty for once. Doesn't make up for even a fraction of all the titty talk, however.]
You still can! Guess we've all gotta work a helluva lot harder at it, huh?
The Mayor's a sketchy guy, but he's also just the type of sketchy guy who's givin' it his all to suck us bone dry, baby! [um] Which means that if you've got yourself some fancy-schmancy oogly-booglies, [read: superpowers] they're gone, but not forever! Probably.
Otherwise he'd really be shootin' himself in the foot, right?
no subject
Nandor isn't going to lose any sleep over a couple of kids dying and never was. It would be ridiculous, after all the thousands of orphans he has undoubtedly left in his wake over the centuries. But he still should have been able to stop this specific couple of kids dying. He should have been able to change what happened today, or the day before, or the day they got here. Even at his lowest lows, he's always functioned with the assumption that he'll be able to snarl "enough of this!" and resolve a situation, and now...
Well, Dandy's still talking. Maybe he can tune out of the self-loathing for five seconds and absorb what he's saying, and maybe it'll actually be worth hearing. ]
You are saying he requires us to have some connection to our powers?
no subject
[fucking christ dandy is actually trying to think... tbf, he and jimmy neutral have similar hairdos, and they've never been in the same room at the same time yeah just think about that]
I think the exact words were that this place, "Scoops them up and holds them tight?"
So somethin'... Is keepin' 'em from working.
But they're not gone.
'S not like I know for sure, though.
