but even if the stars and moon collide [afterparty]

[Well, that sucked!

After about an hour, invitations written in colorful ink appear under everyone's doors.]

Understandable if you're not up to it, but we're having a memorial and "don't wanna be alone" hang-out in the restaurant again.

[The restaurant has very much been decorated with the most rainbow fabric she could find in the department store. Jonathan got roped in, mainly so she could make sure he was doing okay, but also because she assumed that he knew how to put a tablecloth on a table. He seemed like the type, anyway.

After consulting with Undertaker, most of the food that's been set out is more traditional Chinese funeral food than Victorian—you can get a whole roast duck in the restaurant—but she tried for a mix of things. There is fruit, the aforementioned roast duck, and several vegetarian dishes along with potatoes for some reason and... cookies? Okay then.

Joy's trying, because that was way less terrible for her than it was for basically anyone else.

Happy Pride Wrath, New Rapture!]

suite 5, about an hour after the trial

[knock knock, broski]

Heeey, Brett? You up, man?

[inaclearing]

[The reply's somewhat muffled, but pretty quick.]

Yeah, I'm up.

[hellaethics]

Can I come in? I brought you somethin' and as long as you're not allergic to strawberries you might like it.

[inaclearing]

...sure.

[He'll get up and let Jason in. His room is pretty much like all the others. There's a Peregrine Wells Funko pop on a shelf, in spite of how low-key creepy it is, and a corkboard on the dresser that looks to have the beginnings of a full-on conspiracy board. From the look of it, though, Brett was just lying in bed.]

[Aw, that's a cute little Funko Pop. Wonder who that's supposed to be. The corkboard wall is also sure A Thing but Jason has a mission! And that mission is to immediately hold out a fizzy pink ice cream soda to him. It even has a cherry and bendy straw.]

I made ice cream sodas for everybody in the restaurant buuut you weren't there so I checked the library and the patio just in case. You weren't there either so I figured you were probably in here.
