is this darkness of the dawn and your friends are gone

[Everything keeps happening so much and the only real constants are death and parties.

Zerinda takes the initiative to plan things this time, with Della helping her deliver the invitations either being slipped under doors again.]



[It gives everyone an hour or two to settle down from the investigation and trial. By 6 on the dot the tables in the lounge are packed with miscellaneous vending machine snacks, a large pot of a thick and warm white stew, a plate stacked with biscuits and cupcakes. So many cupcakes. Mira has been coping well with her stress.

There's also several bottles of wine, hot coffee and hot chocolate waiting for anyone thirsty.

Welcome to the party, ya'll.]

You've all had my big secret from the start. I'm a thief. Some people back home think that's worth killing over. Not much to mention beyond that.

[ladygeryon]

That certainly sounds like a horrid way to think about things. Death penalty for theft's been long abolished by now.

[bolderfell]

I've stolen a lot of things from a lot of people. Lawkeepers are the least of my worries.

[ladygeryon]

...yeah, I can believe that. Rich people annoyed about losing dusty old family heirlooms?

[bolderfell]

I run into that a lot, but it's typically my fellow thieves who cause me the most trouble.

[ladygeryon]

[A moment of consideration, before she nods.] Yeah, I can see why that'd be. [Only so much loot to go around, after all.] Still, guess none of that'll really be an issue while we're still here.

[bolderfell]

...Well, it shouldn't be. Not like the Professor hasn't thrown it at me a couple times already. Any shock value he could have used, he's already squandered.

[ladygeryon]

[That gets a sarcastic snort from her.] How repetitive of him. Quite the second-rate evil mastermind there.

[bolderfell]

[Scoff.]

Right. I know.
