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.]

Just poof me. [ WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, RIGHT ] You can't fix corruption. The best you can hope for is that whatever I am still recognizes you long enough to hesitate. If you don't destroy my gem, it's not like he can put you on trial.

... Understood, but--

..... How do we-- poof you?

[hardnosed]

... Oh, right. Just use a projectile.

[philoxenia]

Just.... any projectile?

[ at your face??? ]

[hardnosed]

Anything big enough and sharp enough to pierce the physical form should work, but it's better not to get too close. Then you take my gem and keep it somewhere I won't be able to get out of, before I can reform.

[ She's absolutely writing that down. ]

... Hopefully it won't have to come to that, but it's best to be prepared. Finding a place to put it might be the biggest problem... We'd have to keep your gem in a sturdy container, right?

[hardnosed]

It's a start, but I can't guarantee it wouldn't just break from the inside. But if there's no windows to damage, and the door is blocked, that could work.

I'd say the museum, since...well, mercifully window-free, but we all saw how that worked.
