everybody's fine 'cause it's party time ( W5 AFTERPARTY )

[cheerfuldays]

After a positively thrilling game of the prisoner's dilemma, it's all over. Everyone needs to get patched up, recover and... hopefully not kill each other after everything. At some point in the cafeteria, Shizuku and Madara have taken over the kitchen- though help won't be denied completely- and leaving a large meal of noodles and whatever else they can still use from Fai and Shizuku's little shopping trip... not a lot of fresh food, but it works out. There's also plenty of coffee, a tea kettle and even hot chocolate ready. (Shizuku herself is using her ill-gotten tapioca balls for some homemade boba, hell yeah.) Team Idol may not stick around for long, but there's plenty to go around for now... and Shizuku will happily bring over some snacks from the convenience store too. And did you know that place has a milkshake machine? Because it does. Get you a milkshake, people.

But tensions are high after everything. Hopefully this doesn't become a murdergame.

[ well. he isn't sure if this makes him feel better or worse?? it's very understandable. ]

I know the matter of betrayal was also on our minds after the previous two rounds. Given our condition and given our position... I think we were all but ready to betray the next team that we came across.

[ except you know. they came across a team of Goods who were ready to put their neck on the line for them. ]

However, it was also very easy for us to ultimately decide to not. It seemed to be an abuse of your trust in us, which is the nature of a betrayal but...

[ they, uh, had targets? in mind?? unspoken ones. ]

... It was easier to do so against people who've done the same already, wasn't it?

( she's... not sure how she feels about this entire day. but this much, she thinks she can at least understand the logic of it. )

You and the others all saw Florence, right?

[vivens]

In a way yes. I'd allow room for explanation depending on the situation and what was at stake.

[ but given what they were all dealing with? it didn't quite make a lot of sense to betray. well, then again, after his team took so many L's there was some debate. ]

And we did; normally I wouldn't have bothered too much but I'm not the only one who hurts.

[ re. if he's hurting then ace is hurting and he can't have that. ]

[cheerfuldays]

You have to take care of yourself too you know.

( light pap!! the worst scolding shizuku could ever offer. and it is clearly devastating /s. )

... Today really was the worst though. I hope it doesn't disrupt us all too much...

[vivens]

[ the light pap takes him by surprise but he'll start laughing after a moment and lower his head in apology.

yes, yes...shizuku has made her point very clear. sabo will be a good boy in the near future. ]

Neither do I, but we've made it this far. I'd hope that people wouldn't end up stumbling now.
