[when dimitri rings the bell, shadows appear before him, from which emerges cetus. when they speak, there's an odd, almost muffled quality to their voice.]
[once dimitri rings this bell, there's a prompt response. shadows coalesce behind the desk, and a moment later, orion steps out. they give a little nod of their head.]
[unfortunately for dimitri, rng gave him virgo. so! after he rings one of the bells at random, a shadowy portal opens up in front of him, and out steps virgo.
they stop short when they see the tea.]
...
[they look around first.]
That - that fucker who stabbed me on Saturday isn't anywhere around here, is he? He fucking rang the bell earlier and just STARED at me! Like he was waiting! If he shows up, you have to make sure he doesn't get close!!
[ ...wow! he makes a token effort to look around. ]
I do not think Yoo is here today.
[ he actually likes yjh and doesn't really understand everything that happened at trial, but like, it's reasonable to be startled by someone who stabs you, i guess. ]
[ dimitri's not left waiting too long! aquila appears in a swirl of shadow when they are called upon. they're the same as they were at the party, sporting a pair of pitch black wings, and matching, pitch black and clawed hands. they're holding the tea cup in one of them. ]
Dimitri! Lord Dimitri? Whichever. Morning. How can I help you?
Just Dimitri is fine. [ he prefers it and also the thought of correcting people of his proper title makes him want to die ] Thank you for your time. I was hoping to ask you a few questions.
hey dimitri, no problem hope sylvain's doing okay. he was ok enough to flirt so i think hes probably gonna recover just fine hahahah
for your healing task - give four people nicknames, use them with fidelity for a couple days you get seven days to finish the task but the faster you finish it the better
[ aka: make sure you thread the giving the nicknames and use them in a couple other threads! we'd love to see them in public. we believe in you to be funny nu ]
[perfect coffeetime doesn't flow quite as well as perfect teatime, but virgo appears out of shadows with a cup of coffee and sips at it. is it just black coffee or did he put creamer in it or something.]
[ because virgo has baby vibes, it has cream and sugar. dimitri is not drinking any because he doesn't need caffeine when he has insomnia. he just has some chamomile tea.
he's pretty business-like today. ]
Yes. I would like an outline of how deals are brokered with staff members. How many you may make, limitations, requirements, what have you.
[the way i truly pondered if dimitri put the coffee in a cup or just dumped it in the box. anyway. he hits the bell for a minute and nothing occurs, but shortly after he'll hear a voice behind him.]
Hey Dimitri. [the coffee is in their hand, so it was well received.] How are things?
[ yeah he just poured hot coffee into a box like fuck you guys
no, he's just chilling, greeting them with a nod. ]
Well, frankly, they could be better.
[ memshare memshare ]
I do not know if the stardust will affect us here, but in the interest of sparing you my memories, I will get to the point—may I ask if you recognize this?
[ pulls out my NEMESIS, a sheet of HANGMAN PAPER ]
[ i just looked up and saw that i missed a whole ass thread with you. i'm so sorry, nu
anyway! they are here. orion doesn't seem to mind the coffee, which they are holding when they step free of the shadows, and give dimitri a little nod of their head. ]
Mr. Blaiddyd, good morning. How can I be of assistance?
[ you're fine i've sucked so bad at audiences this game. he's privately thinking that orion seems too put together to be one of the people involved in this, but it's fine. ]
Good morning.
[ HE SHOWS THEM THE HANGMAN PAPER!!!! ]
I was wondering if you could tell me who was involved in writing this?
[ ring ring! orion's response is prompt - they're holding the wisteria flower when they step through their shadows, tucking them back in their sleeve with a nod of greeting. ]
Thank you for the tip, Mr. Blaiddyd. How can I be of assisstance?
I do. First, are you able to inform me of which room service powers can be used on Saturday, and which cannot? Or will I need to ask each of you individually?
actually, they are in the kitchen, trying to prepare a simple meal without fucking ruining it. good luck. maybe whatever dimitri wanted to ask will save them from their own shitty cooking. they should really just let souji handle this.]
Hmm, what else do I need for this...
[they have an assortment of vegetables and spices in front of them, and a fish on a plate that needs to be cut up.]
