Afterparty the Third

[Yuta's gone. He can't do the after party. So now it's up to Sonic. Yes, Hunter was going to do it, or...at least yell at the sheep to do it, but Sonic pointed out they were going to need more than just apple slices. People were starving and the sheep couldn't cook. In his opinion, of course. How does one even bruise an apple like that!?

Hunter wasn't happy with him, and what's her face Jeanie probably hated his guts now, but honestly, who was happy with anything at this point?

So, the first thing he does is go to the kitchen and start to do the one thing he knows will at least help: cook. The food is back, and so he's going to make a hearty mean and veggie stew in the oven, courtesy of an old recipe that nanny Rosie would make when they were kids. Back before the takeover. After they got food in Knothole.

While the stew is stewing in the oven for a good hour or so, Sonic himself is just...stewing. And also making something with rice in the microwave to tie people over in the meantime. It's actually congee, but he thinks its hot rice pudding, so whatever, it's good to go for people.

And yes. He also has apple slices and graham crackers, Hunter insisted on it. And yes, he's made extra and enough for everyone and Nanami to have seconds if they'd like. They need to eat, albeit slowly so they don't get sick, and he makes notes at the cafeteria table stating that. Then he gets to work with a cookbook to try and make some kind of drink that can help with getting people back on their feet. Dylan does cover with chamomile tea, at least, so it's not as much of an urgent issue.

He's mostly staying in the kitchen if people want to bug him. When he does finally come out, he sits in silence, staring at his bowl of stew, picking at the carrots. He's tired. It's pretty obvious on his face.]

Because that is how you treat Valmont. Treat him even in death. More evil than any of the killers we had promised to forgive, when he reaches for his own possession in his peer's arms, when he carries a knife that never broke another's skin. I have reclaimed Shamash for myself from the very same boy who objected so harshly, brought a nail bat to the playground shed in the event something happens, and does it mean I am evil? Does it mean I am a fool?

Valmont was not incapable of doing wrong. Far from it. Objections would be merited. I merely...

To be honest, you were not the very worst of them. You limited yourself most strictly to interpretations of the evidence. It was simply too painful to hear all at once. I must be more humble in future. More patient.

Not a cool trial... I might agree.

[Implying there is such a thing as a cool trial... She gathers up some more chunks of stew in her spoon.]

Still, likely it seemed. I was in the demographic group that contained the true culprit. Who scolded the victim while I was his friend, but that is a distraction.

Yes, please do not.

[She is eating with a spoon, it could be knocked all the way to the other side of the room!]

How interesting. I thought dances placed feet on the ground. Is it a type of combat?

I should not be surprised by the discipline involved. Controlling the entire body, even the face and fingertips, is an important part of ballet. Actually, the fingertips are also important in traditional Japanese dancing, I had always wanted to learn more about that someday... But studying music and choreography is an important part of these disciplines. Is it different with break dancing?
