POST-TRIAL LOOSE ENDS & SHARING

[trashmouthtozier]

[that night, after a KO'd Eddie has been brought back to Cabin 3 to recuperate and everyone has scattered, Richie returns to the campfire with a book tucked under his arm, and a flashlight. he's not thinking about bringing supplies for s'mores, or hot dogs, or burgers, or any of that, not this week. so if anyone wants to show up with food, they're welcome. if anyone has appetites.

this week, he's focused on the remnants of a word he scribbled in the dirt earlier, flipping through the book he found on Thursday. he exhales, slowly, looking like he might just be sick all over again, no matter how tired he is. the makeshift scarf Cielo made him is draped over his shoulders to keep away any evening chill]

Oh, God. I ... I know what they said, you guys.

[When Mitsuru bites into it - there's a metallic taste on the bottom of it, and it's super flaky]

[killtheanimals]

[He didn't bite into it first because I need to make a joke.

Instead, he notices that the underside seems odd, gives it a sniff, and...]

Hey, Cielo. Catch.

[Chucks the scone at their resident cannibal.]

[velocirainbow]

[ ... Catches it. And just. Pops it into his mouth without any hesitation whatsoever, as if to prove the fact he's a cannibal is indeed true, although you can probably catch his teeth changing shape for a split second to something sharper.

... Yeah, he can transform just parts of his body. ]

[killtheanimals]

...How did it taste?

[He's got his suspicions, but...]

[velocirainbow]

Dere's blood in dere. Maybe more den dat.

[ He siiiighhhhs. ]

I wouldn't eat 'em, or let any of de othas do it. I'll eat 'em, though.

[killtheanimals]

One last reminder of Chloe.

[And in the most awful way. RIP.]

[velocirainbow]

... Ain't de way I'd consider respectin' de body, for sure. You supposed to jus' devour 'em.

[ He looks so nonplussed. ]

[killtheanimals]

If we're the ones who have to clean it...

[What are your thoughts on being a vacuum cleaner, Cielo?]

[velocirainbow]

We gwon have to scrub de kitchen eitha way. If you lookin' for someone to get rid of... whateva you need to be rid of, I ain't a trashcan. But I can help you if it's big stuff ain't nobody want.

[ So there. ]

An' I can help you clean. I ain't squeamish.

[killtheanimals]

The brain matter is what will bother people the most, I think. But it would be best if we could actually cook without the mess.

[By we he mainly means Shirou or Chuuta.]

[velocirainbow]

... No, I agree.

[ He's starting to think Mitsuruf isn't a bad kid, he's the Gale of the group. Dear god. It makes so much sense. ]

I'll do what I can to clean it up, don't worry about it brudda. De place should be spotless by lunch tomorrow.

[killtheanimals]

Good.

[...

Was there supposed to be a thank you? Nah, he just expected you to do the thing. ]

[velocirainbow]

[ ... Nudge nudge. ]

You knoooow... I'll accept another scone as a thank-you, bro. You ain't gotta even say it. I mean, ain't nobody else gwon eat dem.

[killtheanimals]

[...

He will grab another scone and attempt to push it into Cielo's mouth.]

[velocirainbow]

[ Scone accepted! And he will plague you no more. He will go talk to the others first before he departs, though. Plus there's curfew to worry about, so... he wants to make sure everyone's okay. ]
