did you think this group meeting wasn't going to be a party because have i got news for you

[innocentloveholic]

[ Hopefully everyone has gotten their flyers, their reminders, their... everything, because this is going to be a very sorry meeting otherwise.

The ballroom is decorated as brightly and frivolously as it would be if it were hosting an ordinary party: while there isn't a parfait bar (shock!!! horror!!!), there are some tables grabbed from somewhere laden with small foods like sandwiches and crepes and other things you can just hold in your hand—though you're welcome to bring your own if you don't trust it, considering what happened at the last meeting. There's also a list of questions set out on some tables sitting in the middle of the room; like the last point says, they're not imperative, but they're to help things get moving and keep moving.

...there are also chairs around the tables-in-the-middle so people can sit, the conference room is right across the hall so they probably took those and no, seriously, they could've held this there but it wouldn't have been half as fun. Or Feridy. ]




[ ooc: just like at our last group meetings/our trials/etc, mingle and jump in whenever and with whatever! ]

[Ferid's got that German burn book from before... as well as sheet of paper with different handwriting on it, also in German.

... And a blood bag. I'm sorry, you have your goddamn meals and he has his goddamn meals. Deal with it!!! This is what you get for knowing his secret now!!]

So~. This isn't our darling host's secret diary, for one, and two...

[... He may as well give it up; it isn't like he's found a use for it so far, and it's getting dreary just laying around his room, so onto the table goes a brass key as well. It's old fashioned.]

I found this a long time ago~. It doesn't go to any of the doors, for the record, though I haven't actually tested that myself. I simply asked our host if there really was no way for us to unlock them from our side.

[Fern’s been in a… contemplative mood today. Keeping to herself and just thinking a lot since the motive. When she arrives in the dress Ferid made, she’s largely mingling about and making sure everyone’s alright. But she’s also been thinking about this a while and after a bit of discussion at the party, she’ll speak up.]

This isn’t, uh, super relevant but.... I don’t really…. trust myself? With the motive and all. So I thought, uh, I should tell you guys something. All of you this time.

I’m sure some of you guys remember that I said my son was sick before I came here. But... it wasn’t like any sickness I’ve ever heard of before. He was... [She chokes up a little, despite herself.] He had these things coming out of him. Like boils and warts and roots a-and... Well, I told you guys his teeth just grew in?

They’ve been growing in and falling out for weeks. [A wave of nausea hits just thinking about it.] And there was some other stuff but...

A-Anyway I-I just. I needed you guys to know that because... because maybe he couldn’t tell he was green either...

[And that’s Fern’s secret. At least she got to answer the first question on the sheet.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...so, okay, at least one person's gotten a heavy secret out, what's next— ]

Has anyone been asked questions from my soulmate finding sheet? I totally gave him one and he's used it on me a few times... [ Hummm. ] One time about... the crystal ball one, with what I'd like to know if I had one? And another about my hobbies, when we were trading questions for questions!

[ there might be more but i'm tired leave me be these are the ones that i remembered easiest ]

[Aligula did a rather good job with her questionnaire. There's one that gets Naoto's attention, may as well say it to everyone...]

What are the most suspicious spot we have seen? Anything that looks abnormal or strange may be a valuable clue.

For example, Mozu-san told me the trees in the Greenhouse are rather unusual. It seems the roots are oddly weak, for a tree. I examined them myself, but they do seem to be trees...

[...]

I don't know if it's no more than a mere quirk of the greenhouse, but I thought it would be good to mention it.

As far as our next seance...

Well, is there any reason why we couldn't organize one here and now? We've already gathered this meeting together. We may as well milk it for all its worth.

[She pauses, realizing what one of the objections might be.] And while I'm sure our party planning team would have a lot of fun setting up a seance party, I think our need for information is more important.
