11 PM - Kitchen Thread

[eraser_rain]

[All characters have relocated to the kitchen where they've set envelopes on the table; characters were encouraged (but not required on any game-based level) to put anything besides their welcome message/map into the envelope. Fake outs, of course, allowed. Separate thread by requests since it's been about two months. If your character put anything in their envelope, a reminder that you can post an anonymous comment with the contents of an envelope here, just be sure to PM sheep_dog to let them know you did in case there's any questions. Once your character's made a reply we'll assume you've had a chance to leave any message. Feel free to leave your anonymous messages in or outside the thread.

Characters can put their vote-off post on the bulletin board after the kitchen thread, but due to OOC issues Haneoka had to be the one voted off the first round. We've confirmed enough characters will vote her off anyway but feel free to list whoever else you want. You can do that anonymously too if you prefer.]

[If there was ever a testament of Light's patience, it's his calm demeanor even now.

He steps toward Atsushi.] Then, can I use the lighter?

[airlynx]

[Atsushi gently puts the rock down, pausing his work, and slowly ambles towards Light, putting a firm, helping hand on his shoulder.]

I know yer a smart one, fam; but lemme have my glory too, 'kay? You've been leadin' the proceedin's up to now, an' I respect ya for it. For now, just sit back, chilaxe, and lemme do the hard work.

[Atsushi grins brightly and offers a thumbs-up. If you squint, you can even see shoujo bubbles floating around his head.]

[andeatit]

You're right. [Light offers a warm smile.] In truth, there's a reason I wanted to hurry. I didn't want to admit it in front of an audience, but...

The legal drinking age is 20 in Japan. I'm only 18 so I haven't reached that age yet, but I did start university. Soon, I'll be going to drinking parties as part of making connections. Since we're probably not officially in Japan anymore, and you seem like someone with knowledge, I was hoping you could teach me some strategy. Starting tomorrow, things will get dangerous so tonight really will be best. I wanted to finish quickly and get started, but it was a silly idea.

[airlynx]

Fam, you have come to the right place. I knew there was some spunk in ya behind yer hoity-toity self!

[Atsushi completely abandons his efforts at making a fire and sits cross-legged in front of Light, motioning for him to sit down, too.]

Y'see, mostly any drinkin's bearable if ya make it fun. An' what better way of makin' it fun than doin' drinkin' games?! Mah favorite is...

[THE REST OF THIS EXPLANATION IS CENSORED BECAUSE NOT ALL PLAYERS HERE ARE OF DRINKING AGE AND SHOULD NOT BE PRIVY TO THIS EXPERT DRINKING KNOWLEDGE.]

[andeatit]

Ah wait... [He reaches out to catch him before Atsuhi could sit down.] While we talk, let Mikami-san use the lighter to burn the paper.

[eraser_rain]

And then I'd like to get some sleep.

[On that note, he will reach to try to take the lighter for himself, moving to burn the paper over the sink swiftly and efficiently.]

[andeatit]

[Light watches as the pages go up in flames. Finally, he steps away from the two.]

Then, that should handle our end.

[eraser_rain]

I'll be sleeping in the office as I have been. I'll leave assuring he doesn't set the house on fire to you as his keeper for the evening.

[So he says, only proceeding to stare rather than actually turn to his destination.]

[andeatit]

[He shakes his head.]

If you keep the lighter, I'll take the rocks back outside. I need to prepare for bed myself.

[eraser_rain]

You'll remember your own vote for Haneoka-san. [From the kitchen he can see the bulletin board.] Nobody else has yet. Be sure his is placed too. Saving as many innocent as possible is our goal until there's an enemy to redirect our focus on.

[andeatit]

Of course. [It's a plan he's already agreed to.] I'll make sure Haneoka-san goes home.

[eraser_rain]

[And off he goes, pinning up his vote, glancing back towards the kitchen at them again and finally retreating to the office.]
