AFTER-ICE-CREAM-PARTY

[pecker]

[Boy everyone is so bloodthirsty tonight. And now a kid is dead and another is gonna execute. Do y'all need some baskin robbins, because it seems like you do!!! So before everyone can leave, Niwatori raises her voice louder than it's gone before now to draw a little attention, and then deflates immediately when she actually gets it.]

Excuse me, please! U-um... this case was really hard, and I think we could all use some time to cool our heads before we finally go back. So... ice cream? Who's with me?

[she'll lead the pack there and anyone else can go home or to visit Clarisse on the set of Orange is the new Black.

Niwa's not that good of a host though, she just gets her own ice cream and lets everyone serve themselves. Who is she to limit your freedom. (Someone who doesn't want to be partly responsible for a Millium Monstrosity, that's who.)]

[Niwatori's treating herself with a sundae done similarly to a Japanese parfait, with alternating layers of fruits and ice cream and a big dollop of whipped topping. Although she seemed as nervous as ever when traveling with the group there, her nerves do relax as she takes the first bite. Letting out a little sigh, she fidgets with her spoon as she glances around at the others who came with her. She's actually never done this kind of thing before. It's weird. Should she be trying harder to take everyone's mind off of things? Well, for now, she'll just try to make pleasant with those who have come.]

Thanks for coming with.

[ Little known fact: delicious food can be used to lure Azura to places she would not otherwise go to.

Which is why she's here, actually. She's picking at a cup of Neapolitan while absently staring out the window. ]

...you extended the invitation, so it would be rude of me not to take it.

[pecker]

O-oh, I see. [sheesh, make it sound like an obligation, why don't you.]

Well, since you're here, I hope you find a bit of relaxation away from the chaos.

[ such is the unintentionally brusque nature of azura mcvalla ]

Mmm. I fear there's not much for the lot of us to gain by getting involved, at this point.

[ the executioner's been picked, and Clarisse is...Clarisse ]

[Wayne does turn up eventually. He even copies her order, he doesn't rush like the last time he ate this stuff though. He learnt the brain freeze lesson then.]

No problem... Geez, I'm two for two on getting this shit wrong.

[pecker]

[Well now, that's interesting. It's not often that someone copies her... then again, she supposes everyone who followed her here sort of did. The fruits of taking initiative. But also, her sundae is the best here, so she cannot blame him for wanting to share in her good taste. They can both take their time.]

I-I'm honestly amazed I got it right. There's a lot of stuff I was overthinking. You're better off not doing that... that's what I figured out at the end.

[Ice cream, the fanciest thing Wayne's ever eaten.]

Really. I'm not even sure if I was thinking enough to call it over thinking. I mean something seemed off about it.

[pecker]

[Niwa doesn't eat a lot of really fancy things, so that wouldn't even be that weird to her... but ice cream is great, and she's eating hers with enthusiasm.]

Well, that's likely because of all the lies that were told by Clarisse-san, right?

[It's what Niwa expects people to do, but it still always feels off when one person is lying.]

Things are quite serious now. Unlike Nine-san, we've seen a killer who will try to get away with it until the very end.

[streetwolf]

[Wayne's still going to treat it like its about to bite him.]

Yeah. It's going to be a pain in the ass. And it's not like anyones just going to admit if it was them.

Other than just do what you guys told me to, I wasn't sure what was going. [Being a suspect isn't fun.]
