[Harrow is sitting in one of the chairs, looking tiredly at the group assembled. Why did Eleanor bring a dog to this.]

. . . Well. I do apologize for wasting everyone's texts.

[dotcom]

[ he is also on one of the chairs, his head down on the table. he looks up when harrow talks. ]

We would have run out anyway.

[toesies]

You're okay. It was for—

[She cuts herself off with a yawn, blinking.]

It was for a good cause... Mm.

[bonetiddies]

[She looks. Too embarrassed to even look at Takeru.]

It was good of you to help me look. In the future, you don't need to put yourself to the trouble.

[bonetiddies]

[She's resting her cheek on her hand, smearing her paint.]

Was it. The cause of Santa? The mysterious Santa pictogram? I hate this week.

[dotcom]

Hopefully something like that won't happen again.

[ he says this like he does not actually believe it ]

[bonetiddies]

People are becoming bolder about using curses strategically, so if it doesn't happen again I'll know I haven't made myself enough of a threat.

[. . .]

This instance was not strategic whatsoever, of course.

[dotcom]

I assume someone was just being an asshole.

[bonetiddies]

Yes, but it's fine. They confessed to it, and I'm feeling particularly kind this week.

[toesies]

No, no. [Her head keeps bobbing, tiredly.] Between that, when we were freaking out about... Envy...

[As soon as she says that, she passes out and smacks face first onto the table.]

[bonetiddies]

Sheila, be careful. Watch your head.

[dotcom]

Well, that'll change next week.

[bonetiddies]

Perhaps. But. . .

[Ugh. Is she going to say something even more embarrassing that Santa.]

It wasn't intended badly. It was a return volley for something I'd done to him in the first place. That the effect was as unsettling as it was for me isn't something he could have predicted.

I'm inclined to let him sweat and think the other shoe will drop on Monday, but I'm not actually inclined to hold a grudge this time.

[dotcom]

[ he considers this, and then just nods his head. ]

That's fair.

At least, you didn't get swept up into something too dangerous during the time frame, so there's that.

[bonetiddies]

Aside from the part where all of the Avatars returned in various puddles of gore on the floor? But yes - at least it expired before curfew, not that that idiot knew how long it lasted when he did it.

[dotcom]

[ he yawns, closing his eyes for a second, and then reopening them blearily. ]

You were still fairly competent even with Santa there during all of that.

[chevaleros]

[ sleepily: ]

Sounds like Harrowhark has a soft spot.

[bonetiddies]

[She's leaving heavily on her hand, though she raises an eyebrow slightly at that. Kind Sasazuka. . .wow.]

Well. Good. I would hate to have been a burden on all of you.

[toesies]

[She lifts a hand, just groaning.]

I'm fine. This just suuuucks.

[bonetiddies]

[Pouting, but leaning her head on Vira's shoulder.]

If I told you who it was, you'd take that back.

[toesies]

[She is making such a face, but.]

Good. He deserves to live in fear.

[bonetiddies]

[Yawning.]

And he will. And he will.

[bonetiddies]

I know, I know. [Shutting her eyes to rest for just a moment.] I wonder what it means?

[dotcom]

[ he ended up leaving that shit show a little earlier than others did but he knows harrow was doing her Best ]

No, that role was probably filled by others.

[chevaleros]

[ that's so nice by sasazuka standards... is it the fact that they're all so sneepy, or niceness week, or both? ]

Are you warming up to us, Sasazuka? I hadn't known you went looking for Santa Claus with her.

[ on account of losing her mind all wednesday ]
