Doki Doki After Party Club

[Later into the evening, everyone will find familiar handwritten notes on their doors. It's pretty obvious who it's from:]

"Please come to the cafeteria if you don't want to be alone or talk some things out. Emiya (Shirou) will be preparing food. You're also welcome to bring your notebooks if you'd rather just write with company." ---Monika
[Those who decide to come will find nothing has really changed in the cafeteria, but Monika sitting at one of the tables while Shirou cooks in the kitchen. She has a new stack of notebooks and pens with her in case someone needs it. Monika does her best to greet everyone with a smile. The only real comfort though is the smell of good food.]

[Well she said she'd drink some coffee. But in truth she's doing more inhaling of the coffee than actually consuming it. The smell is somewhat therapeutic.

...nothing bad has happened to her yet so. She's... she doing. And honestly she'd rather spend this last time with the Apprentices than anywhere else if this is really it.]

[HELLO FRIEND. Monika is going to join her when she seems a little less crowded.]

Hello Megumi. Do you want some more coffee?

...thank you, Monika. I'd really like that.

[The company is... it helps. She feels like... almost like she belongs here. That was a feeling the Prospects and Apprentices both have always given her.]

[She offers a smile and gets up for a moment to grab her another cup.]

Here: I remember how you liked it last time!

...you really remembered that?

[She smiles, warmed by the gesture.]

Thank you... for helping put this together for everyone.

[ hey guess what.....its a corgi....there's a corgi with connor. ]

I bet he'd want to sit with you.

...?! Calleto?!

[THAT'S HER DOG???]

So you got him... that's... such a relief.

[He's in good hands if something happens to him.]

Yes. I've been busy.

[ i'd say i mean that innocently but i cant actually lie ]

[ Today has been seemingly setback after setback, but they need to just push on, don't they? ]

Hey, do you mind if I join you?

Not at all. Please do.

[She always has room for one of her students... friends...

...it's complicated.]

[ He's so awkward about this but today's events don't help in making it otherwise. He just doesn't really want this talk to be so...dour. ]

...So, a piece of munny for your thoughts?

[ NAILED IT. ]

[It's a few minutes of silence, after Viral sits down near her, before he says anything. To all appearances, it's just the most convenient place to sit.

But after he's shoved most of the plateful of whatever meat he got into his face - ]

I don't know how I feel about a battle fought with subterfuge.

Think of me what you will...

But it doesn't matter now. You can call me whatever you like. But if you want my family given name... then you can have it.

My name is Vivienne Gallivan, former Robotics Professor and Administrator.

Whichever you'd rather be called.

[It's... perhaps surprisingly vehement.]

I don't know if there's any honor in the way you fight. Not when there's probably no other way for you to do so.

But I won't turn down an ally who isn't actively dishonorable, either. You're... trying.

[He doesn't understand humans. Or whatever she might be.]

They are both names of value to me. The name Gallivan belonged to the teacher who raised me— and the identity I assumed and the name... he created for me.

But... perhaps Megumi is the better name... for now. Until I see what Oswald’s next move will be.

[he just stares]

What?

I’m sorry I... I meant to tell you. He wanted me to tell you, but then this happened and...

...so...

Um.... hello.

Um, I don't know if you'd want any, but I don't know if you'd want something to eat as well...

...that's very sweet of you, thank you Shirou. I... I'd really like that.

You don't happen to have any kind of food that you like in particular, do you? I've been pretty much making whatever's available.

[There was a lot of stuff said at the execution that put questions into the minds of a suspect. Mitarai ends up approaching the woman despite the trepidation thrumming through his body.]

Excuse me, this might be an odd question, but... do you happen to know a Mishima-kun?

...Yes. Like Grantaire, he was my student and I... I wasn't able to help Mishima-kun either.

I see...

[It was a likely seeming possibility. Mitarai speaks very seriously.]

If you were telling the truth to Osomatsu about not seeing everything coming, then you probably wouldn't know... Kim-kun said something important to me... That he wasn't able to help Mishima-kun. But Mishima-kun told him to treasure his life more than that.

I wasn't really a good friend to Kim-kun, so I can't be sure what he'd be thinking now, but I thought you would want to know. Right...?

[It would've felt awkward stepping into that moment right after the execution, so seeing her around here makes things a little easier. So he walks up to her with his hands in his pockets, not really bothering to sit just yet.]

...Hey. What was all that about?

[ Coffee helps in any situation, yes no?

Akira slips into the seat next to her, but doesn't say anything. Instead, he just shifts his leg slightly and bumps his knee against hers.

Hello again. ]
