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.]

[Gogol is here, briefly, with a very special gift!

It’s a (shoddily) handmade piñata, shaped just like your esteemed Todd! Just the thing to lift everyone’s spirits!

What’s inside, though? That’s for you to find out!]

Do you have something to hit that with?

[There's no hesitation in her voice, but why would there be?]

Of course! A clown is always prepared!

[And out from his sleeve slides a ruler, that keeps going and going and - no, wait, it’s just a regular sized one.]

Here you go! You can pretend it’s a bladed weapon, if you wish.

[Go nuts, kid.]

Cool, thanks!

[And she's taking a hard swack at the thing.]

Very ferocious! Remind me not to get on your bad side!

[Keep going Maya, you’ll need to hit Todd a whole lot more! ...if you can stand to.]

[ He's still mad at Golgol, mind you, because he hasn't forgotten what he said around Yoosung's dead body.

But guess who's always up for punching things that look like Todd? ]

You actually made it?

Are you surprised?

Actually, yeah. I didn't expect you to go through with it.

[ ... ]

I'm not going to need any weapon to whack it with, though. Just make sure it's in one spot, and that'll be good enough.

[ His hand clenches into a fist; he's gonna punch it! ]

[He can’t blame Terra for that first part. He didn’t expect to go through with it either.

He holds the Piñata steady.]

Go, go! Blow me away!

Here it comes!

[ He'll be punching the thing. Hard.

Yeah, it's probably already starting to crack open... ]

Oh, my.

[That’s an impressive sight. Another punch at that force would probably be overkill, but...]

One more time.

Alright--take this!

[ That encourages him all the more for whatever reason (besides the fact it has Todd's face on it), and with another punch from him it's probably already been split open -- what are we looking at here for the "prizes"? ]

[Todd cracks and splits and inside there’s...

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.]

Surpriiiise!

[ Congratulations, it's fucking nothing! ]

...That was kind of underwhelming, but I can't deny it wasn't a little satisfying.

[ The whole breaking it open. ]

Hahaha! It was good, wasn't it?

Looks just like him.

[ Y E A H. ]

Who gets first swing?

It’s a free for all! Go hog wild!

[ Excellent...

Akira takes a minute to point the piñata thoughtfully, and then he grabs the ruler and delivers a solid, satisfying smack to the side of its neck.

...

That felt good, yes. ]

[Though a hearty smack, it doesn’t quite smash Todd apart yet. What would the fun be in a piñata that breaks so easily?]

Having fun?

It's pretty therapeutic, yeah. Did you want a swing?

[ Otherwise he'll just keep going. ]

There’s something tragic about hitting your own Piñata, don’t you think?

[By all means go wild, Akira.]

Not when it looks like this guy, no.

[ But he's going to whale on it anyway. ]

Just think of it as my gift to you, then. A prize for all your great participation thus far!

[ Oh.

Hey. ]

You thought of a prize!

Well, Terra helped me out a little bit. He didn’t think my other ideas would be quite...suitable.

[You all should pay your thanks for that.]
