Doki Doki After Party Club

[myliteratureclub]

[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.]

Ah, see, there's your problem. Being messed up's got nothing to do with being strong or weak. You're looking at it totally wrong.

[lovedanime]

[He literally just gives him this huge stare like he said up and down have nothing to do with what floor of a building you're on]

[curseoclock]

I mean, come on. Look at me. I'm all kinds of messed up, but I sure wouldn't say I'm weak, either!

[at least he's... aware...?]

[lovedanime]

[MITARAI IS

REALLY

NOT SURE HOW TO TAKE THIS AWARENESS]

Well... there are many kinds of strength... but... ummm... whatever kind of "being messed up" is, um, still different from how I want to be... you know?

[curseoclock]

Hmm...

[He gives this some serious (we think) thought for a moment.]

It's a shame we're stuck here and all, because usually I'd say that's easily enough changed with a little curse. Too bad.

[lovedanime]

C-Curse?

[He recoils way too much practically like his reaction to all the death stuff at the trial]

[curseoclock]

Yeah? You know, a little dark magic. It's kinda my specialty.

[lovedanime]

That's...

[you'd think he was going to say not real but]

Nefarious! Isn't it?

[curseoclock]

What, nooooooo. No.

...Little bit, yeah.

[lovedanime]

Um... I'm really not sure I agree with that sort of thing at all... though I don't know exactly what you mean by a curse...

[curseoclock]

Oh, you know, like... curses? Dark magic, hexes, jinxes?

You take some ingredients, a little hocus pocus, and bam! You can do aaaaaaall sorts of things to a person!

[lovedanime]

That explains a little bit, but the important part is obviously what "sorts of things"!

[curseoclock]

Well, that depends on the curse, obviously. It can be small stuff, like making someone itchy or changing their hair color. It can be something like making them fall asleep or rewinding time on something a little bit.

Oh, and then there's just your regular old death curses, obviously.
