Lady still holds court in the plum parlor, but she seems calmer now, less tired. The food has been taken away, leaving only desserts: beautiful little cakes that taste like sorrow, like grief, or like joy.
This is the only safe place left in the court.

Shun Kuroda 25/25
It had been a long a** night so far, and Shun hadn't really been able to relax at all since coming to this damn ball. One of the safe rooms should give him some time to hopefully rest for a little while, but he didn't have his hopes up. He ducked on into the Plum Parlor, looking around. Thankfully, it wasn't crowded at all right now.
Letting out a breath, he went over and sat down, running his hand through his hair. He paused once more as he felt the horns.
He forgot those were there.

Juniper Wilcox (Maskless) | 25/25 | EnteringJuniper found her way to the Plum Parlor. So much had happened that the young woman was beginning to grow weary of the night. Still, andraneline and the hope that things would, somehow, turn out alright was keeping her going. She was on a mission at this point. She wanted to see Hux and the others out of here safely but she had no idea how to go about that. With a heaved sigh she plopped down in one of the arm chairs in the room, ignoring the deserts that had been put out. "What a damn night." She muttered softly as blue eyes gazed around the room. EVERYONE Chat with Jun! smile Let's plan/plot!

Chel | 15/25 | What Up Homies
Chel slogged into the room with as much gusto as a wet paper bag. Temperance was still on her arm but once they arrived she gave the girl's arm a pat to do as she pleased.
She glanced over at Shun, alarmed by the blood she saw on his clothes, but only took to a chair somewhere near her so she could better assess his situation in secret.
The slowly forming circles under her eyes and the pale demeanor of her already ghost white skin let on that Chel was still as tired as she had been before. Yet nonetheless she plainly asked, "What the s**t's goin' on?" She didn't like heady silences and was ready to break this one. "Why'd they push us all outside like that?"

Jamie Delacroix | 20/25 | sulking in here
After walking with Shiloh, talking with him, Jamie had found himself here. Part of him hadn't wanted to return, but Shiloh had urged him. It's a safe place, he said, and while Jamie believed him that didn't mean he wanted to be here alone despite the familiar faces. His friend had things he needed to do, but they could've stayed together, right? Or maybe that was just wishful thinking on Jamie's part.
He stood back from the small number of people who had already entered and he eyed Lady from across the room. At least she seemed to be doing better than she had when he'd last seen her. She'd been so tired. Jamie was frowning; there were things he wanted to talk to her about, too, but... for now he stayed, restless and vaguely uncomfortable against the wall.

connor hill - 25/25 - entering and still basically clueless With his top hat tucked under one arm (the damn thing hadn't fit properly since he'd sprouted a pair of horns), Connor sauntered into the room looking every bit as over this evening as he felt. Though he had gleaned some interesting little facts here and there through the course of the night, he still felt no further ahead in understanding what he, or any of them, were even there for. He was still new to this, didn't have any relationships with the ones with doubles or reasons to really care what happened to them. Was he okay with murder? No, of course not. Did he feel particularily invested in trying to put a stop to it? Not really. But that wasn't to say he wouldn't at least still try to help, as long as it didn't put his own a** into the fire. A glance around showed that a couple of familiar faces were already in the parlor, and Connor made his way over towards one in particular, Juniper, putting himself in one of the arm chairs near hers. "Haven't seen you around nearly the whole night, darling. Keeping busy?" He asked, noting the fact that she was currently without a mask.

[ Maskless Temperance: 25/25 fidgety] Temperance patted Chel's arm right back and released the other girl. It just... wouldn't do to hang about on a girl. In the brighter light of the parlor, it was even clearer that Chel was tired as ********. Temperance frowned. She hated to say it, but there might be more important things at hand. "I think... I think it's the choosing. I mean it's, um, the only reason I can think of."

Shun Kuroda 25/25
Shun grunted as more and more people were filtering in. So much for getting some quiet time.
"Right. For whoever the hell the 7th member of the tithe selection council will be, right?" he murmured, rubbing his head.
Yes, there was some blood on his clothing, by his right shoulder, but the way he moved didn't indicate that he was currently in pain.

Juniper Wilcox (Maskless) | 25/25/ | Conversing with the groupNo sooner had she made herself comfortable, noting Shun was in the same room, more people began arriving. Just about everyone seemed aggravated or perturbed in some way which meant she was in good company here. Connor drew the blondes attention as he made himself comfortable in a chair near hers. She offered him a smile and a one shoulder shrug."You could definately say it's been an eventful night, that's for sure. What have you been doing?" Her eyes slipped upwards to the horns on his head and she couldn't help the words that slipped from her mouth. "Getting a wee bit horny?" She chuckled, needing the laugh. Council? Juniper's attention was pulled back tot he others in the room. "The 7th member? Oh right, I think I heard a bit about that in passing..." She paused as she thought about it for a moment. "So, this 7th member, anyone have a clue as to whom we should gun for for the position? Personally, I think this whole murder thing is s**t. Not to mention the unmasked doubles who have been treated like trash this entire night. None of them deserve to be the possible sacrifice."

[Unmasked Temperance: 25/25]
"Can we, um, choose one of the unmasked guys - not the doubles, but the real people - for the seventh? It would save them from being a potential tithe, I think."

Chel | 15/25 | Wot
"Why they lettin' us choose it? Seems fishy as ******** when we ain't even s'posed t'be here."
She leaned back in her chair, quiet after that. She still felt like they were playing right into the court's hands.

Shun Kuroda 25/25
"Apparently they need one more person on the council to decide who gets to be a tithe. They will be picking who that is, but we can make this work in our favor. I do not think one of the unmasks would help a whole lot," he stated, giving a shrug.

Lady 25/25
"They won't choose someone without a mask," says Lady. "Or a fetch. Or... anyone who isn't one of you." She gestures to the humans in the room. "Getting a mask would be a good idea right about now." She touches her own mask: a fox, recognizable as coming from Jeremiah earlier.

Juniper Wilcox | 25/25 | Hmmmm
Juniper looked at Lady as she offered more information to the group. She leaned back in her chair, arms folded over her chest. "So I guess that leaves a few of us out of the running? I have to admit though, I am curious about the actual danger we guests who are unmasked are in. While I was dealing with some of the masked doubles, they made it very clear they were in no interest in hurting me since I was a 'guest' but were quite interested in me either destroying or handing over my mask."
She waved a hand. "Anyway, what would be the plan for the person we nominate? I am sure we could come up with something amongst all of us here."

[20/25 | LEILA]: MOM TIME [25/25 | EVE]: MOM TIMELeila arrives and so do Eve, who's still insistent on remaining a fox for the time being. They see Lady and make a beeline for her so that doting upon can commence.
