Kiara blinked, craning her neck as she eyed the sink, it was filled to the brim with water and soap foam bubbles.

-"What would you ever need a big-ass shark for ..." She murmured as she unconsciously voiced her thoughts, taking the kettle that Eclipse handed over.

The angelic lady filled it with clean water and put it on the stove to boil, then after that she opened a random cabinet and a white hand popped out, holding a plain dark blue mug. As she turned it around there was a print of a constellation.

-"Huh, the Orion belt. Or as outer folks like to call it, the biggest waist of space." Kiara chuckled briefly at her own joke before sighing and setting it down on the counter.

She then proceeded to pull various ziplock bags, small packets, and containers from out of her sweatpants pocket, opening some to sniff the scent of herbs, and dumping a precise amount of everything into the mug.

Kiara took a look around to see how the party was going.

-"It sounds lonely to throw parties with only yourself, but who am I to judge, whatever suits you best."

The kettle whistled loudly. The entity turned off the heating element and the kettle was quickly removed. She poured now boiling water into the cup.

-"Now I let it steep for six minutes, and then voilà, detoxicating tea with camomile." The angelic entity smiled and began humming again while adjusting her banjo, not forgetting to set up a mental timer.

Cherry glanced down at the plate with brownies, then at the kitchen, then back at the plate. Maybe she could bring it to MC and Poldara and ask if they wanted some.

She resolved herself to stroll back to her dorm.

-"Well that was exciting" Luz commented, shutting the novel she had completed reading.

The stack of books that had been read now piled up on the small table. Luz sent them back to their original places on the shelves with a clap.

Chandeler was sitting down, scribbling down his findings in a coded language.

The candles blew themselves out and the curtains now flung open with a ruffling sound, allowing the warm light of the midday to seep effortlessly through the big windows. A fresh breeze blew through the leaves and the clouds moved slowly across the blue sky. Not a single sign of stormy weather. From there the view was given onto the estate's garden. The day was passing pretty calmly, at least for now.

Eclipse nodded, he couldn't help but be amused at the mug Kiara picked, "you know, this mug was given to MA by Belarus on their third anniversary," he said, "when the two first met, MA had amnesia after encountering an ambush from Ukraine back in the war, he ended up wandering into Belarus and she saved our life. However, Ukraine forced Bel to keep things hush-hush so MA wouldn't know who he really was, or anything about the war or our family, so Bel nicknamed him Orion, after the stars on our wings."

Eclipse was becoming more somber so he ended up dismissing all of the clones, cleaning up after the party as he leaned against the counter, "amnesia affects me differently, I could remember everything, it just made me unable to communicate with MA, I tried to induce him to go feral so I could be freed and fix everything, but Bel beat me to it and covered our eyes to calm us down. It was weird to not be able to do anything to help your host, to be stuck in their head and be unable to talk, just to watch and hope that they remember who they are by themselves. Have you ever had that issue with Luz, to be stuck in the back seat and powerless to drive?"
