at the end of the river, the sundown beams
[Well...that trial was most certainly a thing, now wasn't it.
It's probably a while after the trial that some notes will be going underneath people's doors, written in a nice, clean scrawl--]
[True to the word, there's plenty of food to go around--potato stew courtesy of Estelle, and curry courtesy of Sayaka. There's coffee and tea out as well, for anyone to drink, and...well, it's more or less an optional thing. After today, some might need it.]

For anyone who hasn't gotten anything to eat, there will be food and refreshments provided in the dining room courtesy of Estelle-san and I. Feel free to take as much as you need.
Please stay strong, everyone.

This has been an awful day for her, and she doesn't want anyone else to see her crying.]

I made some potato stew if you would like me to bring some to you.

Yeah, she doesn't go into the dining room. She sits at one of the kitchen counters with a chair, seemingly playing with the rice and the vegetables. Or. Not? Those who get closer will see she's actually crafting something with her food. Last week, she had some smiley moments, but she has plenty of reasons not to be doing great right now.
Still, being party-adjacent isn't that bad, right? And she'll get out of the way quickly if anyone else wants the space.
After night falls and she has to leave the kitchen, she can be found in Room 27. The lights are on well into the night.]

People need to eat and keep their energy after how emotional it was to experience two deaths.
That’s her thought process. She’s glad Sayaka may have thought the same thing.
She’s not doing it for praise, since the reason she’s doing it is entirely selfish—to keep her thoughts occupied with something else. Escapism.
She’ll hit up the dining hall once everything has been prepared and eat the stew she made. While she may not be the best company right now, she still might talk a bit.
After dinner’s eaten, she heads to the laundry room to attempt to wash her school uniform. Caren taught her how to use the washer so… it’s a strange way of honoring her memory. From what it looks like, Estelle knows exactly what she’s doing and will wait in there until her load is done.
She’ll lastly head to room 6 with her wet clothes to hang them up to dry and spend the rest of the night alone there if she can. People are free to knock on her door and she’ll talk, but again, she can’t promise she’ll be good company. She’s… just tired now.]
room 6
Then, Yuri proceeds to track Estelle down to see how she's doing now. Though the raven-haired man doubts she's in cheerful spirits, even though some time had passed since the climax of the trial.
He'll rap his hand gently against her door. ]
Hey, Estelle. You there?

Room 6
It's been a while since she made any kind of dessert--Sayaka's pretty good at cooking, and while she can do savory foods well, sweets are something she tends to avoid to keep her figure. But she's made cookies a few times, and well...maybe the girl could use something sweet. Sayaka knocks.]
Estelle-san...? Am I disturbing you?

Laundry room
It's for that reason Rin doesn't approach her. Geez, let the poor girl grieve in peace. And so it's only by coincidence they run into each other like this, Rin here for the same purpose as Estelle herself; not in tribute, of course, but pure function. Wearing the school uniforms they were provided, she's holding her typical casual-wear in one arm as she enters the room, heading to the nearest free washer before she spots Estelle there.
Oh. Awkward.]
Is it fine if I use this?
[Rin points with the same hand she holds her clothes in at the free washing machine.]

But still. If it's for the needs of many, her own problems don't matter. She has to do something, and this'll get her mind off it.
Never the less, Sayaka's at the seat closest to the dining room door, greeting anyone who happens to come in with a smile and a wave--she's not much for words, right now, and it's...probably clear that her expression is a little more strained. She'll chat up anyone who wants to chat, but...she's not really gonna be all that social.
...She does leave a little later, though, and go to the ballroom to properly get her feelings out. No one wants to be in here after what happened, so it seems like the safest option--she hides herself behind the piano, curls up, and cries. She just...needs this, for a while.]

...but she hears something else. A sobbing. She could leave. She could, if the person wants to be alone, but god. God, she just kind of needs to...not. Soft as she can, Alex approaches and the closer she gets, the more she can tell just who's there. ]
...Sayaka? [ Oh yeah. Definitely didn't want to leave. ]

They cleaned up the whole scene, huh?
Well, she's just going to take up residence at the piano there and just... play. She doesn't know what she's doing or why, really. Can't remember a damn song Caren sang, and she isn't precisely accomplished, trying to remember how she played things a century ago. So she just plays random tunes through much of the night, pausing to look thoughtful.
She'll be here well past 10PM when it's officially night. Around midnight, she'll shift to the Foyer and stare at the clock there. She considers sketching, but she doesn't know what to sketch? She'll eventually go back to the room of hers which doesn't feel like a room, but she seems to mostly be content to skulk around at night.
Approach her whenever! You might have things to say to her or maybe you're just concerned you've never visibly seen her eat anything? Tonight, or any other day. ]
Ballroom
As much as she'd set up the dining room thing for...well, anything who needed it, the more it just...struck her so wrong, that she was...celebrating. That's what it was, wasn't it? She was celebrating someone's death, and it made her sick, and the more she thought about it the more she wanted to cry, and--
...well. When she opens the door, she...certainly wasn't expecting to see Elda there, and it leaves her at an impasse. She practically came in here with the intention of sobbing her eyes out, but--]
Sh--should I come back later...?

Alex is going to spend a good deal of time in her room. A...rather good deal, but eventually the desire to be with people outweighs everything else crushing down on her, so out she goes, after a few long and awkward hours of...whatever it is she's doing in her room.
There's not much she wants to do other than eat. Or try to eat. Hell. Nothing seems appetizing right now. Something something symptoms of grief, she knows, she's been to all the therapy possible--
You can find her in the dining hall picking at her food and then later in the kitchen, digging around for...something. She's got salt in front of her and...are those potatoes? There's already potatoes out there, girl, what are you doing...
Towards the end of the day, she's back in her room, with the door open, just laying on her bed and staring at the ceiling. Lost in thought. ]

[ Even later he can be found in room 18, with his door open and chilling by laying back on the bed. He doesn't seem averse to company, considering. If anything it might be an invitation if someone wants to talk but not where so many people are. ]

Afterwards he starting picking through the food, giving himself a generous plate that's probably partially for anyone who looks like they're not about to get food for themselves.
Even later, he can be found by himself, still in the dining room, apparently writing something in a notebook he found in the storage room.]

But again, Sayaka is running this, and it was an incredibly restrained invitation, and so he'll be in the dining room eventually – though he's seeming incredibly agitated tonight and he seems to know it, given that he's keeping his distance and just...watching everyone. Cabanela's whole thing with the candles, everyone sitting around looking morose unless they're trying very hard to pretend that they're not, and pretty much everything that everyone has decided to be right now.
He's still not eating anything; he doesn't need to eat much, he's gone without before and it's not like it's going to kill him to skip out. He is drinking coffee, though, so much so that it's kind of a wonder that he's not giving himself the jitters; that aside, he's got a fair amount of paper with him that he's working on from time to time, whether he's actually writing something or just idly sketching things. It doesn't seem to calm him down any, but it's keeping him more or less together until he can figure out what he's supposed to do with himself.
An answer doesn't seem to be forthcoming, either way; when he decides he's sick of just sort of sitting there vibrating, he'll get up and move to the foyer - he'll be in there for quite some time tonight, sitting down somewhere and just kind of. Staring. At that metal bulkhead again.
...He's around tonight, but he's very much off in his head, more or less. He's not doing altogether badly, granted... Just not certain what he should be doing with himself.]

Kimblee is someone she didn't think would look so shook up, at at least he appears to be agitated so out of nothing more than sheer curiosity, she approaches him.]
Are you alright, Mr. Kimblee?
[She would refer to him by first name, but it seems others use his surname, so she figures she should conform to that.]

...honestly, this has been a bit of a problem thus far, since he's used to bending his hair dry, but.... well, normally he spends more time in his room letting things dry. You know. So he's just kind of wearing one ponytail as he eats some curry in the dining hall and just... looking kind of grim, perhaps. He's not terribly visibly shaken... or at least, not as much as the others, but there's definitely an air of frustration to him before he's approached, at which point he'll put his Politics Face on.]
Are you holding up alright? Today has been... difficult for all of us, so it's fine if you need to cool off somewhere.

She also has some curry, which she's gingerly trying? It's not bad, but Femt's parties always involve a lot more Western food, because he likes to think he's some sort of European count. Beyondian food isn't like this either—it's more, let's say, in your face, sometimes quite literally—but this isn't... bad.
...She's not really here for the "stay strong" thing, she's actually of the opinion that they did good today and this should be a reward, not a big sad thing, but there's a lot of upset people and while she might not care to read a room, necessarily, there's no fun in going out of her way to provoke people who just want to cry, either. So, well. She's here for food she doesn't have to make herself and to watch people look mopey.
Except that... gets... boring, so if you don't catch her in the dining room, you can find her laying in the hallway in the dormitory! Like, on the floor. She's drawing on some paper she's stolen from the storage room, because Aligula hates trees and is really determined to use all of it. Most of them look like... monsters, but like, very simply drawn ones. It's not like she's blocking anyone from going to their rooms, she's a little too small for that, but she's in the way and doesn't really seem enticed to move. ]

So Luca is there, off to the side eating some of the food. He doesn't look particularly upset or anything, but something is clearly on his mind, if the look he is giving his potato stew is anything to go by.
He also does give the curry a courtesy try, but quickly chokes on it. Not because it's bad, but because it's spicier than he was expecting. It takes him a moment to swallow it, and then he is quickly drinking a loooot of tea.]

Other than that, she'll be in her room. Door's open, but she's not making an effort to seek anyone out. Because she'd really liked Caren and she'd been okay with Jean, and everything just really, really sucks. ]

When Luca returns to his room for the night, he notices that Katniss' door is open, so he decides to investigate. He peers in, then knocks on the doorframe before speaking.]
