at the end of the river, the sundown beams

[destage]

[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--]

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.

♥ Estelle and Sayaka

[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.]

[ Sometime later, Yuri can be found in the dining room, enjoying the potato stew and curry. When someone walks on by, though, he sets the food to the side and gives them a bit of a wave. ]

Sure was a lot back there, huh?

[ 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. ]

dining room which i originally typed as dinging room

[paralogical]

[ Ok, who are you and why are you waving at him. He stares for a second before shrugging. ] Yeah. [ ... ] Least it was quick.

ding a ling ling!!

[hesperos]

Altogether it was, yeah.

[ He thought the execution was really... meh, you know what, he doesn't feel like talking about that part right now. ]

So, you enjoying the food?

[paralogical]

[ He has his priorities here and that's one of them. Was short, A+, wouldn't want to sit through again but probably has to anyway. ]

Haven't tried it yet.

[hesperos]

[ It's okay, Yuri doesn't really wanna sit through any more of them either. ]

Huh, well, giving either of the dishes a try can't hurt. Personally, I gotta say the potato stew's really good and the curry hits the spot.

[hentopan]

How do you figure?

[ Terumi's not making to grab any food. ]

[hesperos]

It wasn't as long as it could've been, but some of that was quite a bit to take in, basically.

[ Yuri's answer was kinda lazy but he's feeling the most incredible urge to chill, so that's how it's gonna be. ]

You gonna try any of the food? It's not all that bad.

[hentopan]

Bubbles put up some fight at least, but the rest of it was whatever. Least it wasn't long as shit. [ He looks at the food, shakes his head. ]

Don't want any, I wouldn't like any of it anyway.

[hesperos]

It was whatever, including the execution, huh?

[ Guess he did ask about it after all--oh well. ]

Would you have eaten any of the food if there was some hard boiled eggs?

Dining Room

[matchbreaker]

[ Being as how she was one of the focal points of it being a lot with that whole diversion about if they should take the case or not, Elda pauses a little. Honestly, she just went in for water before going right back to the ballroom. But then, this guy was one of the only people she's not really managed to have a chat with yet. Bubblegum's pal.

She sighs and: ]

Of course it was.

[hesperos]

[ Yuri looks over at her; she's sure someone he hasn't spoken with yet. ]

Yeah. Well...

[ He shrugs, deciding to move on to a better subject (kinda). ]

Did you come by to try any of the food?

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Fucking food man err- ]

Not really, but I can't say I'm hungry either.

[hesperos]

Thought it'd be good to stick around some people, then?

[ He shrugs. ]

Either way, I won't blame you for not being hungry. What happened can kill even a good appetite.

Dining Room

[Kyrie nods in agreement]

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky it went well - we may not have such clear evidence next time someone dies.

[They're lucky Caren was a sympathetic killer]

[hesperos]

[ Well, she was right. ]

You think everyone else will believe someone's going to kill again?

[ He'll lean back in his chair. ]

[chessturner]

I hope they do, so they get ready for when it happens again. We're trapped in this game until we can strike back. Until those two are caught, there's nothing we can do.

[hesperos]

Yeah.

[ ... ]

So, is the whole 'kidnap and try to get people to kill each other' a new experience for you too or what?

room 18

[notaccurate]

[Because Luca definitely does better talking one-on-one rather than in a crowd.

Luca peeks in and sees that Yuri is there, but he's still going to be polite and knock on the door before entering.]

Are you receiving guests right now?

[hesperos]

Yeah, I am. Lucky for you, it's at no charge.

[ ... ]

So, to what do I owe the honor of this fateful visit? You just wanting to hang around some?

[ Yuri will finally sit up in his bed following his oh-so-serious question. ]

[notaccurate]

Oh good, I can save my meager wages for drinks.

[He's joking there. Mostly.

But he will go ahead and step in now, since he's been invited in and all.]

I find it easier to speak to people like this, rather than in a large group. Most of the others are in the dining room, so I would prefer to not be there right now.

[hesperos]

[ He laughs a little at that. Luca, never change. ]

Yeah. It's a little nicer to have things one on one.

[ ... ]

And I guess it makes it harder for people to eavesdrop too, huh?

dining room

[evilfrenzy]

[Rideaux will stop when he's waved down by Yuri, but he quickly finds himself sighing.]

That's about the simplest way you could put it. We have plenty to think about now.

[hesperos]

[ That's right, join him!! ]

Makes it easier to deal with when it's phrased simply.

...Y'know, we already had enough to think about before, so this is just a pain.

[ ...Actually more than a pain but -- ]

[evilfrenzy]

[Fine, jeez! Let him find a seat...]

The benefit from it is that we also have more information than we did before, so we can at least think effectively rather than thinking in guesses.

[Not that the information is good, but it's something.]

[hesperos]

True.

[ Well, if they're going to be thinking ... ]

By the way, I'm kinda curious to know what you think of the Coordinators. Besides, the fact that they have a powerful grip over our situation and all.
