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--]

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.]

I'm still alive, that's the most important thing.

[He's not entirely sure what to make of everything that happened earlier, even after spending some time alone with his thoughts.]

[explosivecombat]

[Jesus.]

At least you're honest about it. Consider it appreciated.

[sadisticwarfare]

I see no sense in lying about it.

[He lifts his shoulders a bit in a half-shrug.]

And you? How are you holding up?

[explosivecombat]

...Moderately annoyed at the amount of depression happening tonight, but otherwise well enough.

[kimblee. people just died.]

[sadisticwarfare]

[kimblee]

What about it is annoying you?

[He's not exactly smirking, but his expression is definitely lighter now. He's glad someone said it.]

[explosivecombat]

We all deliberately chose our lives over Miss Caren's. As such, I don't see why everyone is acting as though her death is something to be upset over - this is exactly what we wanted, and if someone truly had that many qualms over it they could have refused to vote and taken the penalty for it.

[...well, okay, then.]

It's a truly obnoxious lack of conviction in one's actions as soon as it's decided that the result is unpleasant. It's grating.

[sadisticwarfare]

[...Interesting.]

I see. I think you've put into words what's been troubling me about it as well. It's expected that we'll all be upset by what happened, when in reality we all did what we had to in order to survive.

It's been a bit frustrating, seeing most of them acting like this.

[explosivecombat]

It has been.

[Like, seriously.]

Some of them are more tolerable than others, but that isn't saying much at this point.

[sadisticwarfare]

No, it really isn't. I take it you've had some interesting conversations today?

[This is why he got food and got out of there without hanging around for too long because I didn't put up a top level.]

[explosivecombat]

A few.

[I mean, he kind of expressed his views on this there as well? Which, in hindsight, he probably should not have done to the teen girl squad.

...Yeah.]

[sadisticwarfare]

[Kimblee.... Kimblee no......]

I don't mind listening if there's anything else you want to say about it. But I can understand if it's grown tiring to deal with.

[explosivecombat]

I don't know that there is. I'm just...moderately irritated, that's all. And not particularly thrilled about returning to that room tonight, but I'm going to need to sleep eventually and so the entire thing is something of a moot point.

[Dislikes: silence, isolation.]

I do appreciate the offer, however, it's kind of you.

[sadisticwarfare]

[Right, Kimblee would hate that room even more than he does...]

I understand. I suppose I see why they've made sure the rooms are soundproofed like that, but it's difficult to stay in there for long periods of time.

[And Kimblee would have it even worse, but thankfully he finds his tact today and doesn't say it.]

Good luck with it tonight.

[explosivecombat]

I can manage well enough, it's just a matter of not spending too long in there with the door closed.

[I mean, even when it's open it does...not-great things to his head, but he can manage a bit better like that. Even if it does result in talking to the walls sometimes.]

[sadisticwarfare]

...I'd ask if you'd care to stay in my room, but you'd have to trust me not to kill you in your sleep.

[SAID WITH A SMIRK BECAUSE HIS SENSE OF HUMOR IS SHIT]

[explosivecombat]

You're both overestimating yourself and underestimating how lightly I sleep.

[...You know, at least the floor isn't going to give us tetanus this time?? Hopefully?]

[sadisticwarfare]

Well, if you aren't opposed I suppose the floor's free.

[just make a blanket nest on the floor kimblee, you know you wanna]

[explosivecombat]

I've slept in worse places.

[And there are so many blankets in storage? So many. So he'll be fine, and also warm? He sees no downside to this.]

[sadisticwarfare]

You're welcome to move in whenever you'd like, then.

[we're moving a little fast aren't we???? aligula would have a field day]
