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 not feeling all that hungry, if I can be honest. After seeing what happened down there.

[...that's a little more honest, at least, and...she does look at the food.]

I probably should, though. Kitchen's only open for so long.

[ninehundredlives]

Yeah. Neither have I.

You can always get something that'll keep. It's probably a good idea to have a supply in your room anyway. They could always stop stocking this...

[destage]

[...That's true, isn't it. There's gotta be something in there that'll keep for a bit, that she can grab for later.]

I...admit, I'm not really familiar with a lot of stuff like that. [Or rather, most of the stuff that comes to mind is unhealthy as fuck.] But that's a good idea. Um...do you have any particular suggestions?

[ninehundredlives]

...peanut butter's good. It's got a lot of calories and protein. They use to to help people who're starving. And there's some canned stuff that should keep.

[destage]

...Alright, that should be easy enough.

[As long as the can opener doesn't break down on them, that's actually a pretty solid way of going about it.]

Thank you, Ashworth-san. I honestly wasn't really even thinking about that...

[ninehundredlives]

Sure. There's these little ration packets in the storage closet too - almost like they were planning for something to happen.

[Not the same scenario she was thinking of, where the Coordinators try to starve them out. Maybe the food supply itself is a little in question?

...she won't bring that up now.]

[destage]

...I forgot all about those, is the sad part.

[Like, Sayaka wouldn't...want to, but the acknowledgement that they're there is good, at least.]

That is true, though. We really do need to prepare for any and all emergencies in this place. There's no telling what'll happen next.

[ninehundredlives]

They wouldn't starve us out, after all this. But if they cut the food long enough...

[Someone would break. Even if she doubts they really would just let them all waste away, it's a credible enough threat.]
