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.]

[That's a 180, but it's better. Rin smiles lightly.]

I should have guessed. Okay, I'll be back soon then.

[firstaid]

[Estelle is the forgive and forget kind. She won't hold grudges. It's too sad and too much energy.]

Okay. I'll be waiting!

[heritrix]

[Aaaaaand here we go.]

I'm back.

[She skipped the bowls and brought a whole damn carton. Two damn cartons; strawberry for Estelle and mint chocolate for herself.]

[firstaid]

...oh!

[She gives Rin a sheepish smile though she takes the carton.

...she almost feels uncomfortable eating out of the carton.]

U-um...

[Should she say something? Though Yuri and Rita would tell her it's no big deal.

Right, she just remains quiet and stares at the carton before--]

O-oh right, thank you!

[She'll give Rin a small, but polite bow before she stares at the ice cream carton once more.]

[heritrix]

Don't forget the spoon.

[Rin hands that to her next before going to sit down.]

Don't worry, it won't bite you so long as you do the opposite.

[firstaid]

[She grabs the spoon and looks at the ice cream.]

What should I do if I can't eat it all?

[It seems rude to eat out of the ice cream directly and put it back.]

[heritrix]

[...oh, right. There's a little pause here like Rin hadn't thought of that, but then she just shrugs.]

We have pens and markers in the storage room. You can either claim the carton by writing your name on it, or you can scoop the parts you ate around into it's own bowl and put back the rest.

[firstaid]

I suppose I could and it's not like there wouldn't be enough for everyone else...

[So there's no problem feeling like she's hoarding it. As if reaching a silent conclusion, she nods.]

Yes, I think I will do that.
