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.]

[ Alex has some- bacon bits, not actual bacon, that's easier to work with probably. She can prepare those, at the very least. ]

Do you think this'll happen again?

[Susan hesitates, hands stilling.]

......yeah. Probably. [It's an ugly thing to say to the girl, but lying won't make it go away.]

[sleepytimegal]

[ Sucks in a breath. ]

That's...what I was thinking too.

[ninehundredlives]

...yeah.

[Potatoes potatoes she guesses...cheese now? Let's get cheese.]

I guess all we can do is look after ourselves. And maybe each other...as best we can. There's too many of us.

[She could barely handle this many people socially. She hasn't even talked to them all. Susan can't even begin to process looking out for the individual safety of everyone here. Just...as long as she tries to take care of the few she especially wants to, other people can do the rest, can't they?]

[sleepytimegal]

If we could just find a way out of here...but I know that's not gonna happen so easily. Even if we want it to. [ And boy she really wants it to. ]

...Thanks. ...For- you know. Trying to do that. ...Look after me.

[ Because she could tell immediately that's what was going on, and...you know, it's not bad. ]

[ninehundredlives]

.....yeah. Sure.

[Susan doesn't look up at her; she doesn't seem quite sure how to respond.]
