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.]

[Writing letters...? Interesting way to spend the time. He won't comment on it, but it's been noted.]

True. It may have simply been a coincidence that no one else was wandering around that night.

[As unlikely as it sounds, it obviously happened.]

You know, I wonder about that myself. This place is incredibly cramped for more than thirty people. I wouldn't be surprised if people start developing some mild to severe claustrophobia if it does stay like this.

[destage]

...Hopefully it doesn't become a reoccurring theme.

[They'd probably have to set up some kind of rules for when Night Time hits, and goddammit Sayaka doesn't want to have to practice in the day.

Still, that claustrophobia but is something Sayaka will nod to.]

That'd be all the more incentive to try to get them all to thin our numbers more. At the same time, I wonder if they're going to try and 'reward' us for this.

[evilfrenzy]

[Implying people would confirm to any proposed rules anyway...]

..."Reward" us?

[That's an interesting theory. Rideaux leans in a bit, waiting for Sayaka to elaborate.]

[destage]

Think about it for a second, Rideaux-san--we're playing right into their game, intentionally or not. Now that they know that we're capable of playing the game, they'll 'treat' us, and give us more access to whatever is in this place. All for their amusement, and to see what'll happen.

Don't you think that's in line with their personalities? To give us more, so that way their game doesn't get stale.

[It's a little bit of a leap, theorywise, but it makes enough sense to her.]

that was supposed to be conform not confirm lol oops

[evilfrenzy]

[...his expression sours a good deal. He's not a fan of the wording, even though it's a good theory. His response is more under his breath like he doesn't really intend for Sayaka to hear, and it's laced with bitterness.]

Well, isn't that familiar.

[A proper response comes next.]

It's certainly in line with Jericho's, from what we've heard. As nice as it would be to have more to work with, it's positively annoying when you word it like that.

IT'S ALL GOOD FRIEND

[destage]

[...ah, that. Actually gets her to pause a bit and incline her head.]

...I should have thought about my wording, better, and I apologize.

[But yeah.]

I suppose we'll find out in due time, then. I could easily be wrong.

[evilfrenzy]

[With a shrug,]

It may be annoying, but it's still better than sugarcoating it. It's fine. That said, I don't disagree with you that there may be more to this building. What sort of school would this be without classrooms and whatnot?

[Maybe murderschools don't have to follow the rules, but still.]

[destage]

It wouldn't be much of one, that's for sure. This doesn't seem like the sort of place to simply have only this much to it, when it can house so many people.

[Murderschools gonna murderschool, but man, they at least should keep the illusion going.]
