I don't believe in fretting and greiving, why mess around with strife?

[greenmamabear]

[In some ways, this trial was simpler. The killer was lacking in remorse, the victim innocent. The lines were clearer. Was that better, or worse?

Either way, Fern and Alex make up something of a green team, preparing a meal in the kitchen. Nothing particularly complicated. Coffee and water for whoever want it is at one end of the dining table. Along the rest of it is a variety of foods. A plate of cheese and crackers, a bowl of salad and carrots for the healthy people, some handy finger sandwiches, and... a big pot of mac and cheese. What they lack in presentation they make up in sheer volume of food. That's a big tub of mac and cheese.

They struggle with the invitations for a bit before eventually coming up with possibly the most awkward phrasing possible. These notes are quietly shoved under doors with little fanfare more than a quick knock.


We got food in eat place. Food is good to eat. Enjoy food with us?

[The dining area is lined up with some appropriate decorations, quick paper streamers and even some doodles that have been taped to the walls.

Its possible too simple. But maybe people need something simple to gorge on after a complicated day.]

Collecting thoughts for the next meeting?

[It's rude to read over someone's shoulder, so she'll wait to be invited into the conversation if that's fine rather than butt in unwelcome. I mean, she absolutely did peek, but still.]

[bloodisthicker]

Partially, although it's also for my own reference. I'd rather get these down before the next bombshell drops, I suppose.

[he's... just going to tolerate shoulder reading, it's not like he'd do anything shady.

in the open anyway]

The implication that there's been another of these scenarios before the one we're currently in is... concerning, to say the least.

[heritrix]

[Rin thinks of the ribbon burning a hole in her pocket.]

Or more than one.

[bloodisthicker]

Honestly, with how prepared they are, I'm thinking they might just be old hat at this in general. Which isn't what I'd like to think, but... I suppose it's better to be realistic.

[heritrix]

They certainly talk like they've done this before. I'd say Jericho refuses to shut up about it, actually.

[bloodisthicker]

I'd say Jericho refuses to shut up in general, actually. It's a wonder he doesn't decide to jump on the PA system once a day to ramble at us for a while.

[heritrix]

He's probably socially nervous. I bet he spends all of his time writing his lines, and that's why we never hear from him.

[bloodisthicker]

I wonder if we'll send the whole house of cards crashing down if we manage to force him off-script.

[heritrix]

Ask him about his love life. That'll do it.

[bloodisthicker]

...You know. I wonder if we could deputize Aligula to do this, actually... it's most natural for her to do it, after all.

[heritrix]

[Rin still has no idea how she feels about Aligula, but this makes her laugh.]

If she hasn't tried already, it's only a matter of time. She might not even need a nudge from us!

[bloodisthicker]

We'll just have to wait and see what happens with her, then.
