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

[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?

- Fern and Alex

[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.]

library

[notaccurate]

[You messed up the library.

The same library he has been painstakingly keeping clean all week.

How rude]

Is there, ah, something specific you're looking for?

[innocentloveholic]

Not really.

[ There's some medical stuff, there's a lot of romances that are just... sort of getting the first couple of pages read before she sets them aside. Things like that. ]

Juuuuuust looking. Why, did you decide to retire from whatever it is you do and become the librarian of Graceside?

[notaccurate]

Well somebody has to keep putting the books back- wait, are those medical journals?

[He might be reaching over to pick one of them up, if Aligula doesn't stop him.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ He's getting smacked with one of her romances, how dare?? ]

They're nothing. [ ...they're medical stuff, all the scientific study and sci-fi and stuff is gone but no one ever said anything about medical things!!!! fuck you library ] Why not go see if anyone else needs your help, huh? I'm totally good over here.

[notaccurate]

[He pulls his hand back quickly once it's smacked, holding it to his chest in a way that is sort of dramatic. He's also ignoring her suggestion to go help someone else for the moment, because now he's curious.]

But where did you even find it? I have been looking all week for anything even remotely academic!

[innocentloveholic]

It's just like, disease reference and stuff. Cool your jets. [ ...she'll let him have one, it is indeed just like, descriptions of diseases and symptoms and thinks like that.

They're less of journals in that sense?? ] There's some medical romances if you wanna take a look at those too~ I'm sure we could find some teacher-student scenarios if you're really hard-pressed for good old academia.

[ lmfao. ]

[notaccurate]

[Luca makes a face at that.]

Oh please. I am not going to waste my time reading that tripe.

[innocentloveholic]

It's not tripe, it's entertainment! Take your fun where you can find it, Inconspicuous!

[ Waving one of them at him..!! Not that he can have this one, she hasn't leafed through it yet. She's gonna do that. ]

Most of these have been pretty awful though, like, even for trashy romance. There's not even any arcs where they realize that just because one of them has seven eyes instead of the usual twelve doesn't mean they're not meant to be! Though, like, she totally did lie about having twelve, I guess... [ Head... tilt... ] You totally can't have a relationship built on a foundation of lies, even if you come clean about it later, you know?
