trustfell | 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?

[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.]

I think that's a good thing to want to help like this. Right now we... well, we want to try to trust in one another, right?

[Even if after that trial that's the last thing people will want to do.]

We have to trust each other. Especially after today.

[Very Firm Declaration]

[That causes Estelle's facial features to relax and she lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding in.

To hear this is nice.]

Yes, we must and even more so now. You're absolutely correct.

[She smiles.]

I'm glad someone agrees. I feel like people think I'm stupid for thinking so.

I think people are conflicted. We're in a place where we are told that we are going to die one way or another, and that's terrifying. So slowly, I feel, people are beginning to either form alliances or break apart. I want to trust everyone-- I truly do. However--

[However, who does she trust?]

...Yeah, I know what you mean. Its hard to open up, especially with all the.... drama.

It is. This just makes me rethink what we need to do and how to act. Naturally, I imagine, most of us don't want to kill one another, but--! But...

[Blue probably didn't either yet she did.]
