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.]

Why so much fuss?

[It sounds like a military facility. She'd ask if Angel was the child of an important officer, but if it was that heavily guarded, why would they bring their families?]

[didntgetdadslooks]

To... keep people from finding me. Basically.

[heritrix]

That's a lot of trouble to go to, for one girl.

[There's something very strange about her. Rin's not sure what to make of her yet. The more she learns about Angel, the deeper this rabbit hole seems to get.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Not too much trouble for the key to your success, if you're rich enough.

[heritrix]

That's right, your profile listed something strange for your occupation...

[She raised a knuckle to her lower lip in thought, head tilting downwards. A catalyst, wasn't it?]

You're saying that bunker was built solely to keep you inside of it?

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ She nods. ]

Built and filled with guard robots, yep.

[heritrix]

Why? What are they planning to use you for?

[didntgetdadslooks]

To... find something, basically. Something very powerful.

[heritrix]

...And you were born with the ability to find it? Or is it what you were raised to do?

[didntgetdadslooks]

I have the power to... open the way to it early, basically. Long before the next time anyone's supposed to have a shot.

[heritrix]

[Open the way? Rin leans back in her seat, careful to maintain her good posture. She's a Tohsaka, after all.]

This rabbit hole keeps getting deeper.

[Like geez.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

And I haven't even told you more than the basics.

[heritrix]

After today, it doesn't bother you to go into even that much?

[didntgetdadslooks]

I thought... I was worried when we arrived that participating here might be part of my job. But at this point I don't think so.

[heritrix]

...What would make you think it would be part of your job? This is a twisted set-up, and unusual even by those standards.
