don't wait for a knight in shinin' armor, your savior's reflected in the mirror
[That sure was a fucking thing. That execution was a fucking thing. Those secrets are a fucking thing.
Cabanela retreats to his room, but not for all that long. Everyone will get a note eventually, written in very neat handwriting
I do not plan on bowing down to threats and intimidation. If you did not act, it means you were, like me, aware of the risk, but decided against it. Your reasons are entirely your own.
Join me in the dining room if you agree enough is enough, and that you won't acquiesce to threats. I don't plan to let this stop me, and neither should you.
-C
In the dining room itself, Cabanela has set up coffee and tea for those who want it-- there's no food, because to be honest, he doesn't know how to cook. Two more candles have been lit-- he wasn't really sure what to do about the whole... parasite thing... so Fern's candle will have to make due.]

[Sayaka doesn't seem to mind, though she's not...really going into other reasons, at the moment.]
It'd be negligent to let her waste away, right?
no subject
[Jean didn't set the greatest example for how to deal with nonhumans. Susan shrugs.]
As long as she isn't hurting anybody, I don't see why it should matter. They ought to have provided for her to begin with, instead of waiting for that floor to open up.
no subject
[Her eyes narrow a bit at that.]
At least the blood supply replenishes with the food. I'd be worried for her if it didn't, and...it'd be so cruel to give us all food, and make her starve.
no subject
But it would go against their own game, to do that to her. To force her to attack someone, or else starve to death. Everything else has been...more like encouragement.
no subject
But you have a point. I wonder if it's gonna stay like that, though.
no subject
[.....]
It was a pretty big escalation. And we're not even a month in.
no subject
[She's. Not sure she wants to think about that end of it.]
It could get real bad for us.
no subject
[And with their homes being involved in this...maybe it’s better not to bring that up.]
At least they can’t keep dangling secrets over our heads, I guess. I wish we could have known what White’s was.
no subject
That's just crazy talk.]
It sounds like he really had something to hide, though. It would've been him, if it wasn't...well, what was left of Fern-san. It was clearly enough to try and sacrifice all of us for, and it...
[...Sayaka shakes her head, letting herself trail off.]
I never knew White-san, but honestly, I almost wish it wasn't so bad in there. I would've been happy to kick him.
no subject
I can't really blame that thing...Celia...for doing what she did. The rest of it, maybe, but he deserved it.
no subject
[Like seriously, what the hell is wrong with that hospital.]
I just hope Fern-san's able to find peace, where ever she goes. Maybe she won't have to share the room with White-san ever again.
no subject
It sounded like she'd died before. Maybe that makes it easier.
no subject
...You know, I'm wondering how on earth someone can actually come back to life from dying. That's absolutely impossible, isn't it?
no subject
[Susan considers, glances up at the wall of secrets. That's out there already. And she regrets, now, that she didn't talk to Fern about a few things when she had a chance...why is she holding everything else so close to her chest? People here would believe her.
Ugh, but it's hard. She keeps her eyes on the burnt letters as she speaks.]
But I remembered it happening to me on Sunday. I didn't tell anybody, but...I wish I'd told Fern.
no subject
[That's actually legitimately shocking, and...Sayaka's not so sure what to think of that. That's not something that happens. It just isn't. People die when they're killed. Even so, that's...
...It's something Sayaka can understand, especially now.]
Oh, Ashworth-san...I'm so sorry. You were really close with her, weren't you?
no subject
I don't know. Maybe? We were friends...but there were a lot of things I didn't tell her, too. And I haven't really had any friends for a long time...
no subject
[Granted, most of them do know, but. They're more 'trusted confidant' category.]
It's not a bad thing, though, to make friends here. We may all have interesting secrets, but...they're not all bad.
no subject
[She can actually think of several downsides to making friends here - Fern is, after all, dead. But that's not something she'll bring up to Sayaka, of all people.]
We'll have a better time than if we all retreated to our rooms, anyway.
no subject
[What kind of music would these fuckers even play, though.]
no subject
[Seriously why is that happening]
