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.

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.]

Yeah...there's nothing wrong with that. It keeps other people from getting hurt.

[hesperos]

Sure does.

[ Ah well... ]

Well, anyway, in the meanwhile we're just going to have to do our best and have it work out soon.

[ Ideally, honestly. Realistically he knows it might...take a while. ]

[ninehundredlives]

Yeah...I guess so. Maybe eventually we can take care of this, too.

[These parasites.]

[ He smirks, probably for like...the first time this evening, and it may not last, but he'll take it. ]

Hey, that's the spirit—even if we're got a long road of crap ahead of us, we gotta keep looking forward and all that.

[She'll take that as the first vote (from someone other than her) for Mastermind Murder.]

It's easier said than done. But...we're going to have to keep going anyway. I guess we can dream.

[hesperos]

[ Well, Yuri has been envisioning that is how Jericho would meet his end, but he knows it won't be that easy. ]

Sure can. Anyway, I'm going to go take a little walk.

If you ever need anything, just stop on by or give a wave if you see me again.

[ninehundredlives]

Sure. See you around...

[Funny how many people she knows now. Maybe she'll leave her room in a little bit, go and do something else.]
