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.]

...I have had a conversation about personal items coming out of the machine. The first one was a little strange, but then I got something that was actually mine. It was... strange. Unnerving.

[ninehundredlives]

I haven't...really gotten anything that was mine yet. Was it something you were carrying, or have they just been robbing our houses, too?

[perpend]

It wasn't something I was carrying, but it was my umbrella.

[Which is bizarrely mundane? Seriously, who steals an umbrella and then shoves it into a vending machine.]

[ninehundredlives]

.....I'm not sure I'd recognize my umbrella if it fell down and hit me in the head right now.

[perpend]

....It's bright yellow. It's not easy for me to mistaken a random one for mine.

[ninehundredlives]

It's still kind of a strange thing to steal, isn't it? What came out for me...it was the flowers. From before.

And then an umbrella. [Are you lucky, or is she the only person with horrifying memories coming out of there?]

[perpend]

It is, I agree. If there's some sort of pattern behind it, it doesn't look like I have enough information to go by right now.
