It's time for an after party!

[perpend]

[About an hour after the trial and subsequent execution, Cabanela makes a decision.

They need to do something, keep the morale up, however little it may be.

Under each occupied room door people will find the following note written:


In difficult times such as this, it is important to carry on.
Don't give into despair; we must preservere.
If you don't want to be alone this evening, meet me in the dining hall.
-Cabanela

[Upon entering the dinning hall, you will find Cabanela sitting at one of the tables; he has lit two candles that are placed at the center of the table, but there's nothing else to note.

You'll have to supply your own food, since he doesn't have much of an appetite.]

[nankurunaisa]

Eh? It's yours?

[It's too late. She's already taking it off. It's not hers, she can't possibly take it.]

It's fine! I want you to have it back, I had no idea it belonged to someone.

[perpend]

[He shakes his head, though he's not going to say no to having the scarf back, exactly.]

How about you borrow it? That way, you don't have to keep it for good.

[Besides, he doesn't feel too lucky right now.]

[nankurunaisa]

Are ya sure? It's not the only scarf I got outta the machine, y'know.

[Two red ones, actually, though they look different.]

I really wouldn't mind givin' it to ya!

[perpend]

I'm sure.

I really don't mind!

Keep it as looong as you'd like!

[nankurunaisa]

Well, if you insist...I'll wash it and get it back to you soon, okay? It is kind of a nice scarf, huh?

[It'd probably look less giant on him, though...]

[perpend]

It's a great scarf! Perfect for cooold winter days!

Keep it as long as you'd like.

[Sorry, the scarf is definitely huge...]

[nankurunaisa]

I'll take good care of it! I won't let anything happen to it, okay?

[And she'll give it back at some point, but she likes scarves...and it's not like he's a weird old man or anything. It should be safe.]

Have you gotten anything of yours out of that machine?

[perpend]

Thank you. It might just be a big scarf, but it's a comfy one.

[But seriously, he loves that scarf, so take care of it! Not that he expects anything will happen to it, not really.]

I haven't gotten anything of mine, no. Just a bunch of notebooks and a few other strange things from the vending machine.

[nankurunaisa]

It really is! I feel like it'd take two Hibikis to really use it right, hehe.

[But that vending machine.]

...It gave me a knife, y'know. I don't wanna sour the whole party, but...even if it gives me a nice photo, I kinda hate that thing, too.

[perpend]

You could always wrap it around yourself multiple times, it might keep you warm on a coooold day that way.

[....]

It looks like there are plenty of weapons in that machine. It's not exactly the best thing to come out of the machine. But that's the point, I'm sure.
