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.]

[ When he sees the note, Yuuri debates on whether he actually wants to go, but eventually decides to show up anyway. There's no way he wants to be alone right now.

He has all the intentions of going and talking to people, helping others cook, but when he actually enters the dining room he finds that he doesn't know what to do. So he ends up sitting at one of the tables, staring off into space. ]

[Elise sighs into her tea.]

This shouldn't have happened.

[swirlied]

No, it really shouldn't have.

[ He sighs, and it's a little shaky. ] What do we do now?

[announcemyvictory]

It's clear that catching a culprit won't set us free. Before anything else, we need to make sure this doesn't keep happening.

[swirlied]

[ He nods. ]

Yeah, I don't want to go through this again.

[announcemyvictory]

I don't believe anybody does. Well, I'd hope not...

[swirlied]

Me too. [ He takes a look around the room, noticing how quiet everyone is. ]

I'm pretty sure they don't. [ And if they did enjoy it, they're pretty good actors. ]

[announcemyvictory]

Well, obviously. It's insulting just being here. Everybody wants to go home, but nobody wants to get killed over it.

[swirlied]

We'll just have to look for a way out ourselves. Maybe there's a secret exit...

[announcemyvictory]

If so, it's been hard enough to find. I wish we had more on this.

[swirlied]

So do I. I've looked over pretty much everything, but I've found nothing... There has to be something around here though.

[announcemyvictory]

Secret passages, clues to where we are, that sort of thing?

[swirlied]

[ He nods. ]

I've looked around for secret passages, but if there are any they're really well hidden... I wonder if we'll find any clues to where we are though. Have you found anything?

[announcemyvictory]

Unfortunately not. The only thing we can really do is keep on with what we've been doing from the start, isn't it?

[swirlied]

Yeah. If we keep looking, we're bound to find something at some point. [ Hopefully... ]

[announcemyvictory]

Let's hope this is the last of these incidents, then.

[A sigh, as if she's not sure she believes it.]

[swirlied]

[ He nods. ]

Yeah... [ But he doesn't sound too convinced that it will be either. ]
