It's time for an after party!
[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.]

[Susan's not much for comforting people, but she thinks she ought to say something. At least she's got a good reason to be here; she sets a box of cinnamon tea down on the table.]
I got it out of the machine. If you want a different flavor.
no subject
She looked down at the box, noting the box already in her hands... She set that one back. A tired smile dotted her face.]
I'd love to make this, thank you.
no subject
How are you?
no subject
I'm... [There's a noticeably pause.] okay. What about you? Would you like anything?
[Two people are dead, and Rakka is trying her darnedest to not break down.]
no subject
[...things go silent easily in conversations with these two, huh]
I'll just make myself some coffee. I doubt I'm getting to sleep anytime soon anyway.
no subject
O-oh. Okay. If you want it, the coffee is in that cabinet over there. [which she'll point to while she works on that box of tea. Her hands aren't shaking a little as she lifts it up, that's just a trick of the lights.]
I-I don't know how much sleep I'll get either...
no subject
It's been a long day. Just don't stay out too late.
no subject
Ah, yes... [She'll do that after she's gotten through with this tea she's preparing.
...Which may prove more difficult then expected, as Susan might suddenly witness Rakka collapsing to her knees midway through putting away the new box she had give her, the contents almost spilling out onto the counter.]
no subject
Rakka? [She moves, quicker than one might expect from Susan, to try and catch her.]
no subject
I-I'm fine. [she says in a weak voice. Which is not fine.] I feel strange... I had so much energy a moment ago.
[The biggest consequence this day had on Rakka: Emotional exhaustion.]
no subject
Come and sit down. I'll finish the tea for you.
no subject
...Are you sure?
no subject
[Nope. No argument. She's doing it.]
no subject
[She's... going to need help getting to a chair.]
...Susan?
no subject
[LET'S-A GO
She gets one of Rakka's arms over her shoulders. NO MORE FALLING OVER MARIO]
no subject
And regardless of what Rakka was going to say or object to, she's being taken out of the kitchen now. That's happening.]
Ugh...
no subject
no subject
[she perks up for a moment, just a little.]
...Thank you, for this.
no subject
You're welcome.
[And she will be back shortly with tea! It doesn't take so very long, after all.]
no subject
It's been a long day, and she's not going to sleep easy tonight either.
But at least there were people right here she could count on.]
no subject
no subject
No, she's kind of drifted off. So much for not getting any rest.]
no subject
She shouldn't sleep here - indeed, she can't past a certain time. Susan doesn't want to know what the Conductor's idea of punishment entails. But they have a little time, and she hasn't the heart to wake Rakka just yet.
She sets the tea down and takes a seat herself to drink her coffee. She'll give her a little more time.]
no subject
While she may get to sit and enjoy the relative silence in the moment, it's not long until the tiny girl is roused by the scent of tea and coffee filling her nose. She gives a small snort, followed by a yawn as she picked herself up again.]
Susan...? Mmm.. [Did she...? Oh.] Oh no. I must have fallen asleep.
no subject
If you're that tired, you might just want to go to bed.
