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.]

[.....quietly peers at the many sandwiches being made.]

[oftheland]

[...]

Ah, go ahead and take one, if you'd like. That's what they're for, after all.

[charcoalfeather]

Oh.... you sure?

[Well, he wouldn't have said that if he wasn't. So, she'll just pick up one of those sandwiches then.]

Uhh, thank you!

[oftheland]

It's no problem, really. They're probably the easiest kind of sandwich to make, so it was easy to get a lot of them together.

[...

and he probably wouldn't accidentally poison anyone with them.]

[charcoalfeather]

[....Well, when you say it like that.]

If they're this easy, then I'll have to learn how to make them too!

[Just gonna nibble on one of them. She'd already eaten the packed lunch Sukuyo had given her, like a good person.]

[oftheland]

Well, the trick is to put peanut butter on one slice of bread and put jelly on the other, and then be sure to put the peanut butter half on top of the jelly half because peanut butter sticks better.

That's it. You have learned a new recipe.

[charcoalfeather]

....Hehehehe! [Yeah, that's going to get some laughter out of her - the honest kind. Congrats, Giovanni.]

I'll try to remember that then!

[oftheland]

Well, it'd be a little unfortunate if you forgot it, I think.

...How have things been going, anyway? I mean, aside from the obvious.

[charcoalfeather]

[She takes a bite out of her sandwich, chews it thoughtfully, and swallows before giving an answer.]

I'm okay... [Sort of, it shows on her face that the events today have taken a toll on her.] Thank you for asking... umm, Geovanni?

[What a name that is. She can't really say anything, though.]

[oftheland]

...it's a long I, though I appreciate that it's a bit difficult if you've only seen it.

[why does he have an Italian name when he's PokeJapanese? Uh... hm... yeah, we just don't know.]

It's been a rough day, but... well, I guess things could get better...

[maybe.]

[charcoalfeather]

...Oh, what did I say? [Hang on a second...] Giovanni? I-I'm sorry.

[Rakka doesn't even know what an Italian is. Heaven help the both of them.]

I hope so... today's been worse then any day that I can remember. I've never seen anyone dead before...

[uuuugh.]

[oftheland]

No, it's fine. It's kind of long and spelled a bit strangely compared to some other names.

[...would it be comforting or tasteless to mention that she can't actually remember anything before this...]

Well, we can at least hope that you don't have to see anyone else dead, but... yes, it's certainly pretty grim.
