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.]

[Oh. Of course she already had some. Well, Susan was hardly going to use this herself anyway; she's not much of a tea drinker.]

How are you?

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-09 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was only the stuff already left in the cabinets for them. Not much flavor in those packs either, but they were what Rakka had for a little while. This was gladly mixing it up a little.]

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.]

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm alright.

[...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.
charcoalfeather: (I don't understand)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-10 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[A likely product of neither of them really knowing what to say around the other. Hopefully, Rakka can change that... somehow.]

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...
ninehundredlives: ([ a better mouse trap ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-10 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[She knows where it is, but okay.]

It's been a long day. Just don't stay out too late.
charcoalfeather: (Walking into danger)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-10 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just trying to be helpful, this one.]

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.

[Well there goes that instant coffee she was holding.]

Rakka? [She moves, quicker than one might expect from Susan, to try and catch her.]
charcoalfeather: (What's wrong with this ring?)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-11 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She's already down, Susan. Though Rakka didn't look like she was about to fall over just yet. Her hands clung to the edge of the counter, keeping her leaning against it. All in all, she didn't look too good.]

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.]
ninehundredlives: ([ alone soaked in rain ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-11 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Wonderful.] It's been a long day.

Come and sit down. I'll finish the tea for you.
charcoalfeather: (Is that heaven)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-11 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
But.... [She can't really argue, can she?]

...Are you sure?
ninehundredlives: (Default)

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-11 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure. Just try to relax?

[Nope. No argument. She's doing it.]
charcoalfeather: (The crows?)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-12 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try to...

[She's... going to need help getting to a chair.]

...Susan?
ninehundredlives: ([ inside ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-12 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Come on, up you go.

[LET'S-A GO

She gets one of Rakka's arms over her shoulders. NO MORE FALLING OVER MARIO]

[YOU GOT THE "RAKKA"! Not exactly light as a feather, so handle with care.

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...
ninehundredlives: ([ and you're not coming ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-12 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, just stay here and I'll be right back. Let me know if you feel any worse.
charcoalfeather: (Is that heaven)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-13 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
...Susan...!

[she perks up for a moment, just a little.]

...Thank you, for this.
ninehundredlives: ([ forever ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-13 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Susan pauses in the doorway to the kitchen.]

You're welcome.

[And she will be back shortly with tea! It doesn't take so very long, after all.]
charcoalfeather: (The crows?)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-13 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[And Rakka is here, resting against the table, head in her arms.

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.

[Oh dear. Is the poor girl asleep? Susan approaches slowly, trying to see.]
charcoalfeather: (What's wrong with this ring?)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-13 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rakka isn't asleep! She's just... closed her eyes for a little bit!




No, she's kind of drifted off. So much for not getting any rest.

ninehundredlives: ([ don't you worry love ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-14 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, well.

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.]
charcoalfeather: (The crows?)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-14 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[You are too kind, Susan.

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.
ninehundredlives: ([ don't you worry love ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-14 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Only for a few minutes.

If you're that tired, you might just want to go to bed.
charcoalfeather: (I don't understand)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-11-14 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah... I probably will.

[It's been A Day. At the end of it all, it was just another day, too.]
