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.]

[mortyfied]

Y-you think so? [Morty's the kind who's against making the guy holding them hostage or whatever mad but... it IS just a desk.]

U-uh in that case, then let's do it!

[nankurunaisa]

I'm sure of it! Let's go get it right now! I'm sure the two of us can move it together.

[Oh. Wait.]

...But the mail room's gonna be closed soon, huh? It's closed at night...it might be better to do it in the morning, huh? We probably shouldn't stuck inside of there or somethin'.

[mortyfied]

O-oh yeah.. you're right. [He was so down for doing it immediately, but getting stuck in a mailroom all night doesn't sound very appealing.]

Let's meet up at Ken's room tomorrow morning, then. We can get it ready before everyone wakes up.

[nankurunaisa]

I bet the Conductor's gonna sit in there and laugh at all the mail. If I could hide in there, I would, but...

[She's not a death seeker.]

That sounds like a plan! I can't wait, hehe. I hope we get more books, too!

[mortyfied]

Heh, yeah! Maybe we can ask the Conductor to give us more books instead of having to wait for the machine. They're - he probably wouldn't mind something easy like that, right?

[Oh Morty if only you knew about what you were gonna find tomorrow..]

[nankurunaisa]

Eh? Y-you want me to ask? I don't think he and I really get along all that well...

[Whoo, boy. She's really not sure if that's a good idea.]

He probably couldn't say no to you, though!

[mortyfied]

[What... what did you do to the Conductor, Hibiki...]

Huh? Wh-what do you mean? What makes me any different from you?

[nankurunaisa]

Do you remember when he was talkin' to use for the first time over the speakers? I called him a coward, and he really didn't like it...

[She looks away, because that's not all he said. Whoo, boy.]

He said he was gonna make me first blood if I didn't shut up.

[mortyfied]

[His expression changes, looking a little shocked actually.]

Jeez - he said that to you? That's - that's taking it a little far, don't you think? [Yikes, that's pretty scary actually..]

[nankurunaisa]

And that's exactly why I called him a coward! He can't even answer a few questions, geez.

[She feels vindicated about her anger, to be honest.]

I'm...I'm not afraid of him, but maybe someone older should ask...just in case, y'know?

[mortyfied]

Y-yeah... I think I can agree, there. [He knows an adult but maybe they should get someone who's less.. uh.. vulgar.]

We could ask Officer Cabanela? O-or King Logan? I think either of them could get away with it without getting in trouble or anything.

[nankurunaisa]

Cabanela-san has been really nice! I bet he'd do it if we asked him for sure.

[She just doesn't want to be killed for randomly contacting the Conductor, especially today.]

I'm not much of a reader, but even I'm startin' to wish I had a good back around here. It's the least he can do for us.
