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.]

Oh man... that - that sounds really rough. [Of course he buys it because it sounds 100% plausible.]

So Reaver died before he could confess his feelings to him? J-jeez...

[zomgboom]

Yeah, he's like. Super in denial about his feelings? Earlier he was all "Tabby, I don't care about Reaver, but I'm taking his stuff because he would have wanted me to have it!" and it was just, like, really sad?

I mean, Reaver was total , but like. I dated a literal supervillain once so I can't even talk.

[mortyfied]

Maybe we should do something to cheer King Logan up? L-like I dunno... convince him there's someone better for him out there or something? [That's how he gets over his crushes, anyway.]

...also, a supervillain?

[zomgboom]

Yeah, uh. It was not the, like, brightest choice I ever made? Also nah, it's fine. He just needs to, like, have some time to himself to, like, come to grips with his feelings and stuff.

[mortyfied]

I guess so... I just feel bad for him though. I-I can't imagine what it'd be like to lose someone you like because they died before you could even say anything. [He kind of dealt with the same problem, but moved timelines to continue crushing on an alternate dimension version of the same girl so technically, not the same.]

[zomgboom]

[. . . Man, Logan you're lucky she kind of likes you. She's about to do you a solid.]

I wouldn't, like, mention it or anything? It's, like, kind of raw and stuff, so he's all pissy about it and, like, I think it just upsets him.

[mortyfied]

Yeah, I bet. [Poor, poor Logan..]

I hope their kingdom is gonna be okay, at least. I mean, six million people... jeez.

[zomgboom]

It's fine, like. After a war everything'll probably sort itself out or whatever. Logan was, like, exaggerating. Nobody has that kind of power.

[mortyfied]

...really? [He perks up a little.]

Y-you're sure they're all gonna be okay?

[zomgboom]

[ugh. ugh ugh ugh MAN, SHE'S GLAD SHE STOLE ALL YOUR SHIT, REAVER. YOU'RE MAKING HER LIE TO A KID.]

Yeah, totally. A superhero will definitely, like, go and save them all.

[mortyfied]

Huh... [Hey, sometimes lying is the best thing to do in some situations.]

Y'know, that actually makes me feel a lot better after what happened. I mean, I dunno if you're - if a superhero'll definitely save them all b-but someone has to, right? I-if something bad's happening then someone will wanna stop it.

[zomgboom]

Totally. I mean, like, that's my job or whatever so I would totally stop the bad guys from y'know. Doing bad stuff.

[This is the worst pep talk ever.]
