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.]

[ ...He's speaking figuratively, right.

WELL ANYWAY- all these revelations, good grief ]

I feel like I don't know anything anymore.

[ She did catch some things, however... ]

So you'd like to be a good person but you don't- didn't have time for it, and you're kind of bad at it anyway?

[ ... ]

Maybe you should talk to me, and often. I probably won't intuitively understand why you want a certain outcome, but I can probably figure out how to get it without hurting people for you...? That's sort of what my life already is, after all?

...I was at least a decent king prior to the incident in Aurora. I doubt I was living up to the standards my mother set, but I was liked by the people.

[Which is probably why it's taken so long for everyone to get sick of him...

That offer is an interesting one, but it also brings up another point.]

I don't know much about you, Youko. I would like to talk to you more often, both because of what you've suggested and so I can learn more about you.

[clearasmud]

[ Learn more about her...?

... ]

I'd like that.

I'd like that a lot... Logan. [ teehee, alliteration ] Please tell me what you want to about yourself in return, okay?

[decrees]

...I would like that as well.

[And that... gets a smile in response though the expression is awkward as hell, like Logan has no goddamn idea what to do with his face. He's really bad at smiling, okay.]

[clearasmud]

...See, if you made this face more often, I would understand why everyone assumes you're a good guy.

[ ...two people are dead, is this... really the time for light joking...

...logan's doing something cute and she likes it so yeah pretty much! ]

[decrees]

[WOW YOUKO, THANKS...

But it does get him to shake his head and the smile isn't fading.]

You'd think they'd know better, given my appearance.

[Make awful decisions → look evil. It's pretty simple.]
