[Another week, another set of disasters. Hibiki’s head is still reeling from the lengthy ordeal that was Solf J. Kimblee. But it’s because of that exasperation that she’s able to turn her restlessness into something useful. It’s too late to set about making curry for everyone, so it’s time to make some easier dishes. A replication of Fern’s mac-and-cheese, somehow she’s whipped up some kind of donut to go with her animal-shaped rice balls. There’s coffee, tea...hopefully it’s enough? And if it’s not, Rin has provided some delicious Chinese food. And that always tastes better late at night, doesn’t it?

And for the adults (or the exasperated teenagers), Susan is carting down booze from the bar. Joy. Hibiki’s never written to the group en masse before, but she delivers a piece of paper to everyone while Rin and Susan finish up the preparations. Each paper has a drawing of an animal on it, too.]

Too much has happened today. Whether you want to get angry, cry, smile, laugh, or just be out of your room, you don’t have to do it alone. Rin and I have prepared food for everyone, and Susan’s brought the drinks downstairs so none of us have to go into the bar tonight.

Even if it’s just for a little while, won’t you think about joining us in the dining room tonight? Being together is just as important as working hard. And remember, nankurunaisa!

[Three more candles are lit today. Tabitha Smith. Sigrun Eide. Solf Kimblee. They’re all Cabanela’s doing. There aren't any decorations, but the food is spaced out so everyone should be able to grab something and munch if they need it. It’s not clear how many people will come, but a serious attempt was made this time.]

[ Yuri's...definitely had his moments where he's forgotten about how everything's shitty and wasn't bothered because he was goofing around or something nice was happening.

Sometimes he feels a little mixed about that because of the reality of the situation, but then he figures it's better than feeling stressed. ]

Yeah...I feel you on that. Sometimes it's pretty weird, but I think it can be good to have moments when you're not bothered by stuff here.

[sadisticwarfare]

Maybe it is. It just feels odd to forget about the situation for even a moment.

[He shakes his head once that's out there.]

I appreciate the discussion tonight, Yuri. I take it this will remain just between the two of us...?

[He's a paranoid mess and everyone knows it now, but that doesn't mean he wants Yuri to go blabbing that to everyone.]

[hesperos]

I'm not one to go blabbing to other people about someone else's private stuff, so yeah. Anything spoken with me here isn't gonna go to some other person's ears.

[ Yuri's pretty much good at keeping mum. ]

We've enough to worry about, you know?

[ So even if he was the type, he wouldn't want to add that to the list. ]

[sadisticwarfare]

Agreed. Then there's whatever incentive they decide to give us next...

[It never ends, does it? This is the cycle we're stuck in until someone wins or we all die.]

[hesperos]

[ The only real way out here is to break the cycle. ]

Yeah, their incentives aren't something to scoff at. I think what might make them a little worse is the whole 'let's just keep talking about this great thing you'll get if you murder someone and condemn the hell out of everyone if you get away with it' and it just messes with people's heads.

At the point when he's half-way through talking about it I'm thinking of how great it'd be for someone to put a sock in his mouth.

[ Like, goddamn. ]

[sadisticwarfare]

He certainly does like to hear himself talk, doesn't he? It's irritating. I wish someone would shut him up. Permanently, preferably.

[archer also likes to hear himself talk but he's not that bad!!!]

[hesperos]

[ Thank goodness for small miracles that Archer isn't. ]

Oh yeah, I'm with you on that one. All the way.

[ ... And to nobody's surprise Yuri would've done so already if he had a way and the rules wouldn't you know. Screw him over. ]
