[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.]

I only left several weeks before I left this place. But if I could survive out there at sixteen... I'm certain Meryl would have been able to do so at a younger age.

[innocentloveholic]

So either the world's not as dangerous as you thought, or your sister's way cooler than you.

[ ........ ]

Why not just go back for her and adventure together or whatever? [ obvious murdergame thing aside. ]

[bloodbiter]

Of course she is - ah, cooler than me.

[She gives a nod.]

I will. When all of this is over... When she is well again.

[ ideal cr: aligula just teaches adelina all kinds of cool modern slang. ]

That's good. I'm sure she'll... forgive you or whatever it is siblings do. I never had any, not that I know of. [ Maybe she does or something, she doesn't keep in contact with her folks though so—! ]

[bloodbiter]

[She's about to respond to that first part, but—]

If you had any, wouldn't you know?

[innocentloveholic]

Nope! It's been a while since I talked to my folks, and even longer since I was back home... Like, not even counting HLC, right? I got out as soon as I could!

[ The typical teenager thing. She wanted to meet people, see the sights, fall in love, pursue a medical career... ]

I don't remember much about them either, really. They're probably happy I'm gone thouuugh, I was totally a handful when I was a kid~! As I'm sure you can, like, totally imagine.

[bloodbiter]

Got out is a strange way to describe it... Do you have a particularly poor relationship with them prior to leaving home?

[innocentloveholic]

I had about as good a relationship with them as any girl who wants to travel? Sooo... It was like, average, I guess?

[ ...she does not really had a good reference for these things. ]

[bloodbiter]

But you haven't spoken to them since you departed all the same? It was my understanding that it is much easier to communicate in the future.
