One day we'll reach to emotions: unexplored, unprecedented
[ Sometime shortly after the trial small notes will be folded underneath the doors of everyone still alive, and also posted to the staircase leading up to the upper floors. Not many of you have probably seen Elda's penmanship yet unless you checked that Penmanship check a while back, but it's impossibly impeccable fancy cursive script, to match with her old timey appearance. ... She also writes a lot more proper than she talks. ]
[ she's being somewhat facetious about half the group, but the fact does remain that she got more offers than she expected, when she set out to do this. She had expected that Sayaka would help, and indeed both her and Alex provide cookies and curry for the tables. Elda herself sets up the tables, dotting one longer central one made of smaller ones in the ballroom for things to sit on. The bulk of the food's provided by Tarrlok of all people, Chinese food by any other name. Susan, bless her, provides alcohol. Hibki, once she was clean, decided to run backup on preparing the food.
And then perhaps fittingly, Aligula provided the decorations. Steamers line the room, and little cut outs hang around. At Elda's instruction, it's a mix of cats, snakes, and bats. The majority of them have little faces on them. And finally, as and afterthought more than anything else, Elda makes some tea.
... Said tea is black tea and is impossibly dark and bitter because she can't taste it, but maybe that's what you want on a night like this. Who knows. ]
To My Fellows,
The half of you who didn't assist me in this are cordially invited to a celebration of our continued living, and to the memories of those who aren't. We are a mismatched group,
but it has become increasingly clear that we are together in this. Do not allow yourself to be alone.
We will be congregating in the ballroom for the rest of the night.
Better chefs than I will be providing food.
Sincerely,
Elda Marker

Ye- actually, uh... Mmhm, I...I did, and uh...she likes me back, so...that is as they say that. Heh.

[ and SUCK IT EVERYONE WHO GRIPED ABOUT LOVE IN MURDERSCHOOL. SUCK IT. ]
I hope you two can stay together now that you've found each other. [ ... ] I've got tips for that too. You wanna hear?
no subject
[ ALIGULA HELP HER..... ]

Tip one! Communication is super important. You've gotta be able to tell your boo anything and everything. Tip two! If things start going sour, then you gotta push! You gotta, Alex! It's the most important law in love—that the one who pushes the hardest, who never gives up on it, wins!
[ ...yeah. ]
It shows how much you wanna be with that person too! Whoever said "If you love something, let it go" was a total wuss!
no subject
But...if things start going sour, shouldn't you talk before being...all that about it? Communicate in a more relaxed way?
no subject
As long as that's true, anyway. [ A little wave. ] If you don't love someone anymore, you shouldn't lead them on. That's totally way too cruel, you know?
no subject
[ She doesn't mean to sound surprised sorry ]
no subject
And what's that supposed to mean? I mean, like, of course I do! I've dated a lot, I've loved a lot!
no subject
I- I don't mean like that, just- we've really got radically different backgrounds, you know? I...this stuff, dating and love and romance, it- I didn't think it could be this universal, is all!
no subject
[ A dreamy little sigh. ]
That's love.
no subject
[ She hasn't...said it yet. It's been such a short time, so of course she hasn't, but...Alex considers the word, a gentle smile on her lips. ]
Thank you, relationship-sensei. [ Ha. ] Something that unifies all of us... [ (except kirei) ] I think it's pretty cool.
no subject
Right~? And it's totally way better than the other universals! Math and music.
