matchbreaker: (Honestly this was better zoomed)

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. ]

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


[ 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. ]

...I don't know. I guess I'd rather they made a real effort at it, if they're going to sacrifice somebody for the attempt. Sigrun still died, and it was like he hardly tried.

Not that he didn't get close anyway. We gave him way too much credit in there.

[ Charisma hell...... ]

He was, like, really well-spoken... [ ....... ] Totally one of his charm points though! I never had one uninteresting conversation with him.

No. I sort of liked talking to him for a while. [His weird creepy glee at a few of the murders and executions kinda soured her on him, though.] I wonder if the him that did that session was any easier to deal with than Jericho. Probably not...

[ See that's where this splits, Aligula loved his creepy glee... ]

He had to have been! Like, mostly because I can't imagine anyone really being much worse than Coordy-J. [ ...there is such a love/hate relationship with this man for her oh my god. ] Or, well... almost anyone.

[ ...............almost anyone................... ]

He would have been just as smug, I'm sure.

But I wish Jericho were more like him, honestly. He must have screwed up something, if one of the people there managed to kill him for it.

Maybe he showed his stupid face where everyone could see it and let them take a swing at him while he gloated. That's how it happens in shows and stuff, right?

He sort of seems like he would. I bet he thought he could handle it, and then he couldn't after all. Even if he'd had his alchemy back, it would only take one good hit.
