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

[ She hesitates for only a moment, to put a hand to her head. Ah... Something's aching. They're acting up again. ]
You're not the only one who cares about her. I understand the gravity of where we are, and...how much she needs someone. I won't let her live only for me, or die only for me...so you can stop harping on it, okay?
no subject
[ Well, that's her piece said. She turns from the girl, though her eyes are still agitated. The fact is, she doubts that the girl does comprehend it - what does some human girl understand?
... But that's too harsh. She's been seeing death this whole time too.
Ah well. She closes her eyes and she hums a little, seeming to decide what to play before just letting her fingers decide. She'll not really dismissed Alex if she wanted to say more, but it's clear that was the end of what she wanted / needed to say. ]
