I dreamed of a world so far from here that's not on the map

To my Fellows,

What is "good" and what is "evil" is something that can be debated for longer than most of you will ever live, as is the nature of men. These debates are without meaning in my eyes. Despite that man's belief, men are not born to be good or evil, and what flaws they have in personality or character are things that can be overcome through their choices. Both for better and, as we've seen, for worse.

Life is not without suffering, but I should hope that every one of you is loved by someone. Loves someone. Many of you probably know that some of those loved ones are entering into an experience similar to our own. The terror of that is an undeniable sword which hangs above our heads.

Do not isolate yourselves, and hold onto what belief will best inspire you. And if you wish to join us for another one of these gatherings, meet us in the dining hall at 8PM.

Sincerely yours,
Elda Marker

PS: Those who can taste will once more provide food.


[ Well that sure is a lot of words which is being put under your doors, put on the fridge, and generally distributed around. It... uh, sure is a letter? It's in the same impossibly perfect cursive as last week, and is written with an almost angry bravado. Because even if she was vindicated at the end there, she was vindicated by a (by his own admission) evil priest. So. That feels bad.

Anyway, with some effort, the dining hall (which now has a lot of candles at Cabanela's little shrine, even with adding the two more here) is filled with food: Susan's got the booze as usual but also a big pot of mac and cheese. Adelina's done her noble best with some finger sandwiches. Yuri's brought some sweets that Estelle might've made. As for Elda, well, she still basically can't cook, so what she provides instead is:

A few board games including a Settlers of Catan, Sorry, and Candyland knock off. I guess we're playing games. Or at least she's suggesting it, who knew? ]

I should keep doing that. It's like routine for me by now, anything that keeps me calm and grounded will be good.

[At first she really didn't want to do it, but after a few weeks the sense of normalcy it gives her is something she wants to keep as long as possible. Estellise's death would be a convenient way to get out of breakfast duty, but...yeah, she'll continue]

Yeah. Having something to keep you busy while trying to find a way out of this place helps.

[ Though, Yuri is a bit (pleasantly) surprised she didn't stop--if only because even if it was something to do it did seem like a chore. ]

I suppose you do have a way to vent, right? You're not going to spend your days staring at a wall and wishing everything was different...right?

[It'd be almost pitiful if you did, but at this point nobody here can afford to have a blue screen of death]

Yeah, I do.

[ Sure Yuri planned on spending a lot of alone time just for today when he got the chance to sort of just mull sullenly over what happened, and he's in a bad space right now... but. ]

I'm not the type to sit around on my ass and waste the chance I do have to try to still do something about the situation we're in.

[ He sounds a little annoyed, but it's whatever. ]
