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

[matchbreaker]

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? ]

[Huff.] I thought it would be too on the nose to have a country called Monomania...

[innocentloveholic]

I'm just the most monomaniacal person in my group~!

[ Maybe the world. Hahahahaaaaaaaa. ]

Queen of Courage sounds really dumb though... We gotta figure a nicer one out for you.

[heritrix]

I've never been a fan of that title in the first place.

[So yeah, agreement there.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ Excellent, okay, so— ]

What's your best trait?

[heritrix]

That's difficult. I have several.

[JUST SAYS THAT SO PLAINLY. Cross humility right off the list.]

[innocentloveholic]

So we can cross "humble" right off! Which one's your favorite?

[heritrix]

There's nothing wrong with knowing your strengths as well as your weaknesses. Everyone should strive for that.

[She doesn't sound even a little bit embarrassed, it's apparently a point of pride for her. Of course she's going to be happy about her strengths?? Fuck Kirei and his virtues.

One that would be her favorite, though...]

Is it too cheesy to go for "sorcerous"?

[innocentloveholic]

[ She adores you, Rin, really... ]

Not at all! Sorcerous... Hmmm... Queen of Sorcery sounds really witchy~! And powerful, too.

[heritrix]

I could definitely get used to a title like that.

[She's grinning around her fork, chewing politely before speaking up again.]

Are there any perks to the it? Business cards would be nice, as well as a paycheck.
