It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world

[hesperos]

[ So, Yuri's going to be going around, putting up slips of paper for everyone to see, because even with everything that was that trial, he is sure it could help. He doesn't know--it's worked from time to time before anyway and someone should do it. ]



[ Yuri, for once, is going to be making some food for the afterparty that isn't desserts. On his side of things, his food is generally going to be geared towards something more western-style and hearty. In essence, there is some things of curry with beef, chicken, and vegetables in them, take your pick. Sayaka and Kyrie also will be assisting with food, providing stuff that is likely to be geared towards something asian.

This whole set up, of course, is going to be done in the dining hall, since that's where it usually is. ]

[ Then cry she will. She can't even bare to answer Sayaka now. This is the second time...? No, it's been more, right? She's gotten so fragile.

... But then ...

What else could she be? J-- she won't hold it in. She shouts this, small muffled shouts into Sayaka's chest between sobs, ]

That woman failed me! She -- died! After all that!

That bitch killed her, for what?!

My granddaughter is going to die for some stupid quirk of genetics! James is probably already dead - again - at the first damn trial!

[ And her - And Sayaka-- Smile?! THATBITCH TOLD HER TO SMILE?! And she did - she-- ]

I loved them!

[destage]

[...She doesn't know what to say to all of this. She can't say it'll be alright, because...some part of her knows it won't be. She knows it won't, because there's no real going back to that.

But she keeps running her hand through Elda's hair. She keeps hugging the woman in front of her, because that much? That much she can do, with certainty.

Scream away, Elda.]

[matchbreaker]

And I-- I love you. And that damned mage-girl.

[ SHE SNARLS UNEXPECTEDLY? her mood shifts a bit as she hisses out ]

And both of you are from other death games?! Are you kidding me?!

[destage]

[...She wants to say she loves Elda too, but...god. She didn't know that about Rin at all, and she figures that's not a good idea? Not for now.]

...It's horrible. They're all horrible. All of these games...

[matchbreaker]

That-- broad. Susan. Told me to look after Alex. As if I'm that girl's keeper too.

[ She knows she's just being erratic now. Saying facts Sayaka doesn't need to hear. Hell, she doesn't include the detail that Rin chose to enter her game or that the rules are entirely different. No, what she says instead. ]

[destage]

...I can take care of that. I'm--I'm more than capable. You don't have to worry.

[She doesn't know what to say to that, really, but that's the first thing that comes to mind.]

[matchbreaker]

You can take care of her, when you never take care of yourself? Don't- make me laugh.

[ She's not in the laughing mood. ] It is easier with her, I wonder? Than me, I mean.

[ Shut up, Elda Marker. She ... she needs to shut up. ]

What folly. What absolute folly.

[ She hugs Sayaka tighter. She's just being spiteful now, she knows it. She knows it, and she can't completely stop. ]

... I know you can. But I have my responsibilities too.

[destage]

[...Sayaka doesn't really say anything to that, just...kind of averting her gaze. She has a point, even if it stings like hell. She's...not really sure if she should say anything.

So she'll nod her head.]

...Then do so. I apologize for trying to take them from you.

[matchbreaker]

It's understandable.

[ elda's voice is drifting off, she's clearly getting more tired. ... Which uh, is bad, given she'll die if she goes to sleep here in Sayaka's arms ]

That's your girl. No matter if I thought she wasn't good enough for you, if I thought her ignorance dangerous, or my own petty feelings, it's natural for you to leap. Love is like that.

[destage]

[...Yeaaah, she sees where this is going.]

...I don't know if I know of it entirely, at this point, but...

[...]

...Can I take you back to your room, at least? You sound like you need some sleep, and...I would like to talk to you more, when you're up for it.

[matchbreaker]

Yes. Yes, please do. Better for me not to die now.

[ She'll stand, but she's still going to be leaning a little on Sayaka. She feels so incredibly drained now. ]

Anything for you, my dear. Anything.

[ She'll talk to her later, in other words. ]

[destage]

I don't want that happening.

[If Sayaka were not made of somehow sturdy enough to be a human body twigs, she'd carry Elda, believe her. Still, she'll help Elda get to her room and get to sleep.

She trusts Elda for that much, but...she does wind up going into her room with her and helping her, if needed.]

...Good night, Mom.

[matchbreaker]

[ The room is ... mostly as it was last night. The only big difference is some of the sketches have been taken from the walls and those paintings in the corner? there's only three. The fourth (Susan's) has been ripped to shreds on the floor there. Also the headboard is slightly cracked.

... Elda nods though, and she will be lead into the room and will be tossing a shit load of blankets over her head. ]

Try to sleep well, Sayaka.

[ And ... Oh, wait. She slips out to yank the girl back to - kiss her on the cheek. ]

I love you.

[destage]

[...Oh, Elda...

Well, she can at least return the kiss with a smile.]

I'll do my best, I promise. And...I love you too. Good night.

[...And she means it, this time. Maybe it's something she needs kind of...drilled into her, but...

Well, she's off to sleep now, closing the door behind her.]
