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. ]

[...so she looks cold, huh. Wow. That actually seems to surprise her for a moment, before her face just...kind of falls, while she works on another batch of curry.]

...Me neither. I know I'm just...going to expect to see Milla-san, Angel-san, and Ashworth-san wandering around in the morning. It's the same as it ever is, when we lose people.

I don't think understanding Aligula will be...possible, though. She was always an odd one.

[Even if Sayaka analyzed the hell out of her.]

[chessturner]

That's normal. But now that I think about it...you could ask Marker-san for those odd glasses she has. If they're around as ghosts...maybe that's the best thing you can aspire to. It sounded to me like they're having a relatively normal life together despite their deaths.

[Kyrie's expression darkens for a moment]

There's no reason to try to understand her.

[destage]

...Ah, like one of those...ouija boards, you mean? That doesn't sound like a bad idea...

[...oh. Sayaka catches that darkening, though, and...her face instantly shifts to concern.]

...She was my friend. I...think that's reason enough to at least try, but...

[...]

Ushiromiya-san, are you okay, after all of this?

[chessturner]

Good luck. I have nobody I'd like to contact, so I won't try, but if it gives you peace then go ahead, by all means.

[The question kind of makes Kyrie stop what she's doing. She slows down, finally being honest:]

To be frank, I'm fed up with this place. I'm not breaking down in despair or anything like that, but after almost two months of senseless deaths I'm starting to feel trapped. The only thing that keeps me going is what we may find next week.

[Too bad it'll be a sturdy wall and no new floor]

[destage]

[Sayaka nods her head at the first bit, but the second...dear god, that is certainly some high level Yikes right there. That's horrifying...]

...Oh, Ushiromiya-san...I'm so sorry. [That's honest, when she says that much.] No, it's very understandable to have that happen. To...feel trapped, and...

[...She finds she can't say much.]

...It's almost monotonous, isn't it?

[chessturner]

'Monotonous' is the right word for this.

[She seems to calm down, returning to cooking]

I at least want to find out what's the point of being here. Have you wondered that before?

[destage]

...Honestly, I have. I thought it might be because we all come from similar circumstances, but...no, it seems like we're all far more varied than that. I'm not sure there's a single similarity we all even share.

[Sayaka's lips purse a bit.]

[chessturner]

...I'm not sure if that's a relief or if that's upsetting.

[The group not having a common similarity, she means]

[destage]

I'd probably say it's both, unless we find something else out. I don't even have a single clue as to what connects us all..we're all entirely too different for that sort of thing.

[chessturner]

It's hard to imagine I have something in common with the likes of Marker-san, Lowell-san or Valentino-san. We don't even live in the same type of world.

[But it's kind of interesting to think about, what kind of common connection they all have]

[destage]

There's gotta be something we all have in common. Maybe the same blood type? Some kind of ancestor from ancient times?

[...She's kind of just throwing stuff out at this point, but it seems to genuinely amuse her a bit, if nothing else.]

[chessturner]

[The ridiculousness of such statement actually brings a smile out of Kyrie]

It'd be quite the twist if it turns out I have vampire ancestors. I don't think Marker-san would be amused if that turned out to be true.

[Kyrie would find that hilarious, though]

[destage]

She'd probably be wondering just what on earth some of her ancestors got up to.

[Sayaka hides a bit of a giggle behind her hand.]
