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. ]

[ . . . haaah. ]

I'll be more myself by tomorrow. Tonight - honestly, I don't even know where I'm going with things tonight, other than I'm taking her clothes.

[bloodbiter]

I see. You're sure you'd rather be alone, then...?

[matchbreaker]

[ Of course not. Being alone is the worst. ]

If you intend to sit with me, you're free to. I don't know what I have to say now.

[bloodbiter]

[A nod, full of certainty.]

Then I shall sit with you.

[matchbreaker]

Then we're off. I'm going to Aligula's room.

[ And there... there she won't be in a sea of death. Just... just a tomb. It's better than a memorial. ]

[bloodbiter]

[She gives a nod and follows suit.]

Do you have the key?

[matchbreaker]

As if that woman left it locked. She was committed to her fun and died for it.

[ She huffs this, marching down the hall towards the room. she doesn't have a key, but she's sure - absolutely certain - that Aligula left it unlocked. ]

[bloodbiter]

I see. You knew her better than I did.

[So she's certain that Elda must be correct there.]

[matchbreaker]

Insofar as she let anyone know her, yes.

[ But either way, Elda will be proved right - the door is unlocked, and all this awaits. ]

[bloodbiter]

[Adelina waits until Elda enters to do the same, and then looks around at the collection.]

...She kept a great deal here, didn't she?

[matchbreaker]

I've got more than this sitting around at my place.

[ Is what she says, but... she doesn't even go for her objective. She just... sort of sits at the end of the girl's bed. ]

[bloodbiter]

You must have quite the collection, then.

[She watches that, but doesn't move to sit herself. It would feel too strange, given the fact that she didn't know Aligula as well.]

[matchbreaker]

I've just happened to use that vending machine a lot.

[ So this... is Aligula's room.

... And she's dead.

Elda looks down at her knees. She's not sure what she feels now, really. ]

[bloodbiter]

[She stands there in silence for a few moments, but as she watches Elda there, the sight shifts something inside of her. Adelina takes a few paces inside and sits next to Elda on the bed in a silent show of solidarity.]

[matchbreaker]

[ it's appreciated. It... it really is on some level, even if Elda doesn't seem to want to talk. Hell, she barely seems to know what to feel for many long seconds. And then, finally, she puts her face in her hands. This - screw all of this.

She'll be at this for a long while. ]

[bloodbiter]

[She looks down at her in concern for a moment or two, but then shifts again. Her hand moves to rest gently on the older woman's back, trying to provide some measure of reassurance.]
