Didn't we just do this last week?

[perpend]

[It's starting to look like this is going to be a weekly occurrence.

Just like last week, Cabanela waits a while before he makes his rounds, writing everyone quick notes and sliding them under each occupied door.]

Stay strong.
If you don't want to be alone tonight, meet in the dining hall.
-Cabanela

[Like last week, Cabanela hasn't bothered to provide anyone with food-- that would just be... rude right now, he thinks. Upon first entering, you'll notice that there are now four lit candles in the center of one of the tables.

Feel free to leave mementos for the dead; it's probably appreciated.]

[ Just as with last time, Asuka's going to be ignoring the note and spending most of the time after the trial in her room. Asuka always preferred being alone; tonight would obviously be no different. Just as with last time, though, she's not going to outright ignore any visitors that come by, though she could probably be forgiven for not being in the mood to do much.

She will, however, come out eventually, clad in her red hat, heading to the kitchen to grab herself a quick snack or two after realizing she hasn't eaten all day. She's more than open to being harassed during that time, of course, but she'll probably be a little mad about it..! ]

[Elise looks up and nods at Asuka.] Ah... hello. Thank you. For your assistance, I mean.

[crimsonchin]

Assistance? I'm afraid i didn't do all that much...

[ Asuka's still digging through the fridge, but even so... ]

I just did what I had to do. It wasn't a lot. In fact, my mole suggestion might have hurt us more than helped, in the long run.

[announcemyvictory]

Moles aside, you were right to keep track of all the supplies. We might never have solved that issue otherwise. That's a better thing to take out of this.

[crimsonchin]

I figured having a quartermaster figure would come in handy, so I'm glad my efforts paid off, in that regard.

[announcemyvictory]

Oh, like on a boat? I suppose that would make sense, if you're used to that kind of thing.

[crimsonchin]

Call it my Air Force training coming into play.

[perpend]

[It's a while before Cabanela goes looking for Asuka; he let her be the last time, but eventually he approaches her dorm room, knocking twice.]

It's Cabanela.

[He won't blame her for telling him to bug off, honestly.]

[crimsonchin]

Ah, Inspector...

[ Asuka opens the door just a crack, to let him in... ]

Did you need something?

[perpend]

Nothing in particular.

[He steps in, giving her a friendly look. He doesn't look particularly worried or anything, but given how hard he's being going HOPE at people, it's probably not a shock why he's here.]

I just wanted to see how you've been holding up tonight.

[crimsonchin]

About as well as I am more or less every other night.

I just don't like being around big crowds of people, if I can help it.

[perpend]

[He nods. It's perfectly understandable, really; the notes are left as an invitation, not as a demand.]

Peerfectly understandable. I'm just makin' rounds, making sure everyone is doing as well as they could.

[crimsonchin]

I appreciate the check-up, but I'm fine. ...I'm not the kind of person who's overly emotional at this sort of thing. I guess I've become numb to it.

[Weiss isn't going to make a lot of conversation; she's not in the mood for much of it herself.]

I'm not going to ask if you're okay, or anything, because none of us are. If you need anything, though - or even if you want to talk missions, battles, all that - you know where to find me.

[crimsonchin]

I appreciate it. Thank you.

I don't like getting too much into personal things. But talking about fights doesn't seem all that appropriate, either, considering what happened today. I'm...open to discussion, regardless.

[Here's a girl making herself a sandwich. ...Not a hot one, she doesn't want to find out if this place has a smoke detector. And who does she see then, but Asuka.]

...You're wearing the hat.

[crimsonchin]

Hm?

[ She looks over at Ashley, a bit confused... ]

Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[She smiles.]

No... There's no reason why you wouldn't, I'm just...glad to see it, after everything today.

[crimsonchin]

Well, you made it. You should be proud of it; I think it looks really good on me, after all, now that I've been able to get a good look at it.

...Thanks, again, by the way.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

You are very welcome. Definitely a good design choice, if I do say so myself...

[Sooo.]

...What're you doing up and about? Pre-midnight snack?

[sunsong]

Whatcha plannin' on makin'? Want me to show you where the sweets are?

[ Sol is a fan of sweets making life better. ...Though they can't wipe away death... ]

[crimsonchin]

...Actually, if you could, that'd be excellent.

[ Asuka hasn't really been able to find them herself. ]

[sunsong]

They're packaged really, like...plainly.

[ She goes for a certain cupboard and starts shoving things aside, reaching in back. ]

But I'd say they're pretty high class?

[crimsonchin]

All the better to keep them a secret...we'll keep them between us, then.

[sunsong]

I promise not to tell if you don't!

[ She grins widely. ]

I mean, I dunno if Mordecai and Sukuyo already know or anythin'. They're in here a lot...but I'm pretty sure at least a lot of the others don't, or surely they'd be eating them more?
