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.]

[heymcfly]

Yeah. I called the Conductor an asshole on his profile and she drew this to add to it.

[ A grin came to his face. ] It was pretty heavy. She thought about the cows dying and everything.

[perpend]

Ha!

She has a pretty interesting sense of humor, doesn't she?

[Had, but...]

[heymcfly]

[ Marty was about to agree until he caught that. He's not gonna correct it though, because...well. ] Yeah she did. She had guts.

[ He sticks his hands in his vest pockets. ] Brave as hell.

[perpend]

Yeah, she sure was.

[She hadn't lied to them, even knowing full well what was about to happen to her.]

We'll get out of here, for her sake. I don't know if it's possible to help her people, but I'm willing to do anythiiing I can.

[heymcfly]

Yeah. About that.

[ He wasn't around her enough, hopefully he doesn't sound like a complete jackass by asking... ]

What doya mean by 'her people'?

[perpend]

The people she was trying to protect in the underground, like she mentioned in the trial.

[It's not like he was around her much, either.]

[heymcfly]

Oh, right. [ He shakes his head. ] Sorry. I was paying attention.

This just seems...not real. [ He looks up to Cabanela with a sad kind of look. ] How's this all even happening?

[perpend]

I dooon't know. It's not a good thing.

But I want you to remember that this is real, no matter how strange it feels.

We owe it to Kaneki, Undyne, and Byakuren.

[...]

Reaver, too.

[heymcfly]

[ Marty nods along, his face sullen. ] Even Reaver.

What do you think about that? About him killing people?

[perpend]

He was a corrupt man, but people like that deserve to have justice brought upon them by the people whom they hurt.

That's what I think.

[heymcfly]

[ Marty has the feeling that Cabanela doesn't want to talk much about this anymore. He can definitely respect that. ] Right. Right.

Sorry. I was just wondering.

[perpend]

[Actually, he doesn't have a problem discussing it at all.]

There's no need to apologize. We're having a discussion, aren't we?

[heymcfly]

'S true, I guessed [ he gives a sheepish kind of smile. ]

I don't wanna sound like an asshole though.

[perpend]

You dooon't sound anything like that. Not to worry!

[Seriously, it's cool.]

[heymcfly]

Alright. [ he gives a small smile. ]

Anything else we need to talk about? With the machines or anything?

[perpend]

Caaaan't say there's anything in particular we need to discuss; I'm just heeere to check on you.

[heymcfly]

Thanks maaaaan. [ he smiles! ] I appreciate it. Even if it doesn't show that much.

[perpend]

Of course.

I do what I can.
