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.]

...That, I'm a little mixed on at this point. I think ultimately it's a good idea, but I do have some concerns that it's just going to result in another late night fight to the death or... something.

I'll probably feel a bit better about it once I've slept on it, but right now I'm just... wondering, I suppose.

[decrees]

I understand your concern. While it might be useful, we cannot guarantee that any of our instructors will know how to train others and will be capable of holding back.

[Accidental deaths probably count as murder, right? The Conductor's enough of an asshole to do that, he thinks.]

It might be best to hold off on that for the time being.

[oftheland]

Exactly. If we had equipment to decrease the possibility of someone getting their head cracked open or... something, I really wouldn't have as much of an issue with it.

[decrees]

[...giovanni, a woman just got her head cracked open oh my god]

I sincerely doubt the Conductor would find that a necessity. I'm not certain how to handle that, especially with the smaller girls like Rakka.

[Rakka would totally get accidentally murdered by someone... Let's try to avoid that.]

[oftheland]

[this will be his thing, won't it, accidentally walnutting after every trial]

Well, I suppose we could get some resources together through the sewing room if we wanted to put someone on protective gear duty... though, I'm not sure what the best way would be to go about making that with what we have.

[decrees]

[giovanni no.......]

Ah, that might be a good idea. I didn't look very closely at what we had in there, but perhaps we can make something that will work.

[...we're going to have to get someone who can sew...]

[oftheland]

...

I do think we at least have a fair number of people who actually know how to sew, although this is a bit of an odd order...

[decrees]

I'm sure someone will appreciate the challenge.

[oftheland]

I would hope so, at least, because I don't know the first thing about sewing. I guess it can't be that hard, but...

[decrees]

Neither do I. I've never had any reason to attempt before.

[...it'd be a shitshow...]

[oftheland]

I guess if we're really desperate, we'll have to. But it probably won't be that bad, will it?

[decrees]

I'm certain we can figure it out with enough dedication and practice.

[THIS CAN ONLY END IN TERRIBLE]

[oftheland]

Besides... it just has to be functional, right? Nobody's going to be that upset if it doesn't look that good.

[IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE HELL.]

[decrees]

Exactly. Function over fashion. Perhaps we'll get better with more attempts anyway.

[logan you are the goddamn king of albion, you care entirely too much about looking dignified, what are you doing]

[oftheland]

Right, exactly. If you get discouraged and give up after the first try, you're really never going to accomplish anything in life.

[decrees]

Of course. I have never been one to give up easily.

[oftheland]

I mean, I know there's a point when you probably should, but I feel like it's best to really exhaust things before you get there.
