Didn't we just do this last week?

[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.]

[..."Another life"...]

I'm sorry. This... None of us ever should have had to go through this. Being trapped here, forced to vote to kill... It's a horrible situation.

[He had no problems voting for Undyne. He liked her and he hadn't wanted her to die, but he had voted for her to save himself. It hadn't even occurred to him how horrible that was. He's really changed in the past four years, hasn't he?]

...We're doing what we have to in order to survive by the Conductor's rules.

[And sure, maybe they could vote in the minority like he did in the first trial, but if everyone starts doing that...]

[ you don't know the half of it, Logan ]

I know we are. That doesn't change what it is, does it? Both times I voted, I took responsibility for what I was doin'. And I'm...going to have to take responsibility whenever I get back, I'll have to tell him what I've done and I know it ain't something that's easily forgiven.

[ Taking a life, the one thing she'd promised to never to again. ]

I just - I feel like I should've been able to figure out another way! Any other way than this.

...Believe me, I know. I have searched for a way since the first trial, but... I don't believe there's anything else we can do. It's either play by the Conductor's rules or risk breaking them and taking whatever punishment he deems fitting.

[Death, probably.]

I will never be able to forgive myself for what I've done, but right now the most important thing to focus on is getting as many of us out of here as possible.

Yeah. That's...what I'm focused on, too. I'll bet my life on at least that much...

[ It won't do a thing balanced against all her sins, but it's what she wants to do. Get as many as humanly possible out of this. ]

If you come up with a plan, let me know. I'll back you on it.

I appreciate it. For now my only plan is to wait until I have a chance to kill the Conductor.

[WHAT A WONDERFUL PLAN]

[ WELL, CHRIST, YOU KNOW HE'S LISTENING, RIGHT? ]

...I'll give you points for a straightforward plan, there.

[OH DON'T WORRY, HE DOESN'T PLAN ON STABBING THE CONDUCTOR IN THE BACK, HE MIGHT AS WELL GET SOME ADVANCE WARNING]

After everything he's put us through, I don't believe he deserves to live. I understand that this is hardly a good decision to make, but I do not want him to repeat this again. No one else should have to go through what we have.

[...THE SOLUTION IS ALWAYS MURDER]

[ SOL WOULD BEG TO DIFFER, LOGAN but ]

No, they shouldn't. But would killin' that guy really help at all? He volunteered for the job. That means someone else fuckin' posted it.

...He was the one who executed Reaver.

[logan oh my god could you at least pretend this isn't about revenge]

Though I will not allow them to continue this either. Anyone involved in this sick game will not escape with their lives. I will gladly bear the burden of ending their lives.

[...Likes: executions.]

[ ...Christ, Logan. ]

I don't want anyone bearing that burden for my sake. I mean - I...can't use that as some sort of excuse not to take responsibility. You know? I...don't think it's acceptable for this to happen again, either.

...Ah...

[YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY wow good job logan you're finally realizing this]

My apologies, I am... exceptionally rash when I'm angry. Perhaps there is some other way for us to solve this.

[HE HECKED UP]

...No big deal. [ She gives him a small, reassuring smile. ] As long as you know it, you can work on it, can't you? ...And it might come to that, but even so...I'd like to look for another way first. So I can meet them all in the eyes.

[Wow, Sol, you sure do handle crazy murderous kings pretty well...]

Of course. There must be another way; I do hope we come up with something.

[For her sake, at least. He really won't have any problems killing everyone involved in this, but it's probably best to search for another way first.]

[ she might have you beat on bodycount, logan, she can handle a little murderous-ness ]

Well, I say that, but so far I haven't got a clue...even that library didn't help a whole lot, did it?

No, it didn't. I couldn't find anything useful in there.

[...admittedly he didn't look very hard because he's been fucked up this whole week, but still.]

Ugh. I wish we'd get a room that was useful, like - like a gym.

[ SHE'S SURE IN LUCK IN THE COMING WEEK since finally a place to run around ]

Ah, that might be nice. It's been quite some time since I last did any sort of training.

[Working out excess energy is always a good thing! Though this usually involves sparring and not... typical gym-stuff.]

Right??? As it is, runnin' through the halls is basically all we can do, and that's hardly enough!

[...this is kind of the most hilarious mental image for some reason...]

Not at all, no. Since this is hardly any sort of school I'm familiar with, perhaps you'll get your wish.

[ SOL DOES IT SOMETIMES...FOR EXERCISE... ]

Maybe we'll get a pool, too.

...How many of us know how to swim...?

[THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD WAY FOR SOMEONE TO ACCIDENTALLY DROWN]

...Well, I know Luna and I do...do you not?

[ SHE'S NOT SURE RE: EVERYONE ELSE... ]

I do, yes, but it's not very common. Not many people live near the lake or the ocean.

[WELCOME TO ALBION]

Oh, at your home? Well...a lot of the people around here seem to be from Japan, which is, y'know. An island nation, so...

[ SHE FIGURES MOST OF THE JAPANESE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SWIM? ]

Ah, is it? That's interesting. In that case I'd imagine they know how to swim, yes.

[OH MY GOD LOGAN ALBION IS ON AN ISLAND TOO YOU JUST HAVEN'T TAKEN OVER THE WHOLE LANDMASS YET]
