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.]

It's, like, I don't want to remember any of this? Which, is weird because you know. I, like, fight giant robots and murder bad guys. This is . . . this is whatever, compared to that? But it's, like, harsher than I'm used to.

Well, you see, you get an adrenaline rush out of punching robots and dragons and whatnot.

[let's heat up that stuff, then...]

That's fun, you know? You can feel good about fighting a robot. This is just kind of soul eroding, because you're just watching people you're slowly getting to know over the course of weeks kill each other, which may lead to them killing you.

[zomgboom]

It's also, like. With robots, I know where, like, I stand or whatever? I know what I'm fighting. Here's it's, just. Who is the Conductor? Am I fighting him? Am I fighting someone else? I don't, like, know and that's demoralizing or whatever.

[oftheland]

Right, exactly. And... well, we don't really have access to the Conductor, and at the moment... well, it's not like we can fight him. Our only really obvious option is to fight and kill each other, but... honestly, I'm pretty sure even if there were those among us who would normally be okay with that, they'd want to refuse it out of spite at the moment.
