It keeps happening

[forcegalactic]

[After that horror show of an execution, Mordecai is still restless from the investigation and trial. He has too much pent-up energy, and plenty of others are sure to be upset, too. Ashley was loved by nearly all of them, the trial was mentally draining, and that execution was crueler than it should have been.

Two hours after everyone has returned to their rooms, they'll find a note slipped under their doors.]

We can't go on with empty stomachs. There's food in the kitchen, and the dining room is always open if you need someone to talk to.

Please keep anything outside of eating and civilized conversation away from the dining hall. That room is meant to be a peaceful place for those of us that need it.

-Mordecai Benmont Jiminy

[Today, there's cream of tomato soup warming up on the stove with a set of bowls besides it. It's a more mindless dish to prepare than mashed potatoes, as much as Mordecai wants to vent his frustrations on the potatoes.

He decides to follow Cabanela's tradition and lights one more candle, and after some consideration, lights a sixth. Let those who cared about either girl pay their respects.]

[It takes a minute for Weiss to come to the door; she takes a minute to brush her hair and wash her face. She can't hide all the evidence that she's been crying, but she can at least pull herself together a little.]

- hello, King Logan. Are you holding up all right?

[decrees]

Hello, Weiss.

[He hesitates for a moment before shaking his head.]

I doubt anyone will be alright after... that.

[Literally all of that.]

I apologize for the intrusion, but I thought you might like some company.

[He's hardly the best for it, but he doesn't want to leave her alone right now.]
