It keeps happening

[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.

I know what gravity is in the practical sense.

[You are getting such an 'are you kidding me' look right now.He really didn't expect anyone to comprehend the idea--that was why he'd kept Pucci around.]

The literal definition isn't what I mean. It's just a term I seem to have assigned to describe an abstract concept surrounding the idea of 'why do people meet each other?' As you said, it's a metaphor--illustrating that some people are simply drawn together for larger reasons they can't understand.

I'm familiar with mythology like that. Gods interfering with fate and toying with humans--the three Moirai, the Golden Apple of Discord, even the more recent Doctor Faustus. I would think that anything with enough power would view mortals as pawns or playthings; just look at the Conductor.

[Or in a fucking mirror, Dio.]

But I'm afraid I don't know what the Galaxium is.

Effectively gods in their own right, then. What's to stop them, apart from 'they aren't allowed'?

...And you just trust some force like that not to ruin your lives at their smallest whim?

Would you not count those bad circumstances as interfering with your life?
