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.]

Anyway, I dunno about existential shit like that. I just feel like people have to live and not worry about it too much. Stuff like that, you'll just fuck yourself up if you think about it too hard, 'cause there are no real answers.

...It's getting Rakka to laugh a little though. Quiet and tired. But yup, that's happening.]
no subject
... Anyway, that's probably enough of that for one night. [ In fact, he probably filled his quota for the week. ] I can walk with you the rest of the way to the dining room, if you want.
no subject
...Thank you. And, I would like it if we walked the rest of the way.
[....She stands up fully beside him.]
Uh, and I can walk on my own, too.
no subject
Sure... I'm not gonna go to the gathering thing, though. Kinda got other stuff on my mind.
[ He's not feeling too up to talking to people he didn't choose to talk to. ]
no subject
You're not? [In a way, she understood, even if she seemed a little disappointed.]
...Oh. That's alright. I think I get it.
[She doesn't, not entirely. But she understands wanting to be alone at the moment.]
no subject
[ Maybe... no promises. ]
And I'll be around, just... so you know.
no subject
[Some other time then.]
...Oh! And, uh, thank you.
no subject
[ ... Seriously, don't. He will not know how to react and that's terrible. ]
