Looks like this will be a weekly thing

[forcegalactic]

[This whole week has been awful. This whole experience has been awful. Mordecai wants to go straight to his room and deal with his frustrations, but that's not what a mayor does. A mayor takes charge, a mayor fixes what's wrong, a mayor makes things better. Even if he can't do everything on his own, he's has to do something.

Two hours after the end of the trial, the living will find another note slipped underneath their doors.]

There's cookies in the kitchen. The dining room is ready for anyone who needs a quiet place to talk it out. I'll be in the bar if you need a drink, alcoholic or something more appropriate for the underage crowd.

-Mordecai Benmont Jiminy

[There's a pile of warm chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen. Two more candles are lit at the memorial - one for the victim, one for the culprit - and Mordecai has left a pile of blankets from the storage room on one of the dining room tables.]

I know how you feel.

[Although it's not surprising to her. At the same time...]

The conductor gave us bonuses for killing at first. Now he's forcing us to act. It's not much of a consolation, but he's going to run out of ways to get us to kill each other.

[icysemblance]

It's cold comfort, but I'll take what I can get.

[When she laughs, it's a hollow sound.]

I'll be really glad when we're all safe at home. I miss it more the longer we're here.
