Afterparty 5.0

[forcegalactic]

[There's not much that can be believed about that trial. Or that execution. Still, like before, two hours after everyone leaves, they'll find a note slipped underneath their doors.]

We have to stick together. The dining room is there for anyone that needs a quiet space, and I cooked dinner.

Hibiki made some coffee and dessert for all of us.

-Mordecai Benmont Jiminy and Hibiki Ganaha

[Today's selection includes potato pancakes and a light coffee cake. Hibiki has lit two more candles in the dining hall. It doesn't take long before Mordecai lights a third.]

[He'll approach Marty after a long moment.]

I know it's hard, but you need to keep going.

[ He's quiet for a moment or two. ]

What's the point? We're all probably gonna be dead by the end of this month anyway!

I can't keep doing this.

You can't let the Conductor win.

[It's said with as much determination as he can muster.]

Keep eating. Refuse to give in. You don't need to do too much to be defiant.

Letting him win...[ He hadn't thought about it like that. With that new mindset, Marty's going to grab a pancake and bring it back, munching on it lightly. He still doesn't feel good, but fuck this place.

After a bite or two, he realizes how goddamn good this thing is. ] Can't say I thought about it that way.

[Cabanela smiles.]

That's the spirit.

This is a game of wits; he wants all of us to give up hope-- you can't let that happen.
