Afterparty 5.0

[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.]

... But you're not convinced, right?

[ Shame the Conductor won't anyone write letters back</>. ]

[forcegalactic]

I-I asked him what happened, but he said it wasn't his business. [So a non-answer.] I don't know anymore.

...If she's still alive, I have to give this back to her. She'd be upset if she had to buy a new one.

[openterrain]

Tch. Useless bastard.

[ Though Jean isn't particularly surprised by that. ]

What do you think if plan is for if we get out of here anyway? He has to realize there are plenty of people here stronger than him.

[forcegalactic]

Stronger than him if they had their powers. We gotta find out how to get 'em back first, but if not, I can always get the USSA get on his trail. They're experts at dealin' with intergalactic threats.

[The Conductor shouldn't have messed with space dad. His world is equipped with fighting criminals on faraway planets.]

[ 'If' is a good point, to be true, but even so... ]

It still makes me nervous. He doesn't seem like the type to miss something so obvious.

[forcegalactic]

No, and that's so worryin'. When I asked him about the rule where we're allowed to hurt him if he gives us his permission, he explained it was a precaution. Like he expected us to get revenge in one way or another. Like he doesn't care is he gets caught.

Likely, once we escape, he'll just wait until he's arrested. I don't understand him.
