souls have been lost and the panic grows

[phototraces]

[That... that was hell, actually. Wendy didn't like that at all. After the trial she... has to head to the kitchen and hopefully not find clay shit everywhere. She needs to do something to keep things under control. To keep things going.

She's not a great cook but she knows the basics. Meat. Bread. Cheese. Something warm for the belly to drink. She's nervous when she works but she's relentless. There's no asking for help from her as she makes a spread for everyone. Then... she's moving all of it not to the eatery but the bonfire.

Making makeshift tables around it and placing trays of food and drink. Even setting up a chair for Alex a good distance away from the fire but close enough that he can be part of things if he wants to.

Wendy, with her careful writing, writes up some notes and hands them out to everyone if she can find them or if not under their door.

Food at the bonfire and the area around it. Attendance not mandatory but it's probably better for all of us if we stick together. Bring more food and drink if you want.

Wendy

...She can't control other people but she can try to suggest.]

[He nods, finally smiling a bit]

Pragmatic as usual. But I can not help but agree.

If it makes you feel better, it's possible the environment made everyone more negative than usual. I'm not saying all they said wasn't their actual belief, but everything around them may have made them more entrenched into that disagreement than they'd be otherwise.

[markofnobility]

Hm. Perhaps...

[stress made them all irrational. Him incuded. Yet somehow that just makes his chest ache even more]

I... will try not to take it too personally.

[cannotunravel]

That said, try not to apologize to anybody. You did nothing wrong.

[Hah, okay, Misane advising to be stubborn over his ideals. Whether it's the right thing or not she doesn't know, but better stick by his ideals and optimism]

[markofnobility]

[he gives a startled little half laugh at that]

Ferdinand von Aegir never apologizes for his ideals, worry not.

[That doesn't mean he won't apologizes for everything else]

[cannotunravel]

That reminds me: why do you use your full name so much?

[What's up with that, buddy?]

[markofnobility]

[The conversational right hook takes him right the fuck out. He practically reels, blinking at her with mouth slightly agape]

I... suppose it is because I am proud of my name and position. Oh! Do you think I should add my godly domain to it as well?

[cannotunravel]

[Yeah, it was such a sudden swerve Misane suffered damage to her mental fortitude HP. Still, if not now, when else would she ask that, hah!

Hearing that question, Misane finds herself with a dilemma. Should she encourage that? Would Ferdinand using his godly domain as well be seen by others as annoying, or endearing?

........

Well, Ferdinand is very endearing. So...why not?]

You should. It's something important right now.
