souls have been lost and the panic grows

[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

Are the two of you able to speak at all?

[personal profile] threeapplestall 2025-07-22 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep!

That only matters if Mutsumi-chan wants to listen, though.

...I suppose we could try to talk to her...

[ Her in particular? Luna's not too sure how helpful that would be... ]

[personal profile] threeapplestall 2025-07-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...

Mutsumi-chan will want to see how everything turned out for herself once I wake her up. And I'm... I'm not ready to pass through our reflections again.

[ She doesn't really know what exactly that means? Even if she can sort of guess. ]

So...you would rather we not?
threeapplestall: ((mortis) smug)

[personal profile] threeapplestall 2025-07-23 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Even if I'm miserable, even if it feels like there's a hollow where my heart should be...

I want to enjoy this life while I can. [There's an odd cadence to her words that's hard to identify.]
raisethemoon: ([I'll only keep on waiting])

[personal profile] raisethemoon 2025-07-23 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, she sure can't identify that! She can tell something is wrong, but that's no great credit to her, given the obvious subject matter. ]

Would it not be better if the both of you could enjoy your life? You might yet be able to reach some sort of accord.

That's the hope!

It's just that, well.

People will have to stop killing each other for that to happen, and I'm pretty sure that Typhon isn't going to stop after just one of these fiascos.
raisethemoon: ([stay good under pressure])

[personal profile] raisethemoon 2025-07-28 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
...no, certainly not. Now that he sees it can work.

[ The breaking point was reached too quickly. Now he knows that all he needs to do is cast around, testing threats and bribes until someone finally jumps. Over and over. ]

But you truly cannot try to reach an accord even so?
threeapplestall: ((mortis) smug)

[personal profile] threeapplestall 2025-07-28 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
We can try!

I just can't count on Mutsumi agreeing. She's a bit of a diva, you know?
raisethemoon: ([well I can keep on waiting])

[personal profile] raisethemoon 2025-07-29 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
...are you certain she is not just frightened? It is a scary thing, to lose control of oneself - I imagine it would be regardless of your intent.
