As we go on, we remember all the times we had together.....

[lockdownmods]

[ It's been a long, long day, but you aren't quite done, Prospects. When the execution is over, the group is ushered to the cafeteria, where there's a reward waiting. There are boxes upon boxes of pizza, in a variety of flavors—if you can think of it, it's probably there. There are even boxes of dessert pizza, and cheesy bread with white and red dipping sauces. There's soda, too, all a twisted prize for a job well done.

As far as you're concerned, you're done here… but the screen in the room that says RESULTS PENDING... That's pretty curious, isn't it? Regardless, Prospects, you've earned this.

Additionally, if someone goes to Mishima's room, there's something to note in Mishima's desk. Perhaps you should bring it to the others' attention.

Just one more thing. The girl with the purple hair... What was her name, again? ]

OOC NOTE: Congratulations on a successful mock round, guys! Just one thing to note: Characters will forget Kaoru Seta gradually. The pace is up to you, but by the time Round One comes along, characters will have forgotten her completely. Have fun, and enjoy your sad pizza party!

[ Actually understanding the younger ones, seeing them sad... It's hard for Hollyleaf to ignore them. They're not quite the size of Twoleg kits; probably apprentices, maybe early warriors.

The point is, there's something universal in it. The Warrior Code says, after all... No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.

...

Even if the kit is a different species, Hollyleaf recalls, sharply aware that this isn't the only time she's added that nuance to the code.

Before she leaves for her vigil, she quietly walks over to Hanamaru and jumps up on the table. She doesn't say anything, just lays down in front of the girl. Any hostility or distrust she's shown the humans here is gone. ]

[ Hanamaru can't help but wonder if things could have been handled differently. She has so many regrets and she wishes that she could have done something, anything that might have helped save people. Because of this, she's so lost in thought, that she hasn't even paid much attention to the people around her.

It's when she hears the sound of footsteps hopping onto the table, she finally snaps back into reality, removing her hands away from her face, eyes stained with tears. ]

Ah...

[ It takes her a moment to process what's going on. She loves cats and seeing Hollyleaf reminds her of her own kitty back home. Out of habit, one of her hands reaches out and is getting ready to pet her but she immediately jerks her hand away, not wanting to pet her without permission. ]

Sorry. It's um, probably rude to pet without asking...

[ Granted, she's never spoken to a cat before. ]

[recodified]

[ But, Hollyleaf just blinks slowly and lowers her head. ]

I appreciate it. But, I wouldn't be over here if I didn't expect it. Go on.

[papernote]

... Thank you. I really appreciate it.

[ The sentiment is really sweet and since the executions, a small smile finally forms on her lips. Without any hesitation, she stretches her arm out and gently rubs her hand on top of her soft head.

Petting her like this felt comforting. It's just what she needed after what happened. ]

You're very pretty, zura. Hehe, I can tell you take good care of your fur.
