it only hurts for a moment - you get used to it quickly
[ After everything's said and done, Shirou's going to go ahead and set things up for today. It's the same as always; nothing has changed-- but he still wants to believe that there's something worth in doing this, so he'll at least go ahead and do that once he's given out notes (or told a person verbally, one on one) under their door, a small neat note stating: ]
[ And for those who decide to make the trip to the simulation room, they'll find themselves walking into what seems to be a karaoke bar! Shirou's made it pretty spacious and there is, in fact, a table set up with some food for everyone to take - primarily burgers and ramen (hell, there's a bit of ramen burgers, too, the Biggest Cancer) - that he's made the decision to make, so feel free to take it, and he's willing to even get drinks for everyone, too.
This includes virtual drinks, as he actually has some experience working at a bar, even if it was more menial tasks and less bartending. But hey, there's a first time for everything, yeah?
And there's also the option to sing your heart out-- although that might not be the most appropriate, given the last execution, but he's. He's trying, anyway. ]
- For those who don't want to be alone today:
I know it's been a hard month. And I know it's probably going to get even more difficult from here. But I don't want anyone to give up just yet. If you'd like, there'll be food and drinks in the simulation room.
- E.

What.
... Wait, no. ]
Were you just ... curious? About that man's background, after everything that happened?
[ Even Terra remembers that being in 2D's title, and he's...well, he's not going to judge, if she wanted to know more. Still, he knows he wouldn't be able to read that. Not right now. ]
no subject
It was the first one I saw, and... Well.
I'd considered him a friend. [ It tastes sour in her mouth, those words, sour and poison, and cold. ]
no subject
[ Watching 2D's outbursts were painful enough, and enraging, because boy did what 2D say in the wake of his actions anger him.
The only thing he can be thankful of was that he hadn't been close to him, like Rebecca was. ]
...I can't say I knew him well, but I don't think I expected for any of that to happen.
[ ...Or rather, more realistically, for him to act like that afterwards. ]
no subject
[ Rebecca's not looking at Terra, not looking at the book. Dragging the words out. ]
He was there, when I learned... [ She just winces. ] I couldn't have expected it. The bastard took every kind thing, and just- just pissed it all away.
no subject
[ It was difficult for him, in a different way. ]
... This place just drags out the worst in people, doesn't it?
[ It brings their darkness to the surface, to those who can't resist it, and at the thought, he closes one of his hands into a tight fist. In the end, however, their actions will always be their own, whether though suggestion or not. ]
It makes me wonder what we can come up with to put a stop to people acting on these motives.
no subject
[ Her voice is hard and cold, but it wavers. It hurts, damn it. It hurts so much, to have that friendship ripped away. Just when she's been accepting other people in spite of...her own insecurities.
Rebecca sighs. ] It's not like they're doing the same thing, every week. We've already got our own disadvantage, with...well, with all this. We can't find a way to stop it, if it's going to change so radically every time.
no subject
Terra finds that some part of him feels some sort of satisfaction at hearing that. At the same time, it didn't make him feel all that necessarily good. It just was. ]
...Yeah, it was.
[ A shadow passes over his expression, but then it shifts to something more thoughtful as he considers her other words. ]
But, we have to at least continue to try, right? The alternative doesn't seem to give us much choice to do anything else if we don't want to seem like we're just...waiting around for people to lose it to whatever they're offering or forcing on us each week.
[ It just seems like the difference would be that, in the middle of their efforts, people would be losing their entire shit anyway. But at least no one could say most of them weren't trying...which would have to count for something. Though Terra's not feeling all that positive right now to say as much, to put it lightly. ]
no subject
[ And she has a feeling the rest of them don't, either. ]
no subject
[ ... ]
I guess it's really not something I've been wanting to admit. It feels like...saying as much is some sort of defeat.
[ And he doesn't like the way that it feels. Terra's never liked the feeling of being so powerless. But maybe he's looking at it the wrong way--still, it's how he feels about it. ]
no subject
[ There has to be something. There will be something. Right? ]
no subject
[ ... ]
Who knows? Maybe we'll come across something that'll finally make a difference...sooner than we think.
[ It sounds like wishful thinking all the same, but in a situation like this, if it's what helps them get through it before they get the right answers and get out of this somehow, then what's the harm? ]
no subject
[ She's quiet for a moment. ]
I... I'm sorry. About Maya. [ He'd known her for longer, after all. ]
no subject
...
[ He didn't know what to say to that, not right now. He doesn't want to say 'it couldn't be helped' for sure, because he didn't believe that at all. He'll just nod, to kind of acknowledge it. He's thankful for the thought, but he doesn't know how to put it into words. ]
I hope she's at least been able to find peace, even after all of that.
no subject
[ The note she could finally read, earnest and sweet. Rebecca needed some time, after that, to just cry. ]
...She was a good girl.
no subject
[ He closed his hands into tight fists, before releashing them with a sigh. He's too tired to even get worked up like this. ]
Let's continue to do all we can--not just for ourselves, but everyone else who can't.
no subject
[ Isabella. Ashton. Viral. Maya.
...
The friendship she thought she had. ]
