it only hurts for a moment - you get used to it quickly

[swordsinternally]

[ 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: ]

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.

[ 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. ]

More or less... and you?

[its only polite to ask back.]

[unhalting]

Fine. [He glances over at the others who are around, including some of the people who are trying their hand at karaoke.]

...Guess we're gettin' used to this, huh.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It... appears that we are.

[Poe.. isn't sure if that's a good thing or not. He's... honestly leaning toward the latter.]

[unhalting]

[At the very least, there's enough people who look downcast that it isn't completely strange; it's clear enough that everyone's trying to deal with it in their own way, which is better than the alternative.]

You've seen a lot of this shit before, right? [Because that's what detectives do or something.]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... I've seen and written worse than the murders that have happened here. You... tend to see the best and worst of humanity as a detective.

[So... he's been able to adapt fairly well. It's more the social aspect of this whole situation that he's been struggling with.]

[unhalting]

[Maybe it's a little morbid to hear that Poe has written about worse considering the circumstances, but... Orga just accepts it. Besides, it's just writing.]

...So what's the best you've seen, then?
