i'm just young enough to still believe, but young enough not to know what to believe in

[ What do you do after all that?

Well, you mourn. After...an hour or so, a note goes out, under everyone's doors- everyone's. ]

If you also don't want to be alone after the day we've had, come to the second floor of the dormitories. Food and drink will be provided. Alcohol will be confiscated immediately.

[ You'll find Rebecca's set up the common area with food, that she seems to keep supplying, every so often. It's kind of strange, though, she seems like the sort of person to harp on eating well? She definitely has, for some of you. Yet, the food seems a strange split. On one side, there's all kinds of fruits and vegetables and breads. Legumes, made maybe not the best, but it's still an effort. Vegetable soups, no meat in sight. Simple seafood. If you're familiar with Greek culture? Yeah. It looks a lot like something they'd describe in...a history book.

On the other side? God, it's all burgers and pizzas and...pineapples? Pineapple juice? What the heck, Rebecca? In any case, there's enough food to keep everyone fed, and it seems...Tess, oddly enough, keeps bringing batches of burgers from the kitchen?! What a team-up.

The Starbucks is open too, where it's a bit...quieter? Some tea and coffee set up, there.

For those who just want to cry, in peace. ]

... Yeah.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

..... We're running out of time in that regard.

[They only have... what... three cases left??? At least six more people will die before the end of this....]

[swordsinternally]

We are.

And... I'd do anything to make sure that things don't end up in the worst case scenario. But if something does happen, I won't hold back.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[Poe looks at Tsukasa with a deep frown on his face. Knowing Tsukasa... him not holding back means....]

Fair warning.... if you not holding back is something that will potentially get you executed... I can and will use the one favor the Clown owes me to get him to stop you. It's unlikely that the administration will kill us all at the end of it... so if we can't stop them by that point... the best course of action is to bide our time and plan. Going out in a blaze of glory..... it's not going to accomplish anything. If you survive to the end of this... then please don't throw your life away at the very last second.

[swordsinternally]

You can try. But if Akira dies... I'm killing his murderer. And if you attempt to get the clown to stop me, I'll kill him, too. That's all.

[ His voice runs cold and it's obvious that he is completely and absolutely serious about this. ]

It'll be easy, so I won't hesitate. Because nothing else would matter at that point.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

....... I can't say I don't understand your reasoning.

[............]

I... don't approve of it... but it'd.... it'd be hypocritical of me to stop you.

[He's.... a selfish person too after all... He.... can't say he'd be able to completely hold himself together if someone killed Waver or Gogol... or even Tsukasa or Akira ... or... if any of his friends killed someone else and he knew ahead of time... and was on the suspect list.... Poe's fairly certain he'd try and scapegoat himself.]

[swordsinternally]

... Don't tell Akira I said that, though.

[ His voice lowers a bit, sounding slightly guilty. ] It's only in the worst case scenario.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

..... Only because I know telling him wouldn't stop you.

[He's not happy about this... but he knows telling Akira would accomplish nothing.]

[swordsinternally]

You're right. It wouldn't have.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... If there's an afterlife.... his ghost is going to be furious with you.

[swordsinternally]

I can't go to the afterlife, even if there was one.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

..... Right.

[That's... fine.]
