marrow and blood encircle me

[That didn't work out so well, did it?

Two more people dead. Two more drawings join Scraggly, Fourtinbras, Shirou, and Alexander on the shrine, although it seems like Diego's might have been scribbled a little more haphazardly than the others. Not that it really matters; Cheryl's never been a very good artist, but it's the thought that counts.

Cheryl's holed herself up in the kitchen, having made a fresh pot of coffee and some sandwiches of various fillings (although several of these look like they may or may not be space tuna salad) before getting to work on a batch of cookies. They taste...kind of like snickerdoodles. In space, it's hard to tell.

She even raided what booze they had in the fridge and set it up in the mess hall, if you need that.

Of course, she's not going to complain if anyone else wants a go at the kitchen. But mostly, she just set everything up so others can come, rest themselves after a long day, and share in their collective grief.]

...Are you alright?

[Dumb question, possibly, but Pyrrha's also here, and it kills her seeing Leon like this, so she might as well say something.]

... M'fine...

[He mumbles, as he's not fine at all.]
tokencanadian: (Not okay)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2017-08-28 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well... [There's not a lot she can say to that. Hmm.]

Is there anything I can do to help? [She asks, like there really is something that can be done about this nightmare.]
toomanybaseballs: <user name=spiderneko site=tumblr.com> (I've told you time and time again)

[personal profile] toomanybaseballs 2017-08-28 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
... I dunno? What the hell could you do?
tokencanadian: (Forlorn)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2017-08-28 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. [It's strange saying that for her. Admitted she's lost.] I just felt it was the right thing to say.
toomanybaseballs: (I fought the law and the law won)

[personal profile] toomanybaseballs 2017-08-28 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Leon hesitates a bit. He isn't sure what to say either. But...]

... Thanks for at least saying something...
tokencanadian: (Down)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2017-08-28 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry. [She had to say it at least once.]

...Did you know either of them well? Abel? Or... Diego?

[Whatever his name was.]
toomanybaseballs: (pfft. whatever)

[personal profile] toomanybaseballs 2017-08-29 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

Not really. I'm actually kinda glad Diego's dead, to be honest...

It's the whole... THING, ya know? What if that... Happened to us?
tokencanadian: (Doubtful)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2017-08-30 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
...What do you mean? If we both... Or...?

[Leon, are you coming onto her in a bad way]
toomanybaseballs: (Sugar we're going down)

[personal profile] toomanybaseballs 2017-08-30 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh, no. If he was flirting, there would be less awkward fumbling around and more pickup lines.]

The killing game?!

[Erm.]

It's just like what Touko was talking about! Right down to the trials!
tokencanadian: (Surprised)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2017-08-30 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She was thinking about him murdering her?? or something??]

Well.... yes. [That's true.] I think she was telling the truth about everything.
toomanybaseballs: (I lost my girl and I lost my fun)

[personal profile] toomanybaseballs 2017-08-30 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh hell no. He wouldn't stand a chance.]

Yeah, that's the worst part.

[Has she told her?]

She told me I should be dead right now.
tokencanadian: (Doubtful)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2017-08-31 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
I... remember that.

[During their first day, the minor breakdown Fukawa had over it. It seemed like it was so long ago, even if it wasn't even a month.]

I mean, you're not dead, Leon. You're right here.
toomanybaseballs: (YOU OUTTA YOUR MIND)

[personal profile] toomanybaseballs 2017-09-01 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I know! But if she's telling the truth, I...

... It's freaking weird, man.
