I'll wait, so show me why you're strong
[And so the day's trial for the attempted murder of Gabriel Knight draw to a close with... charitably better results then usual.
They were alive, at the least, but that didn't mean there wasn't several blows against the trust that had been built up here. One mole that attempted murder, another that quit, and another that was given the offer no doubt put strain on several relationships... most notably Sigrun's.
It was all, in a word... frankly shitty. But now it's all out there, no sense in trying to get it back.
An hour (or two) after the "trial" ends and everyone's gone off on their own business, Speedwagon heads back to the kitchen. It was the usual plan in mind, what they did after every trial. And everyone, regardless of what was said or done, would soon find a note being slipped under their door.]
[Name],
There's gonna be food in the dining hall, in case anyone's got an appetite for it.
I know some might want to be alone after that mess of an investigation, but if you don't then the offer's as open as it's always been.
I'd say sticking together might still be safer then not.
-R E.O. Speedwagon
[And yes, folks that arrive in the dining hall will find a nice spread of sandwiches, soup, and what leftovers Speedwagon could scrounge out of the fridge. Speedwagon isn't the best cook in the group, but there's definitely stuff here that's good enough to eat.
...Sigrun's 'masterpiece' was, thankfully, left out of this. Keeping folks alive is the goal, after all.]

Not at the afterparty
It'll be the first time he won't go to the Afterparty. In the other weeks, no matter what happened, everyone could count with seeing him there.
Today it is different. He receives Speedwagon's note, only crumpling it in his hands and throwing it against the wall.
If you somehow miss his presence in the afterparty feel free to come to Room #2 and try to talk to him. Let yourself be warned: he probably is going to be angry with you, no matter who you are. Some aren't going to have as many faults as others, but eh. So if you feel like getting some bitterness directed on you go ahead and knock on his door]
Room 2
So, sometime into the evening, Mouri will get a knock at his door. And an even-leveled voice calls out.]
Detective? You in there?
Re: Room 2
What do you want?
[It is not an auspicious response, but it is better than getting told to go get lost]
no subject
It's Speedwagon, I set you that note a bit earlier. Thought I'd check up on you since I never saw you show up to the dining hall. It's simple like that.
no subject
[At least you don't have much fault about anything that happened, so you're being more or less spared his anger. Yay?]
no subject
Is this about the trial? You're putting blame on yourself, then?
no subject
[Whooops]
I'm blaming everyone in this place! No matter what happens there are always a few people who are working against the rest. And then some are going to cover up for them! Why would they do that?! It's stupid! And the rest are going to lose their minds in various ways, and it all ends being a disaster!
[At least he's shouting all this only to Speedwagon. It's better than Mouri standing in the Dining Hall broadcasting this to everyone]
What good can come from going and trying to be amiable with people if at the end it will end in something like what happened today? You saw what happened in the trial! How will we get anywhere or escape after...after all that?!
no subject
Well... I'd say it's basic human nature, if we're getting right down to that. I can't say that I fully understand why some of them would go working for a bloke like that, but I can't exactly argue about it now can I? Not like we can punish them anymore then simply keeping an eye on them and taking away Black's phone.
[He can't begin to talk about how betrayed he may feel with these people... but he's a fair bit more sympathetic then that.]
I'll say this: it's not a disaster until we're all lying dead. Until then, we can do something about this.
no subject
How are we expected to find anything in just a few days when we haven't found it in two months?!
no subject
[Plain and simple, really.]
Frankly all that matters is if we try.... giving half a damn about getting out is already a step in the right direction. And we've got information from Black to help us.
no subject
...yes. You are right. I know that is true, and that the people left here isn't the type to give up. I'd say I'm the least determined person around [Leaving Black aside], so...maybe things won't be as bad as I think they'll be?
[It's a very obvious request for reassurance. It has been a long while since anything like that was asked]
no subject
...Looking at it now, we're all feeling up to punching a few teeth out of that evil Kingmaker's mug. But this really did put a dent on things, didn't it? [to say the least] Who knew he'd tried to keep himself connected to what's going on like that.
no subject
I do know I'll be on the line to cause some sort of injury to him. I suppose you'll want to do the same.
no subject
Hmm. [He nods] At this point, I'd be half shocked if anyone didn't want to have a swing at him when he ever shows up. He's caused us enough grief and frustration to last a lifetime.
