i'll wait, so show me why you're strong

[ Generally, people need time to cope and gather themselves after a... thing... like that. Unfortunately, that's not how Vanille sees it. Her thing is avoid, and once she gets out of that hellhole that's the courtroom, she makes her way to the supplies closet, then to the library. She spends some time setting up things, pushing things aside to make room. Once she's finished, and she's met up with the Party Brigade, she makes enough invitations for everyone. She slips them under everyone's doors, or hands them out if she sees someone walking around.



Inside the library, there are candles set up to provide some soft, comforting lighting. There are pots of tea, courtesy of Mercy, pancakes made by Viktor, and books (picked out by Estelle, of course) laid out on the surrounding tables. The others have provided their own touches, and Vanille's even managed to make something: sugar cookies, which are actually very good. They're flavored lightly with all sorts of flavors--not all in the same cookie, okay--and each plate is marked with whatever flavor she's put in them.

After a successful trial, it's healthy to indulge, right? Let's mingle. ]

Yes, I should hope so. At the very least, for the sake of preserving their own life.

[Yeah that... no one should want or have to face a fate like that.]

[tsugomori]

Yes, as I'm sure there are a lot of people who still value their lives at least.

[ Or... as far as he knows. ]

Anyway, did you set up the tea? It tastes pretty good.

[spiritform]

I did not, although it is excellent. I was told it was made by Mercy.

[She's never made tea, although she is increasingly curious to try her hand at it sometime. It has a good taste.]

[tsugomori]

Oh, I see. I'll make sure to convey my thanks to her sometime.

[ That said... ]

But, I still wanted to thank you for help setting this up. I'm sure its doing us all some good.

[Milla shook her head. It hadn't been her idea-- she just shared the sentiment of the other girls.]

I just did not want anyone to be alone if they did not want to be after something like that.

[tsugomori]

It's a nice thought worthy of expression of appreciation.

[ He'll take a moment to look off, to glance upon the rest of the people in the library. ]

It's not a bad thing to be kind, right?
