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. ]

It's our reality here, isn't it?

[She takes a deep breath, not wanting to deal with this at all, and yet... and yet she knows they have to.]

Do you think this will happen again? Someone will murder just to leave?

[spiritform]

This is the situation we've been put in, yes.

[Milla has had to think about this a number of times. She wants to say no, however--]

I cannot deny the possibility. However... I would like to avoid that if at all possible. I still want to see you all safely out of here.

[firstaid]

I do too. I just want everyone to get out of here safely. I wanted Adelina and Kyrie to as well!

[She never spoke with Kyrie, but that doesn't mean that she didn't care for her well-being either.]
