And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you.
[This week, Varric opted to take a page from Vanille’s book. Gathering everyone together after the roller-coaster that the first trial had been proved to be somewhat cathartic for himself. He hoped that it would prove to do the same for the others.]
[He wasn’t alone, of course, having found himself blessed with the most ragtag team of chefs and party-planners. He might have had words for and thoughts on Elda and Kimbley, Mikazuki was welcome company, and he wasn’t about to turn away potential allies, even in a fight as simple as cooking dinner.]
[Once everyone’s set to a task, baking a cake, brewing tea, or stirring stew (the only task Varric could think to assign Elda to), Varric excused himself to his room. His first task was writing up cards, each personally titled and signed by Varric.]
Food in the Library. 5 p.m. Don’t spend the night alone.
[Each note was slid under a door and accompanied by a single rap on the wood.]
[With his tasks completed, Varric returned to the kitchen to put out any potential fires and, with luck, set the food out. A table in the library would be adorned with plenty of tea, cake, pancakes courtesy of Viktor, and stew thanks mostly to Varric (sorry, Elda).]

Of course, Hanyuu. [ If she's encouraging her, she really should actually practice what she preaches— ] I remembered that I'm dead.
[ It comes out rather quiet and rather stilted, the way things do when a person doesn't really want to talk about it but wants to say something anyway. ]
...That's what was bothering me earlier this week. [ When Hanyuu asked about her dream. ]

You're...oh. [Is she more surprised at the nature of it, or that she was actually confided in? Hanyuu isn't sure.] I'm... I'm so sorry. That doesn't fix anything, I know. I...know, but... This all must be so strange, and difficult, with that new knowledge in your mind.

[ It's a weird to say, yes, but. ]
Being here is more than a little weird though.

Were...were you a spirit? [Like her.]

Not exactly. [ ...She isn't really sure how to explain it. ] When people die, they go to... I guess you'd consider it limbo. They play a game that judges their character, and then they move on to wherever it is they're going to go. While they're there, they have [ definitely not real, apparently ] bodies, so they're not just souls floating around or anything.
no subject
[That sounds...a little uncomfortable, really.]

...Decim and I get along. He's the one I work with. [ Taking a liking to them? ] But arbiters are meant to judge; I don't think he'd let that get in the way of his job.

[ She's never met him and they never talk about him, so. ]
Don't worry too much about it, okay? [ ...she is aware her circumstances are a little distressing and that "not worrying" about it is probably going to be hard, but— ] I can handle it.
