[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]

EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.

[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

[acherontiastyx]

...I mean, it's like I said back there.

[he shrugs a bit.]

I mean, that guy brutally murders people for sleeping in the wrong place, right? I really wasn't sure if he was gonna straight up murder you for not voting, and... well. Enough people have been dying this week.

[elepe]

[...huh. That...does kind of cause her to twitch a little bit, but her expression is...kind of blank.]

He probably would have, yes.

[She's. Uh. This is awkward.]

That's all it was, then?

[acherontiastyx]

...well, yeah. I mean. It'd be... kind of a big deal if that happened? So I didn't want it to.

I mean, I wasn't trying to stick it to you or anything. I was just... worried.

[elepe]

[...that takes a bit to get a response. Your boss still has all of the emotional whatnot of a rock, man.

She just turns away there.]

...I guess you saved me, then.

[There. Probably should be a thanks in there somewhere.]

[acherontiastyx]

...Yeah. I mean, I guess.

[............................................................]

You... want anything.

[elepe]

[............................................................]

I haven't eaten, nor drank anything all day. I...suppose if you can still make hot chocolate, I wouldn't mind some.

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, alright. I made a pretty big batch already, so it won't take long. You still gonna be in here, then?

[elepe]

After what happened, I don't plan on going anywhere else. Don't you worry.

[It's a bit bluntly stated, but...]

[acherontiastyx]

Right. I'll be back soon, then.

[EXIT, Guzma.]

[elepe]

...Thank you, Guzma.

[In any case, she...kinda flops back on her bed, gracelessly. The door stays open so he won't have to knock again, but ugh.]

[acherontiastyx]

[alright. he makes some damn good hot cocoa. and he brings some water too because that stuff makes you thirsty...]

Hey. Yo. I got the goods.

[elepe]

[Guzma you are a literal lifesaver right now, bless you.

She'll wave him over from where she's flopped and just...take the cocoa and gesture to the desk while she moves herself up.]

...Thank you, Guzma. I...really do appreciate it.

[acherontiastyx]

Hey, don't worry about it. Just. Making sure everything goes... not completely terrible.

[elepe]

...Well, it's a little less. Thank you for that.

[...It's actually kind of nice.]/small>

I still can hardly believe it...

[acherontiastyx]

...Yeah, same. I guess... I don't really know what I'd do if things back home were that bad. So.

[elepe]

...They would never get this bad. I would crush such an organized attempt before anything happened. Crush it before something like this would happen. No, it would not even be allowed to form before I crushed it under my heel--!

[--ah, shit, she was. Shaking pretty badly when she said that, oops. Thankfully none of the cocoa got onto the bed, but she. Needs to calm down.]

[acherontiastyx]

...yeah. Yeah, that... would probably happen. Ayep.

[...should he back away slowly or....]
