and it takes, and it takes, and it takes

[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...]

[She won't keep it up for long, for your sake Jasper, it's okay.]

I know...some of the others will think otherwise, but...he didn't deserve this place. I...I'm only glad that you were able to meet him.

...Yes. So am I.

[For more reasons than she could possible express.]

I'm sure he would tell me not to waste my time being upset about him, but that's not an option for me.

[Ha.]

Generally, we...can't stop our feelings...no matter how much we want to. We can push them down, but shutting them off entirely is impossible. ...For most people, at least. [She speaks from experience.] He... He was a man who functioned differently than the rest, but...I don't believe he would fault you for mourning.

Maybe not.

[She shrugs.]

He was a soldier; I don't think he'd understand it. Like I wouldn't understand it if people were to mourn me.

Just because you're a solider doesn't mean you aren't a person.

No, but... casualty in war is just a fact.

[personal profile] oyashiromama 2017-02-28 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
That it is...but isn't it better to think of each warrior as a person as well? To...remember them, as they were? To care about the core?

Maybe.

But in the heat of battle it can make things more difficult.

Everyone does horrible things in war...is that right? Is that why...?
