I still regret every word, that day, I never said

[ This trial was a mess. Hard on everyone, filled with conflicting emotions, and the twists and turns in it made it unsatisfying for everyone involved. That's probably become the norm at this point though! As have the gatherings in the aftermath of them. This time around the letter comes under everyone's door fairly quickly into the evening, following only a short delay for those organizing it to get things together and console themselves enough to be presentable. ]

Come to the dining room if you want to be with people. I will have board games, cards, food, and drink. We also will be writing letters to the dead, if you want to do that around others.

- Elda, Hanyuu, and Mikazuki


[ The dining room's set up is once again fairly simple. Hanyuu broad board games, Elda brought some rpg books though she doesn't expect anything to come of it, and there are a lot of envelopes, paper, and pens from the mail room. The mail room's going to close tonight, of course, but most of the letters will probably be written privately anyway. Elda just wanted people to be sure they knew they could.

Food wise, there's grilled meat and fish, rice, cream puffs (all Hanyuu!) Mikazuki's tea (both black and green!) and Elda's ... spicy fries. Some of them are more mild! However, the mild ones are covered in sugar so uh... that's probably not better. Either way, have at ]

Oh, does it need to have the same shapes on them?

[She means the suit... But she'll pick up her cards and put them back in her hand if that's the case, and discard one.]
firstaid: (Normal)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so that really adds strategy to this game.

[She seems frustrated at first, but then she nods. This is actually fun!]
firstaid: (calm; clastped hands; acceptance)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she sees when Elda puts her run down and nods. She'll draw a card... nothing yet again, and discard...

...she is focused on what she has now. Perhaps she should really start thinking up a strategy.]
firstaid: (Hopeful)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow...

[To connect them is so cool. She draws and places an ace of space on the 2.]

Like this?
firstaid: (there for you)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so the goal is to get rid of your hand.

[She nods as she discards a card.]
firstaid: (i'm thinking)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
How does scoring work? I presume you want a lower score based on what you are saying.
firstaid: (hmm?)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I see... I'll have to try to eliminate my hands by following the rules, then. [She has six cards left so that might be a challenge.]
firstaid: (there for you)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[All that matters is that Elda is winning.

Estelle draws a card and... oh! She'll put down an 8-9-10 run of clubs.]


Oh, here we go!

[And she discards a card.]
firstaid: (calm; clastped hands; acceptance)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[She draws a card, no, nothing she can play so she discards.

She's staring pretty intently at her cards and what's on the field. It seems the strategy gets tougher as time goes on...]
firstaid: (ponder; brood; book)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's... a question she's not so sure how to answer...

She draws a card and just stares at her hand.]


I... I don't know. I feel like I should be sad, but... I'm not.

[Phi and Vanille are dead and she rather liked them, but with Gangrel-- she has no hard feelings. She was upset with him with the trial last week, she tried to apologize and instead things seemed to get worse. Part of her thinks she should feel guilty, but she doesn't.

It's her lack of emotions in regard to this that bugs her.

That she was... fine with this trial. She's disgusted with herself, truthfully. And as she's thinking this, her brows furrow as if she's really thinking hard on this. A girl who usually wears her emotions on her sleeves and she can't figure them out. It's rather telling.]
firstaid: (defeated sigh)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Vindicated?

[She falls silent again, thinking on that. For a moment she looks at her cards, then looks away. Deciding it best she does something, she discards, and it's a card that could have gone on her run. A Queen of Clubs, but she doesn't think of it. Honestly, she doesn't know what the face cards represent anyway.]

...I... I suppose I do in a sense.

[She sighs.]

That likely makes me an awful person, but... I can't shake that feeling at all.
firstaid: (failed)

[personal profile] firstaid 2017-03-05 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Estelle doesn't really think anything of it. She stares at the Queen she picks up and realizes she could have played it, but instead, she is more focused on this conversation.]

I honestly really can't. I... last week was... awful.
