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 ]

No, nothing like that. I know Peridot had machines, but that's not the same thing.

I can't control them, anyway.

[She actually smiles at that.]

I wish! I think it would make Gem society a better place.

Yes, actually.

A Ruby is a footsoldier. They are small, not large like a Quartz, but there are usually a number of them assigned to a task, and they can fuse into Ruby much bigger than myself.

Sapphires are rarer, and they are seers.

Something like that. Sapphires can see multiple outcomes at once; when asked, they can provide several different possibilities. That doesn't make them wrong, though.

Yes.

In practice, Sapphires don't usually say which of their outcomes is most likely unless asked, because it can be difficult for them to tell.

From what I can understand, even the slightest of factors can change something.
