Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind
Please join us in the greenhouse should you feel able or need company. There will be food and comfort. None of us should be alone right now.
-Hanyuu, Jasper, and Silver
[That's the note that gets slid under everyone's doors after such a somber and saddening trial; it's not like it's going to be a big ordeal anymore given how few of them there are, but that doesn't mean that they should spend it alone.
The location of their setup is the greenhouse! ...The greenhouse has had a new addition; there is a massive blanket fort set up using an absurd amount of rope, blankets, and duct tape. The blankets span across three trees to make a considerable amount of space roughly shaped like a triangle for them to hang out under. Under the fort is a small pile of scissors taken from the sewing and art rooms. Next to them are a couple of flower crowns. They're relatively simple and don't involve many different flowers, but they're good examples of what the pile of scissors are there for.
There's also food, of course; a blanket is laid out on the floor with a large set of plates, a massive amount of eggs and rice, some of Elda's spicy fries, and... Sandwiches. Jasper's made everyone sandwiches, and the sandwiches are absolutely absurd in size due to how many cold cuts she's stacked into them. But don't worry! They aren't all meat. There's a lot of mustard, too. Luckily, they're still of a reasonably edible size.]

I don't know. I mean, I feel like most people just deal with it, but... it never seemed good enough.

I kinda wonder if getting up to gold would've ended up any better.
no subject
[ But... ]
But I'm not sure how much that can change about you as a person.
no subject
Yeah. I mean. It would've been nice if bronze or silver or whatever was just good enough, but it never was.
...
When I actually won that silver, you know the part that was actually screwed up? I thought the kid who got bronze was gonna get yelled at, but nah. His parents were ecstatic he placed. Meanwhile, I finally move up in the world and it was the same crap.
You woulda won if you used a different type. Your Pokemon suck. Why do you keep putting time in this when you could get interested in... I'unno, math or something and prepare for a real job when you're a real adult? If you're not the champ, what's even the point?
Guzma, what is wrong with you? Just give up now before you hurt yourself.
[...oh. he just... started ranting there.]
Wow. Uh. Sorry.
no subject
... But no man is always a clown.
No man is born a clown.
Her eyes narrow as he speaks, and then her eyes shift, adopting the predatory mode as she connects some things within that rambling. ]
Do not apologize to me.
[ She reaches out, and she places a hand over his chest. ]
You did not fail, those people failed you.

[...he's silent for a while, as if processing that.]
I did kick his ass, at least.
no subject
I hope that felt good.

[ . . . . ]
But does that alleviate a desire to prove something?
no subject
I guess... not really. I mean, it's great when you're at the top of the heap, but the second you get into a bigger pond you're back at the bottom of the food chain.
And that sucks.
no subject
Her... small heap. Of the Vampires of Japan.
But back in Europe... ]
... Ever will there be forces that can act upon us, overpower us. I think the more relevant thing is to...
[ She hums a little, looking around at who survives ] I am called Indomitable. You are called Rebellious - and Silver Persevering. The bean sprout's Independent. I think all of those are virtues that a person might well benefit from, depending on the time.
no subject
Yeah. I... I get you. I'll... I can probably get it together eventually. It's just not good tonight.
no subject
[ Elda, for her part, is furious. Terrified? A lot of things all at once, and she exhales out before taking her hands back to herself. ]
Shall I leave you be?
