Is This Where You Wanna Be? Crawling On Your Hands and Knees?

[mayavericks]

[In a perfect world, Maya would have been able to isolate herself for the rest of the evening. It's not like her to wallow in her feelings, but it's also not like her to be trapped away in a murder school or part of an execution so... not like she has much choice there. Besides, between the influence of Janis, and the sight of her remaining dormmates, it's clear that Maya simply can't... let things go.

It's like she told the SQUIP. They look to her for hope. And so, hope she must be. It's her job to stand tall for the others. Thankfully help comes easier this time -- there's no need to scruff Discord, or try to keep Spongebob from making Hate Patties. Maybe that, in and of itself, is a good sign.

It's just another fluke. They'll be okay. They're together, after all. Even Salieri and Discord are getting along well enough to help.

Cutting potatoes proves to be an interesting task, considering the fact that most of the knives are missing. Maya has a few guesses as to how that happened, but she won't point fingers again today. She makes do with what she has -- two swords between her and Cassandra.

Potatoes, cakes, pies -- the arrangement is much the same. There's even cocoa (made by less experienced hands, unfortunately), and alcohol. It all feels like a repeat of last week, but she's trying to not think about it. She does her best to keep a smile on her face as she knocks on each door, inviting others to the cafeteria once more.]

Yeah. I feel like it's...important to remember.

[They have to remember their number as a whole, how they started. None of them would have killed, accidentally or purposefully, if they weren't being kept here.]

It's kindof a scary thought, that you could be forgotten when you're not here anymore.

[BOY]

It...truly is. And equally scary, to think that we ourselves could forget.

[he huffs out a small sigh] ...any kind of memorial certainly does aid in remembering, though.

[alchemistake]

[LOOK HE'S...WORRIED...]

Yeah...

I guess it's just...nice to have something I can control. It's one of the few things I have control over.

[violentenvies]

...I can certainly understand that, considering our situation. Of all the ways of finding control here, this is certainly a good choice. Sometimes we have to express ourselves artistically in order to release something, after all.

[alchemistake]

Yeah...not that it's very good, is it?

[He laughs, faintly. It isn't meant to be good, but.]

[violentenvies]

I don't think it needs to be good to be important, quite honestly.

[alchemistake]

You think?

[Hm...]

I guess...as long as it's cathartic, huh...

[violentenvies]

Indeed. As long as it does for you what you need it to, that's what's most important.
