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

[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.]

[ Orpheus will pull her into a full hug, at that, unable to restrain himself any further, and cling to her like a lifeline. ]

But I shouldn't have made you go looking for food and firewood alone, not when we knew storms were coming. I should've helped. I should've been there for you, not spending all my time writing songs.

[ Eurydice clings back, similarly desperate. ]

You couldn't have. The wind took everything we had. You were trying to fix the world.

I was trying but - I wasn't fast enough to stop winter from coming too soon again. And then you and Mister Hermes tried to tell me things were getting worse, but I didn't listen, because I thought I could still - fix things, in time.

[ He shakes his head again. ]

Eurydice, you're the world to me. What does it matter if I could save it, but not you?
