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.]

[Kun, San, Chan, Sama, Sensei...Varian blinks hard, running a hand down the side of his face.]
That sure is a lot more than just Mister....how do you remember it all?
no subject
I suppose it helps that I was raised with it. I imagine it would be like trying to name all of the cities in your Kingdom. Impossible for me, but easy for you.

[Varian sighs, looking back down at the piano.]
By the way, um. ...thanks. It's nice to have somebody to talk to, right now.

[She allows her fingers to follow the melody for a few moments more, before her hands finally still.]
In the end, I suppose it's selfish of me. But the more I work to check on others, the less time I have to think. To dwell.
no subject
[He lets his hands still as well, putting them into his lap.]
I wish I was more like that. That it was easier for me to take iniative and...check up on people. I care, but it's hard to...figure out the best way to show it, sometimes.

...thank you, Maya. That means a lot.
[Like. WAY more than she actually realizes.]
The feeling is definitely mutual, you know.
no subject
I will... Do my best not to disappoint you, then.
