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.]

Tomorrow.

[Tomorrow isn't guaranteed, but for now...Varian will act as if it is.]

I guess for right now...the best we can do is be there for each other.

[ It's not, but the hope that they'll all still be there is all they have. Orpheus thinks for a moment, then stands up and nods to Varian. ]

I'm going to put this away. [ he says, gesturing with the bottle of wine. ] And then I'm going to check on some of the others. Are you going to be all right?

Mmhm...yeah. I'll be fine. I'm just going to, uh...hang out here for a while.

..thanks, Orpheus.

Of course. And thank you, too, Varian. I'll talk to you again soon, okay?
