If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme...

[ Another week, another horrible sight to see. Another child dead.

Last week, Kim had spent the majority of her time crying in her room. This week, she- ...okay, she definitely cries, but she refuses to do so alone. An hour or so after the trial, notes are slipped under everyone's doors, written in her neat, curvy handwriting. ]

If you don't want to be alone right now, come to the dining room. We will have food. Don't shoulder this on your own.
- Kimberly, Lekmet, Marco, Rocket

[ There's an extra note on Beast's: ]

Please bring the mirror. I think everyone would benefit from talking to those we've lost again.

[ This is becoming painfully routine. Around the dining room, there are signs set up - courtesy of Rocket - that say NO DUCKS ALLOWED. In the dining room itself, there's a variety of foods set up. Various soups, vegetables, chicken nuggets- basically just things so people have something to eat, if they need it. Some simple sandwiches. Thank Lekmet. Marco's provided a rainbow cake. ...And also courtesy of Rocket, there's...booze.

Sorry, Mr. Arrow. ]

Allene, as someone who has literally given her life for a cause, how would it make you feel if...

[ A pause. ]

Let me do it, then.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[That jolts her enough to turn towards Jyn in horror, grip loosening.]

Wh- No! You're important!

[astronomics]

And so are you! How you're feeling right now, about me doing it? That's how I feel about you killing this kriffing duck.

[ Looks Allene dead in the eyes. ]

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to die, but you can't go too. He's not worth dying for.

[She looks back between Jyn and this fucking duck. She can fix it, she can see the solution and its right there! So many problems, gone! No more kids manipulated, no more stupid deaths, no more tools and items lost, no more lost chances of escape. Jyn and Doreen just don't know how to grab the opportunities like she can. How much better she can make the world! Just one little squeeze and every single problem in this place would be gone. No more of this stupid evil double, insulting the name of the original, destroying and corrupting everything good in front of her!

...ah. Well, that's not quite as logical as she thought, is it?]

...okay. [She lets go, leaning back into Jyn.] Okay.

[astronomics]

Okay.

[ Holds A Squirrel Close. ]

It's okay. I've got you.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[What did she do to deserve someone this good]

....What would I do without you?

[astronomics]

Doesn't matter right now. I'm here. And I'm going to stay here.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She just stays there, trying to catch her breath.]

...Right here on top of Negaduck, because...?

[Jokes are better than trauma and despair! Even if its got more of a forced joke full of sniffling.]

[astronomics]

[ Jyn almost-smiles and kisses her on the cheek. ]

Maybe we should both walk away from Negaduck right now. Let everyone else get a hit or two in.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Its only fair, really.

[the gays made out on negaduck's corpse.]

[astronomics]

[ it's fine this is fine ]

... You know, I know how this sounds, but... everyone was talking about a partner rooming system, earlier this week.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[let's just assume this is away from negaduck now]

Oh, that's probably a good idea!

[...she's very dumb]

[astronomics]

Well... I know I'd rather not be alone, and... there's no one I'd trust to room with more than you.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Oh.

[..................]

Oh!

I mean, yeah, sure, I'm super down with that. Like. Super duper down.

[astronomics]

Good. I... guess the only question left is your place or mine?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

I mean, do you mind having Mew Mew around?

[astronomics]

Not at all.
