How could this happen? (afterparty)

[folkscallmewander]

[Wander has reeled back from this execution faster than Mulan's. This murder wasn't an accident, but it was still terrible all around, and it wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances. Knowing that Tadashi planned this out made it...a bit better, but it still made something awful eat at his stomach.

Speaking of which, everyone needed to eat something light today. Right after the trial, he heads to the kitchen and prepares twenty bowls of fruit salad and mixes together ingredients for chocolate chip cookies. While they're cooling off, he slides a note under everyone's rooms.]



There's fruit in the lounge, cookies coming soon. We should stick together, especially after this.

[Shrug.]

You know what they saw about the grass being greener.

[chainbroke]

... Grass being greener?

[whistlenotchirp]

Oh, haven't heard that one? Uh....

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully, figuring how to phrase this.]

Other people's lives always look better, compared to our own. Other people's lawns always look nicer than ours.

So maybe they look like they're doing alright, but... they could be just as scared and uncomfortable as the rest of us. Does that make sense?

[chainbroke]

Oh, that does make sense.

[ She feels like she's been a little selfish now, which... probably wasn't Jiminy's intention, but. She should be more attentive, she thinks. The last time she'd worried so much about herself, she'd forgotten to be there for someone, and now Tadashi...

Best not to think about that when Jiminy's doing his best to help her out. ]

Do you think... mm, maybe we should have... a gathering, of sorts. For everyone to talk about their worries if our host gives us another...

[ She trails off. ]

[Jiminy made an entire job about making people feel guilty for their actions, so this honestly isn't a bad result in his book, despite his priority being reassurance right now.

He considers this point. If they're gonna operate in this place, there has to be a unified sense of morals. That's being... somewhat skewed given the horrific circumstances, but. Maintaining some sort of community bond does seem essential. Keeps people remembering who your trusty neighbors are.]

That could be just what this place needs. Keep people open, honest, and, most importantly, stable. Let 'em know they got people they can rely on.

[chainbroke]

I'm not sure how many people would attend, but... it's worth a try. Isn't it? That way... people don't have to think that they're alone.

[ There is not a single person here she dislikes. And Naminé doesn't want to see any more death, see anyone be sad anymore. ]

[whistlenotchirp]

That sounds splendid.

If there's one thing people aren't in this place, its alone. You just gotta remind 'em.
