IT'S MY PARTY! AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO, CRY IF I WANT TO

[fashionfever]

[One hour after the execution, prisoners who have gone back down to the dorm floor will find Angela waving outside the mess hall.]

In honor of what Akira definitely would have wanted and Vita probably at least would have laughed about, we're all having dinner together.

[There's pots of coffee, and glasses of soda, and something like garlic bread, and spaghetti, and it sounds like there's even more food cooking in the kitchen.]

This would be a great time to share anything you got from playing ET, too, you know? [She's just trying to start conversation about literally anything else...]

[backuphero]

We need to talk about that, then. Soon.

[He tilts his head towards a nearby camerabot, then.]

Maybe not with these guys watching so close, though.

[theserpentsmiles]

I don't think we can count on getting a break from them anytime soon...

[But he'll see what he can come up with. There may be ways around their watch.]

There has to be a purpose in them being mobile bots, instead of mounted cameras...

[backuphero]

They can follow us around. If one of us makes Red suspicious, she can chase whoever it is without having to leave her room.

[He pauses.]

I tried to fight one. Backed off when it started shooting lasers, but... they're a lot heavier than they look. I wrote down what I figured about them at... that last meeting.

[theserpentsmiles]

There is that... [...Right, the second meeting.] Do we still have that list? Sharing information is a good idea. There's still a lot we don't know about this place. The more we learn, the better a chance we'll have at getting out of here.

[Even if....what Akira said about universes being in danger, and Nagisa's too, if he's from the same timeline as Karma. Hell, if timelines and universes are involved, Nagisa may not even have anywhere left to return to anymore.]

[backuphero]

I think it's probably with his things... which... I shouldn't be the one to ask about that. But you're right, the more we know the more we can map out.

[theserpentsmiles]

This isn't over -- it's just getting started. I'm pretty good at reconnaissance, so I'll keep my eye out for anything and everything that might be amiss. This isn't much different from class....

[backuphero]

You know, the more you tell me about how you went to school, the more I'm glad all I had to put up with was nuns....

[And there's a genuinely joking, teasing grin with that. He might not be doing that well later tonight, but for now, he's got his feet back under him, for the first time in a couple of weeks.]

[theserpentsmiles]

[A quiet laugh...] Nuns probably wouldn't teach classes anything like this past year, it's true. My English classes alone might make them faint.
