[Immediately following the strange insanity that took place in the aftermath of that trial, Towa decides that enough is enough-- she has to attempt to do what she can do. For too long she's let herself be daunted by her own abilities or lack thereof... but she can't do that anymore. If she can support everyone, even in any small way, then she's going to do that now.

Before they're dismissed she calls out to the group--]

I'm going to prepare the lounge for a proper meeting. It'll take me a little bit to get everything set up but please... I want everyone to come. We have a lot to talk about and I don't want anyone shouldering this burden alone.

[And as soon as that's done, she gets to work. Coffee, tea, soup, cookies... she prepares a small, but fairly simple collection of foods as quickly as she can and works to make the space as comfortable as possible. It feels like a lifetime ago she did this the first time. A lot has changed but some things really haven't. If anyone would like to help, she certainly wouldn't turn away the help.]

Latin. Presumably they use it because it is, outside of academics, functionally dead. It's descendants are doing well for themselves, but I have yet to see a world where Latin is not all but buried.

Someone mentioned that language before. It sounds a bit like Celestial to me, but it doesn't exist in my world.

[technicolourdifficulties]

That's not surprising, all things considered.

[That sure is a vague response there, Jeebs.]

[katzenpfote]

What do you mean by that?
