WE ALL SEEK JUSTICE AND NOBODY IS OKAY

[tenrules]

[Another murder, another investigation, another trial, another execution. Unlike last time, it wasn't self-defense, and although they caught him, she's pretty sure nobody is happy. It was sentencing someone to death, after all.

Knowing that, Dlanor writes something on the back of profiles she took from the bulletin board, passing them under the doors. When in a hurry, use what you have, and those profiles will be back sooner or later, anyway]

Please come to the train station. Let's spend some time in each other's company, for our sake

[If you decide to come, you'll find whoever wrote that note has been working hard to make things somewhat nice. There's a few...whatever we all have been using as cups all this time...filled with milk -- evaporated milk with some water, it seems. Tastes almost like normal milk. Dlanor also brought a few twigs and a small piece of log from the sawmull, and seems to be currently trying to make a fire. Some warmth should be nice, right?

Come on, everyone, let's sit around this bunch of wood and strengthten our bonds]

[Cheryl pulls her legs up to her chest to hide her crying face, leaning into Twilight a little as she talks. This is so awful. It's all so awful.

...But at least she has a friend.]

Th-thank you Twilight....

[pegathesis]

[Twilight falls silent for a moment after that, giving Cheryl the opportunity to cry.]

Don't feel bad about the way you feel. It wouldn't be fair for any of us to accuse anyone else of feeling wrongly about any of this. All of it is wrong.

[whohastimefortears]

[She takes it, and lets out as much as she can. She knows Twilight doesn't care. Cheryl feels pretty tired after but finally sits up.]

Seriously... thank you Twilight. I'm... I'm glad you're here. Not in this situation .. just with me I guess.

[pegathesis]

It's nothing. I'd be a pretty crummy Princess of Friendship if I didn't try to do what friends do.

[She pats her back a little with her wingtip.]

I can't say I know what's going to happen next, but we're all still together. We'll get through it the same way- together.

[whohastimefortears]

For what it's worth, I think your a great friendship princess.

[Whatever the hell that is.]

I hope so anyway. This... this is too much. I can't handle this every week.

[pegathesis]

You and me both. I'm used to solving problems between friends, or keeping things in order as best I can...not...solving murder mysteries.

[She shakes her head.]

I really wish Celestia were here. Even if she couldn't stop any of this, she'd know what to do.

[whohastimefortears]

Celestia is like... your queen right?

[She can't remember the story super well right now.]

I'm sure she'd figure it out but... unfortunately she's not. So we'll just have to stick together for now.

[pegathesis]

Basically, yes. She's a lot wiser than me in a lot of ways...more experienced.

[She shrugs a little.]

But she wouldn't want me sitting here wishing for the impossible. That's why I've been trying to do what I can to help keep things together. That's the best I can do, really.

[whohastimefortears]

I know you are Twilight. I'll... I'll put in a little more effort too, okay? Don't feel like you have to shoulder this on your own either.

[pegathesis]

I appreciate it, Cheryl. But don't feel like you have to do more than you're able. We're all stuck here with each other...so we have to help keep each other supported in areas we aren't as equipped to handle. Like how you all helped me last week.

[whohastimefortears]

Okay... that I can do. Thanks Twilight.

[pegathesis]

You're welcome.

Is there anything else I can do for you now, or is just sitting with you good?

[She doesn't want to crowd or overwhelm her, after all.]

[whohastimefortears]

Sitting is good. Let's just sit for now.
