After(life) Party--

[soylentprotag]

[Lenka isn't talking much, though he spends most of the time after the execution either expressionless or frowning, moving among the ones still left at the campfire to check on people and try to make sure none of them are trying to either follow Boa or possibly throw literal or metaphorical stones at each other. Probably everyone's too exhausted for any of that at this point.

At some point he disappears for a little bit and comes back with an entire table and supplies -- not from the kitchen, but from the stash he'd accumulated in Cabin 2. It's not much, but it feels better than eating anything from the kitchen right now. Nobody wants that.

There's just some crackers and fruit snacks and some cheese with them. A few baggies to take them to go since most people aren't hungry right this moment. Once that's set out, he'll idle at one end of the table, staring out into the lake.]

[It's not hard to find him- he's not hiding exactly. So when Gonta actually calls out to him he stops]

Oh... hey.

[He starts fiddling his forelock, looking a little awkward]

[yunolikebugs]

[Oh, good. This isn't gonna end badly.]

Gonta got worried about Ren. Ren keep getting into big messes, but Gonta wanna make sure Ren doing okay.

[le_mat]

Heh... I kinda do, huh? I'm... not okay. But I'm better than yesterday?

...thanks.

[yunolikebugs]

No problem...

[He smiles at that.]

Oh! And about note... Gonta not get Shinigami thing. Not know how to get souls outta rock spirit's mouth.

[Using the analogy from the lake cats here.]

Still kinda scary that people can use souls in first place.

[le_mat]

I don't really fully get it either. Ichigo could probably explain if you asked him. Though... yeah, even thinking about it at all is really scary. We're dealing with high class evil here.

DRV3 Spoilers

[yunolikebugs]

That sound right... Last time Gonta heard stuff about souls and bringing people back was in Ultimate Academy. Monokubs said they bring back dead person as "transfer student" if someone killed.

... Now that Gonta think of it, that motive probably really bad idea.

[le_mat]

Trading someone for someone else. It'd be really tempting... With all the places we come from who knows what's possible now.

[yunolikebugs]

Mmn... Not possible where Gonta from. Gonta pretty sure.

[le_mat]

Same for me... at least as far as I know. But I trust Ichigo- if something like that exists, I'll put my faith in it.

... plus, we could all use a little hope right now.

[yunolikebugs]

[Gonta's not sure if he can put that much trust in the guy... But at least Ren seems okay. Right now.]

Right...

... Still gotta be way out, even if bringing dead back unpossible... Right?

[le_mat]

[Ichigo could probably say that Jesus Christ was going to come down and shoot Sol with space lasers and Ren would accept it, at this point]

Right. That's top priority right now.

Hey Gonta... are you doing okay? I know yesterday had to be rough on you too. On everyone.

[yunolikebugs]

[Thanks for not saying that out loud, Gonta would get really confused.]

No... Gonta getting really tired of murder and trials. Not wanna hafta do them again if possible.

[After Leon died... Gonta's been the only one who has been through this sort of thing before. And it's hard. Too hard.]

[le_mat]

Me too...

[But if they don't they likely will die en mass, or Red will be punished again- but Ren decides against saying that.]

It's hard to process everything when we're always fighting or stressed or scared. It's exhausting.

[yunolikebugs]

[Look, Gonta realizes what happens if trials don't happen. Monokuma didn't let anyone sit out either.

The only difference here is there apparently is no ritual to feed a rock god and the only dead people in the trials were those creepy portraits with their faces crossed out.

Gonta nods at what Ren says.]

There gotta be way to end this...
