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.]

Yeah, he said it was because they all had to fight in a war together. And ... this is kind of like a war, isn't it?

I'm ... trying to think of something, too.

[soylentprotag]

It is a little bit like a war.

[At least in the amount of blood and dirt on their hands and the way things hurt long after they're done, the darkness and the rain. It's an entirely different type of war from the one he's used to; he's open to ideas.]

Maybe if we show Sol who we are, the way we've showed each other. I think most of us trust at least a few other people, no matter what happens here.

[It's not really something that's easy to put into words, and it's not a completely concrete plan of action. But it's something. They have been showing Sol bits and parts of themselves all this time. But that's different from doing it intentionally.]

[trashmouthtozier]

Pictures are probably a good way, since it doesn't like us talking directly to it. Ren... kinda proved that already.

[soylentprotag]

I don't think that was about talking directly.

[He has a feeling that the minor feud between Ren and Sol was a lot more complicated than just Sol not wanting to hear them out. But that's not the important part, for the present moment. Right now, it's more...]

But starting with pictures is a good idea, for getting comfortable. Um... an ice breaker?

[He's never worked in a normal office or team, but he kind of gets the concept? It's a little like trying to tame a feral kitten, but one that you really can't feed any more. Hm.]

[trashmouthtozier]

I'll try it, then. ... And let you know how it goes.
