Who: Jasmine and Friends
When: Day 49, Afternoon
Where: Jasmine Car

[So, regardless of where her teammates are, 80H is going to return to Jasmine to cook.

She's skipping out on any red meats. Only fish and seafood.

Her face, neck, and chest are bandaged. If she's bothered, she does not seem that way. She just...continues to work efficiently and the kitchen smells heavenly.

Everything is fine, it's just another day in Jasmine.]

Mm-mm. What about the others?

Likely less so.

[ BECAUSE THEY HAVE FEELINGS UNLIKE YOU ]

All right. Is there anything I can do to help you out? If you're cooking, or, huh ... anything, I guess ...

[RUDE

true but rude]

There are some vegetables that still need chopping and seafood that needs to be sauteed.

I'll help. And no more library for me for the next week or so - stop me if I try to go inside.

You enjoy the library, why should I stop you?

Because I don't want to miss my teammates getting brutally murdered.

[ a pause, and then ]

Wait, that came out wrong. It's not like I want to see it either ...

Again, it did not happen because you were in the library, it was not that sort of trial where we were able to move about the train. It was likely a suspect one, not at all sanctioned by the Prince or his cohorts. Count yourself fortunate, it is not as though the team would see you suffer.

I should have been there.

To die with the rest of us?

To prevent it.

There is no use worrying about it now. What is done is done.

[ you can't say to a man whose favourite sport is finding things to feel responsible for ]

Maybe, but it doesn't change the fact I wasn't there for you. I didn't even notice we have a new guy.

That was not your fault. At least assign blame where and when it is reasonable to do so. As for not noticing, you do know now.

[eh, really.]

Apologise to him if you believe it will improve the situation.

[ he's not going to feel any less responsible, but he can tell they'll go in cycles if he continues ]

Mm-mm. I'll do that.

Let's chop some vegetables.

Please wash your hands, first.

[She will prepare some for him to chop in the meantime, setting up a bowl, knife, and cutting board.]

Yeah, yeah, I know basic hygiene.

[ time to wash his hand and then get to CHOPPING ]

I'm glad you're back alive. Don't think I could have afforded a revival pod.

[if she were the type to laugh, she would.

because lol, being alive. ha. hahahaha.]

That is fine, I would not have asked. I have plenty of sparks.

That you can't use because you're dead in this scenario.

We all revived for free. It was varying degrees of fine.

Fine, fine. I will stop playing each and every possible bad scenario in my head over and over again.

Until I'm done chopping vegetables.

[slow exhale

she doesn't even need to breathe]

We are all healed now, it is mostly fine. So yes, please do consider ceasing that.

Getting healed doesn't change the fact everyone got hurt to begin with. I know you don't understand it because you are determined to have no feelings, but guess what? It matters.

It does not change the fact, but all anyone can do is look to improve and move forward.
