Funeral Service for Adaman and Hodaka Morishima

[giddyundertaker]

[ An hour or two after the first trial's end, Hild and the Undertaker set out to invite as many people as possible to the Restaurant for the funerals of our dearly departed friends.

Why the restaurant of all places? Because there aren't enough chairs and tables elsewhere.

Indeed, some of the tables have been moved against the wall to make room for the seats. The chairs have been set up in four rows of six, like an improvised theater or a church. To the side, a small buffet has been set up courtesy of Obi, Mafuyu, and Hild. As for the main event? Two tables have been set up and decorated in black fabric and white flowers. In lieu of a live viewing, two drawings referenced from the profiles have been set up in the center of funeral wreaths... They're not the best, due to the artist's handicaps, but it does look like Adaman and Hodaka at least.]

[Most people would probably want to read their letters in the privacy of their own room, but that involves patience, impulse control, and decorum- and Misfire's fingers are already ripping open the paper.]

...Geez. [The word comes out in a heavy exhale.] Can't believe he prepared for this.

[He accounted for the possibility instead of just insisting it wasn't there. There's something in that for leadership material. His sister really did teach him well.

Misfire would quickly pocket the letter, except he doesn't have those. It ends up clutched in his hand.]

You get one too?

[onemillion]

[Oh no, Misfire...]

I... Yes. He left one for quite a few people. I think he wanted to encourage us in his own way, especially if...

[If he didn't come back. Rossiu shakes his head.]

[dullshooter]

[The implication is picked up.]

Didn't stop thinking about everyone 'til the very end, did he? [He smiles. He half thinks its foolish, half thinks its admirable.] Wish I could've told him something about the virtues of selfishness before he popped off.

[onemillion]

I'm not sure it would have changed things, but... I do wish he was still here.

[That both of them were, of course.]

[dullshooter]

Get ready to say that a lot from here on out.

[They're words that could be delivered with deadpan snark, but it's just said with a tired resignation.]

[onemillion]

...As much as I wish to argue that... I would be surprised if we didn't lose anyone else.

[After all, Fontaine's horrid motive worked, so he's certainly not going to stop "motivating" us...]

[dullshooter]

There's a lot of ways to make someone want to kill. And I'm pretty sure he said something about 'sparing no expense'. This is only gonna be the start of it.

[Better invest in some mourning clothes.]

[onemillion]

Considering this was his first thought... Yes. I'm aware that we will be faced with equally horrid things in the future.

[Yeah. This is gonna suck.]
