Yeah? At first the place I was at was like that, but as we went to other cities we found more and more stuff we could eat. I think Yukio was happy when I was finally able to make a real meal for us. Not that he said so, he was too grumpy to admit it.
Yeah, that happened with us too. But we always knew when the trials would be, so I guess we coulda taken time to make food first. 'sides, I bet Hua Cheng and Kururu and Ochako woulda brought us food if we asked. But we just never asked.
[ she like... pauses at those names. she already knows there are copies of people in different games, she's met lup and alphinaud! she's overheard hc!!
Yeah. We didn't have much in common either, but it still felt like he was listening and understanding me.
I hope Dad doesn't mind that I prayed to a different god. He's a Catholic priest, but I don't think he's actually that religious, so I'm sure he'll understand.
I don't think we can really hold people to 'normal' standards in places like this. A lot of what happens is outside of everyone's control, yeah? I'd say most people who killed didn't really want to.
[HI CLEM you have a visitor! Well, two visitors, because Rin brought Rinkou with him. But he'll set her down at the door so he can walk in and see how Clem is doing.
He also brought some finger foods from the restaraunt, stuff like water and bread and cheese. Just in case she was hungry.]
[He pauses there for a moment, and he shifts uncomfortably. He's unsure if he should say anything, but after a moment he swallows and just goes for it.]
Week 0, Saturday
Hey. Feeling hungry?
[Rin's first instinct: feed people.]
no subject
Pretty much always.
I was too distracted by that whole train wreck to eat all day.
no subject
[If the restaurant has nothing tasty then he will make something tasty.]
It was the same where I was before too. By the end of the trials, everyone was starving.
no subject
... But we didn't have food sitting around to forget about in the first place.

[ when u come from a world with massive food shortages.......... ]
But during trials we were just stuck in a room without anything to eat.
no subject
Yeah, that happened with us too. But we always knew when the trials would be, so I guess we coulda taken time to make food first. 'sides, I bet Hua Cheng and Kururu and Ochako woulda brought us food if we asked. But we just never asked.

still... ]
Ochako, huh?
no subject
[He's smiling a bit more as he talks about her too. This nerd has a crush.]
She always kept an eye out for all of us, and she was the one to remind us to stay healthy.
no subject
That sounds right. She was in the Realm, too - she was really brave.
no subject
[His eyes light up.]
She's definitely brave, yeah, she was like that with us too. And kind! But she got flustered so easily too.
Man, I wonder if there's anyone else we both know too. Did you have Yukio there?

[Rin snickers.]
You know, I ended up actually praying to him once. Kinda funny, isn't it?
no subject
... Praying, huh? I guess he is some kind of God, right?
no subject
I hope Dad doesn't mind that I prayed to a different god. He's a Catholic priest, but I don't think he's actually that religious, so I'm sure he'll understand.
no subject
I'm sure it's... Fine? I met a priest in the Realm and he seemed pretty laid back about stuff.

But, you know. That just happens sometimes.

week 1: friday
It's stupid.
no subject
[Rin looks quite distraught right now too. He's not crying or anything, but he has a lot on his mind.]
But I dunno if hoping for better is stupid, even if we keep getting knocked back down.
no subject
no subject
[Rin isn't book smart and he knows it.]
But not giving up's important, yeah.
...were you close to him?
no subject
But I'd been trying to get to know him, here.
no subject
And then he...that really sucks.
no subject
[ but it uh. still sucks every time, actually. ]

But Rin offers Clementine a little smile as he walks over to her and brings her the plate and glass.]
Here. If you want something different I can go get it for you though, I wasn't sure what to get.
no subject
clem takes the offering! ]
No, I'm not picky. This is great, thank you.
no subject
Just wanted to help. I remember when it happened to me that having something to eat was pretty nice, even if it was just a snack.
[He'll come sit down near Clem too. Time for talking!]
no subject
It's always nice to have something to eat.
no subject
[He pauses there for a moment, and he shifts uncomfortably. He's unsure if he should say anything, but after a moment he swallows and just goes for it.]
So...did Cloud come talk to you?
no subject
no subject
[Rin won't pry into what was said, because that's private. But he's glad they at least talked.]
Do you, uh...the shadows, can you tell if they're still there?
