[Open Broadcast, 1st Evening of Week Four]

[fridgeninja]

Now that we've seen the threats this Liminal Space, I want to invite everyone to a meeting tomorrow morning in Beatrice-san's library. For anyone who isn't familiar with Tarot, I'd like to cover the basics about the Major Arcana, and then move on to what we know about the Arcana who brought us here, now that they're having conversations with us.

Snacks will be provided.

[shiroganeheir]

Yes. And one I am out of my depth on. For all that I seek the truth, I am beginning to wonder if this is too big for me. I don't usually deal in the big questions of justice, of what's Right and Wrong. I just find who was the asshole this time.

[She looks like she wants to sink into the floor.]

Maybe I need to just step back.

[fridgeninja]

Whichever way you're stepping... just remember that you're not stepping alone. You're part of a team. One that works together even when we don't see things the same way.

[shiroganeheir]

[She sighs a bit, nodding.]

I know. It's just the hardest thing to get through my head in spite of everything.

[fridgeninja]

I won't give up on it.

How long has it been since you ate or slept?

[shiroganeheir]

I know you won't. You don't give up on people or things you care about.

[She pauses, thinking.]

I... had an onigiri earlier, and I slept... a while ago?

[It's been too long since both of those things.]

[fridgeninja]

Would you like to come have dinner with me, then?

[ Framing it as a social occasion for the two of them - a date - should take some of the pressure off, he hopes, rather than making it feel like a chore. And afterward... well, if he has to seduce his girlfriend to wear her out enough to sleep, he's willing to take one for the team. His smile twitches, just a little.]

[shiroganeheir]

Sure.

[She smiles up at him.]

I will never turn down the opportunity to spend time with you.

[Even as frustrated and stressed as she is, he can always get her to stop for a few moments.]
