(open) break yourself inside out
who: Whoever wants to show up.
what: Nine body pileup, who wants to compile info.
when: 10/7, at least
where: Dorms study hall
warnings: Attempted murder over children's games
[in the afternoon, a message shows up on the forums. is she copying Natsume? utterly, since his organization is why she's thinking about this.]

Please try to set aside an hour or so of your time this evening at around 7:30 pm to return to the study hall. I'd like to speak with as many people as possible regarding the recent incident in the school.
-H.A.
[and she won't be replying to anything posted below it.
by the time the hour rolls around, Helena's set herself up in the study hall with the rolling whiteboard she took from the school set up. the markers are a toss up between colors, but the important part is there. she's seated herself by it, and when 7:30 hits, an alarm on her PDA goes off. silencing it, she stands up.]
Thank you for coming. I realize it's another demand on people's time, but given the vast scope of the murders, there's more to be said than unsaid. With it, we had no choice but to split up and find what we could, to do our best at the least to remember and categorize what we saw. Generally speaking, I'd like if we could pool our resources to see if we might draw any parallels between what was where, and if there are any peculiarities to distinguish this or that event.
With that said - [she points behind her at the whiteboard, where Rantarou has been kind enough to write out a list] - if we could try to speak individually, we could write down anything critical shared, so we could look at it from a larger perspective. As well, if something comes up in other days, we could reconvene and add in new information.
As I am unable to do it for you, please allow my dependable transcriber to do so. And a final note before we begin - if anyone becomes overly agitated, I request that you kindly step outside until you can keep your voice to a moderate level. Sound echoes well enough without yelling added to the mix.
Let's begin.

[It feels like they're talking past each other, like cogs that have slipped out of alignment. How is it this is easier with people who are cruel than people who are kind? How is it they're both trying so hard, and getting nowhere?
He takes a sip of his own cocoa. It's a little too sweet.]
I'm not... that fragile, Helena.
[No, he's not, shut up, stop grinning.]
It's not like I'll break if I listen to you as well, ahaha. Pfft. 'Taking control?' I'm the one who mentioned it...
[It suddenly just seems incredibly funny, all of this.]
Like and trust, that's how you measure it, huh. [It still seems strange to him but... maybe he's starting to get it a little. Possibly. He has no idea. But it makes sense as a barometer equally as well as a goal.] ...we've got the time at least.
[All the time in the world, being dead. It's kind of strange to think, really. He's never going to age past this... he's going to be like this forever unless he graduates and reincarnates or something. He's still not sure what he thinks about that.]

[her hands around her cup, she makes herself take another gulp, swallowing hard. it feels like it's all piling in, all the emotions she's been running through, and if she says anything more, she feels like she might accidentally cry. it's been a long day, between stress and fear and pain, guilt and regret and sorrow, uncertainty and the cracks that form, and if she swallows the drink, maybe she'll swallow the rest down.
tired, that's what she is. tired physically, tired emotionally. it's not even close to her bedtime, and she's afraid to go to sleep too early on her own because she doesn't want to wake too soon.]
no subject
He's done enough.]
