What are your pros and cons in believing that the fifty will be in your favor?

[evocationary]

theyre relying on me
they dont know they are but if i cant save her what good is this

[that's not a pros and cons list, lup.]

[guestservices]

The list, Lup.
Find something to focus on.
Concentrate on a direction.

[evocationary]

[another long silence.]

if i think its in my favor i get to sleep tonight
con is ill be fucked up tomorrow if it doesnt work

[guestservices]

...might I make a suggestion?
Perhaps you ought to reach out to Lepus to discuss this as well.
They're your manager or what-have-you, are they not?
I imagine they would be able to provide clarity...and go over additional details of your job's function.

[evocationary]

i

[guestservices]

Why not?
It may help.
There was a lot that happened recently.
But right. The task.

You have a week, as usual.

Bar is fine.
I'll be there shortly.

[and true to their word, there's a swirl of shadows in the corner before gemini steps out and approaches her.]

[evocationary]

[she is definitely drinking, now. she's sitting at the piano with something supremely alcoholic, and when she sees them, she holds out her hand to them. come here please.]

[guestservices]

[they cross the room not-quite running, but it's quick and they settle next to her.]

...do you want to stay here?

[evocationary]

I don't know where else to go.

[at least here there's some music that she can try and lose herself in. she takes their hand.]

[guestservices]

There are plenty of places around the hotel and the Station both. But if you'd like to stay, then we will. [she can also have their hand. they will just hold it a little tightly.]

[evocationary]

... I don't know if it's a good idea for me to be in the Station tonight.

[she says, after a moment, but.]

I really want to play music. Is what I want.

[guestservices]

[they tilt their head.]

...have you gotten any better with the piano? Or is it still violin?

[evocationary]

I've gotten a little better, sure.

[... she puts her drink down, and just. plays this.]

[guestservices]

[they sit and they listen. as lup plays, they seem to settle in and listen patiently.]

...it's lovely, Lup. You've gotten much better.

[evocationary]

I just practice whenever I have nothing else to do.

[she's always been good at music.] ... Thanks.

[and she picks up her drink and downs the rest of it.

this might be why she is not freaking out like she was earlier.]

[guestservices]

There are far worse ways to spend your time. [...and there she goes, downing her drink. they say nothing about it though.] Even if it's a bit of happiness, it counts.

[evocationary]

You have to uh, take what you can get, here.

[...]

You know, if I was going to kill someone, it'd be Diluc, I think.

[guestservices]

[hm.]

Oh yeah? What brought you to that conclusion?

[evocationary]

He got away with what he did. [maybe it was the shadows. but so was sheila.

and, well.] I thought about Rin, too.

[... she pulls herself up to stand so she can go get more alcohol.]

[guestservices]

...yeah? [they let her go.]

...so how much thought are you going to keep putting into it?
