... In this hypothetical situation, we would have two options.

The first, to know all the details. To know what rules people must follow and why, and judge their actions on necessity.

Or the second. Without information - to trust one another to make the best decision available to them.

It's the trusting thing that I think is going to be trouble for some people here.

[...] I had been hoping we'd find the person responsible yesterday so we could ask them more questions. But now we can't even do that.

Well. Perhaps next week.

[ because there will be a next week. ]

Perhaps so.

[there's another pause, and then...]

...we shouldn't let the week go to waste just waiting for that though. We'll have new classes and stuff, but there still has to be something we can do to help people out and keep everybody calm for a while.

Did you have any ideas?

I have been doing my best to keep people from panicking, but there are only so many deaths they can watch before my words will ring hollow.

Playing baseball seems pretty tasteless after last week. But summer dorm had a movie night last week. Really lowkey and easy and a good excuse to relax for a few hours and take our minds off of everything.

Right... I know that poor Caiman was quite desperate to play, but... Perhaps we'll give it more time.

Movies don't sound like a bad idea, though I don't think I can organize such things, unfamiliar as I am with the options. Still. I will keep it in mind.

I mean it doesn't have to be exactly that. Luke said that even with sports and stuff shutting down when it gets colder there's a lot to do around campus.

[...and, he figures he might as well tell her.] I don't mind organizing stuff for the dorm. I can't promise I'll be good at it, but I can try.

Perhaps he will move on to a new fixation, then.

[ she hums at that. ]

We aren't a difficult bunch to bring together, at least.

Even with those superlatives people showed up out of curiosity. If we offer something with free food and give them something to do instead of being stuck thinking about how miserable things are, that should be good enough.
