[sometime while lux is on the campus grounds near the cafeteria, rita'll walk out, spot her, and after some deliberation... walk over. it's weird that they haven't talked since the trial, right? like, maybe.
It was... Unfortunate timing, for me. I had a bad week, and it took away the only thing I had been looking forward to that I'd felt would make it better.
[ she says this as neutrally as she can, because she isn't interested in guilt-tripping rita, only explaining. ]
So I was frustrated by it. But I don't blame you. I can't blame anyone who is doing their best to keep people safe, using the information they have.
[ lux would rather have nothing to look forward to than to have it taken away. ]
We always have been. This has been my assertion from the beginning.
This place may force us to distrust and vote for one another on the weekends, but I don't want to believe that we're so weak that we'll hold onto that distrust.

how about an icebreaker!]
Dean's List, huh. Congratulations.
[she doesn't sound very sincere.]
no subject
Why, thank you. I've been working so hard in all my very important classes.

[she folds her arms...]
I'm still not sorry for what I did, but... I get it now. I don't plan on antagonizing you or Otome any more. For the record.

... Hmph.
So... whatever. I guess we're all on the same side now.
[she's stating it as a fact, but she's still kind of grappling with fully believing it.]

But it is what it is.

[is she???]
You need any tasks or extra credit or whatever? While I'm here.
[it's... an olive branch?]
no subject
But a task wouldn't be bad.
no subject
Can you tell me what the assignment was? I've been trying to look into these in detail.
no subject
no subject
Doesn't sound like it needs to be a big cut.
no subject
no subject
I don't just mean vouchers or whatever. I think it's important to do as many of these as possible. And besides... it could help me confirm something.
no subject
I don't want to do anything to hurt someone without even explaining why.
no subject
Hmph. I guess, but...
Maybe there's a workaround, using the literal meaning of the words and ignoring the "normal" implication? Like, what if you cut somebody's hair?
no subject
no subject
[shrug!] If you try it, let me know if it worked.
no subject
I don't want to ruin anyone's hair either.
no subject
--I mean, maybe you'll run into someone going for that makeover task, and it'll be super easy.
