Oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give - but some things only God can forgive

[georgeous]

[ It's quiet in the hospital after this trial. Time passes and there are no notes slipped under doors.

The eerie silence reflects the horrors that have been witnessed today. More than any other week, there is a lingering understanding that there are thing regrouping and cooperation will never be able to fix.

There are 7 dead to mourn. No amount of funeral will bring them back.

The rules George has posted to the kitchen at the start of the week have been kicked over. ]

((ooc: This is not a week for any amount of partying, no matter how little, so here is the after-moping. Tell us where your character mopes, group together to mope together, etc...))

I do. The bonds between us may be accidental, but that doesn't mean we can't strength them.

[journalname]

Perhaps so. It was much easier, with a united people...

[cadmiums]

The hand fate deals is often cruel.

[journalname]

True. And sometimes, we deal it ourselves.

[cadmiums]

...you sound like you're too familiar with it, Asgore.

[journalname]

Maybe so. I have not always made the best decisions as king.

[cadmiums]

From what I know of you, I believe that you would try your best.

[journalname]

...I suppose I have done that.

[He sounds doubtful about it.]

[cadmiums]

You don't think so?

[journalname]

...at times, what is best for the kingdom may not be...what is right. It is a matter of the needs of the many against the needs of the few, some might say. But I do not think it should have ever come down to that.

[cadmiums]

Ah...what will you do about it when you return home?

[journalname]

I do not know. It seems too late now to turn back. But I have seen the one I must destroy to free my people, and they are only a child.

[cadmiums]

...I'm sorry. That seems like an impossible choice.

[journalname]

It is no choice at all. It is my responsibility to put my people before all else. Though...I wish more than anything that this were not the price.

[cadmiums]

Sometimes I feel that way about being here and being forced to play by the Risen's rules too. But I'd like to think there's a way to create our own choice, as impossible at it seems.

Maybe there's some hope in your situation, too.

I think there is some hope for my kingdom, at least, now that I am not in it. My wife may return to lead when she hears that I am gone, and I know that she would never do something so cruel. It will hurt the people...but I hope that they will come to understand. That is the best I could have asked for.
