[237] 'Lost Someone Close to the Stabilizer' group mingle
[This group's to meet in the warm, coffee-scented air of Bean Crushers in sector four. Inside the shops doors there's a plethora of cushy chairs, couches and bean bags to sit on and a small stage typically used for poetry or comedy performances. Today it's re-purposed with signs encouraging individuals to use it as a platform to speak from, though smaller grouping of chairs are there for the less social to chat in smaller numbers. Through out the shop is the typical array of goodies; brownies, coffee, cookies and danishes as well as other pastries and small bowls of candy on available ledges. For those who need a little something to get through things, there's also a small selection of alcohol available on the premises.

Several signs and boards around the room list questions of discussion, as well as stacks of cards for inmates to use as topics. (A few examples: "Have you lost someone to the stabilizer recently? Do you miss them? How does it make you feel?" )

[OOC; Mingle! Feel free to use any of the mentioned questions or come up with your own topics of conversation, though remember that the food is spiked albeit delicious. I'll post a comment for Rebecca below, but will otherwise turn off notifs for this page.]

[So this girl's seated herself neatly in a bean bag chair, though she'll likely relocate around the room several times throughout the session.

Her backpack by her feet, she's got her laptop across her folded legs and is a bit reserved to start, by habit.

However judging by the coffee in her hand and the brownie she's got on the table before her, she'll loosen up rather quick.]

[ Bak plopped down in the bean bag chair next to her, waving a hand to cool down his flushed face. ]

It's a bit warm in here, isn't it?

[ it really isn't, but Bak never did have a good immunity to drugs of any sort. It's pretty much just going to straight to his head, much like that coffee if he isn't careful. Someone should really tell him to sit it down before he spills it on something. Like himself. ]

How's things?

[ Bak studiously avoided her gaze as he wiggled in the bean bag again, attempting to shift it into a more comfortable outline of his figure. ]

Things are, as usual, in their proper place.

[ he sipped at his coffee and then glanced at Rebecca ]

And are they likewise treating you well? [ things are well, things after all. ]

[This is a topic, Miranda actually doesn't mind discussing. She doesn't even need the tea in her hand to make her more relaxed about it. When she sees Rebecca she wonders if she should speak to her. They aren't close, but she likes her and it's always better to have someone there when you're missing friends.

She makes a move to sit on the lumpy cushion on the floor, only to slide off to the side from the uneven weight, almost dropping her plate of cookies.]


Ah!

[Now this is a group Miranda does not mind accidentally walking into. It's a little depressing, she thinks, but really having the chance to talk about friends she's lost is a good thing. So she decides to stay and enjoy the nice warm tea she had originally come to the coffee shop to get.]

Ah well...I guess in some way, most of us lost someone recently. We haven't been in Marina that long. [How strangely talkative and relaxed she feels.]

[ Bak turned from the counter and nearly froze. ]

Oh... Miranda... [ he pulled at his collar. ] You're here as well?

[ and nope, that's not coffee in his hands. Not at all...

/gently slides away ]

[She sees Bak and can't help but smile just a bit. It's a sad topic, but she knows they share some of that loss together and it makes it more bearable.]

Hello, Bak! Yes I...well I was really coming for something to drink, but there was a group and I decided to stay. What about you?

[ his gaze flicked to the banner decrying the group and then simply shrugged. ]

The same, mostly. I figure one group is as good as any to keep our wardens at bay.

[ he sipped and then grimaced lightly ] This needs sugar. [ and cream. Lots and lots of cream. ]

[Of all the groups that Michiru could have gotten put into, she's okay with this one. Everyone has lost someone to the stabilizer and so this seems to be least invasive of them. Maybe it was good that they remember others who were here. She smiles, seeing Miranda and goes over]

I think so too. Perhaps it is good to talk about those things, so we don't forget them.

[She also has a cup of tea in her hands]

[That is exactly what Miranda thinks.] Yes. When we talk about them, we can remember how much we cared about them. I know some of them will come back [not that all of them would remember, and that hurts in its own bittersweet way], but we shouldn't forget them just because they aren't with us right nwo.

[She nods with a smile] They obviously meant something to us that we are in this group to talk about them.

Who is the person that you lost?

[ considering the nature of the group, Bak is drinking coffee in honor of the friendship he had lost. ]

That stupid idiot upped and left without a single word of farewell. The least he could have done was stop by with all the others!

[ yes, he is referencing 4th wall day and no, his coffee isn't spiked with anything at all. Why are you asking? ]

[ he closed his jaw hard on another vitriolic word and then swallowed. Congrats Michiru. You got him to shut-up for a moment. ]

He wasn't that close.

[ but he can still grouse, because in truth, he wanted to believe it. But the lie is shown in how he suddenly clutched his coffee mug to his chest, practically cherishing it. Freudian slip? Not at all... ]

[Poor man! Lacus wouldn't leave someone in pain like this no matter what, but the clothing that distinctly marks him as Black Order has her even more eager to help.]

Sometimes it's all the more painful if you only have them for one day. [She smiles sympathetically.] Although I understand your point. It feels like something would be better than nothing at all.

[ he harrumphed because really, Komui probably just didn't want to deal with Bak's ire. ]

It hardly maters now. He's always been difficult.

[ and brilliant, but some things are best left unsaid. Shifting uncomfortably on his chair, Bak took a tiny peek at Lacus, afflicted with his usual unease in the face of a comely woman's presence! ]

Did you have someone visit? [ because what is small talk? ]

[Of all the group themes, this one makes the most sense to Lacus. It's also undeniably cruel to force them to discuss the people they've lost -- many of whom have a reasonable chance, if they ever return, of not remembering those they met here.]

If it would help you to go on all night, I'll listen. [She's not at all certain if it would help or not, though that's not really the point she's making.]
