Week 2 - after trial

[relieable]

[everyone is probably more than a little stunned over what has been going on. while it is true that the Sergeant told them all this would happen, it's different to have to witness it with one's own eyes. while Nine is led away, and the townspeople leave the court, it is up to the visitors to decide how to move forward. do they talk among themselves? do they reflect on the events that took place alone? one thing that is certain is that the Sergeant got his way this week. will he continue to force them to keep picking each other off in the weeks that come? only time will tell.

this isn't really an after party. it's too sad, but perhaps many people will take comfort in the fact that they are not alone. either mingle at the motel, or somewhere else in town, or even visit Nine in his cell. it's up to you as to how you will spend the rest of this afternoon]

[ oda’s heading out to have a smoke when he sees kino and... a chicken?

he heads towards the traveler, almost as if the situation in the trial room hadn’t happened at all. ]

You got a pet?

[quickpersuader]

Somehow...

[Kino continues to look down at the chicken with an expression that's a mix of annoyance and, yes, still bafflement.]

I once passed through a country where everyone was given a pet to raise and care for. It was to encourage empathy. They taught travelers their ways as well, and gave one pet to any traveler passing through.

[A soft sigh.]

I asked for a chicken then... but I killed and ate it once I was outside of the country. Somehow, this... seems to be the one I had then.

[odasaku]

So you’re trying to raise it like you were taught? Or are you going to eat it again?

[quickpersuader]

I'm not sure what to do with it. The diner gives me better food, and some of the others don't seem to want it dead. [Like Sakura and probably Millium.]

Having to feed it all the time is a little tiresome, though.

[odasaku]

That seems troublesome.

[ oda puts his hand to his chin, thinking about it. ]

Maybe you can ask the others to help out. If that doesn’t work then... I guess you can give it to the diner? The bartender did say that they’re self-sufficient, so I don’t think they’d complain.

...thank you for not selecting an icon, icon picker

[quickpersuader]

I might. There's not much to do around here, but I'd still rather spend it on something other than feeding a chicken.

[Caring for a life other than Kino's own is... not ideal.]

[odasaku]

Yeah, just leave a notice or something in the motel where people can see. I also don't mind helping out, if no one comes.

[ he'd rather not make people too sad by making the chicken their diner food tbh. ]

[quickpersuader]

Didn't think this would be why I needed the writing supplies.

[Good thing Sakura showed Kino just where they all are.]

[odasaku]

Not like you expected to get back a chicken you already killed either.

[quickpersuader]

That too.

[This is so weird...]

It's strange enough that we're from different worlds, but bringing a chicken back to life is...

[Kino has no idea the great irony of these words.]

[odasaku]

[ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ]

Yeah, I think that's probably the strangest I've seen.

[quickpersuader]

I suppose if you can bring back people, a chicken can't be that hard. Just pointless.

[Sigh.]
