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]

Used to do it a lot.

[ It's true. He hadn't the chance recently. ]

It's been awhile since I've bothered, but with how shitty this place is, I've got more time on my hands than I want.

[robitussin]

...I'm gonna be honest, I can't really picture you doing it a lot. I can totally picture you trying it once and then saying it's beneath you or something, though. Guess I learned something new today.

[It's delivered in a tone that's as deadpan as it is tired.]

[kingbomber]

[ Okay, surprisingly that makes smirk for a moment, kind of like as if he's amused, before it goes away. ]

The more you know. It was more fun to do when I was younger, obviously. Feels like a waste of time, but we've got a lot of that now.

[ ... ]

This your first time bothering?

[robitussin]

Yeah. Not exactly a frequent rock skipper. I normally have a lot of other stuff to do, but... It's like you said.

[A shrug, as she tosses another one in and watches it sink immediately.]

Is there some kind of trick to it?

[kingbomber]

There is. Watch and learn.

[ Said more casually since he's mostly too tired to be putting on a show.

Bakugou picks up a rock carefully, holding one side with his thumb and his middle finger on the other side of it. Then, he shifts it so his thumb's on top of the rock-- ]

You're going to want to hold onto it like this. Then the best strategy is to throw it as hard as you can like this.

[ With a flick of his wrist the rock flies across the surface of the water, skipping more than a few times as it does. ]

See? 'Course some of the people I know from home could never get it right, but now that you know, it won't be hard for you to manage.

[robitussin]

[She glances his way, paying close attention to what he does. After a few moments, she picks up another rock and tries to mimic his movements; it still isn't perfect by any means, but it's absolutely better than her prior attempts.]

...You're a surprisingly good teacher.

[kingbomber]

[ Oh, huh. He's not expecting to hear that, but he's definitely taking that in stride. He did tutor Kirishima well. ]

Yeah? Maybe I can come up with some classes called '10 Easy Steps and More on How NOT to Murder Someone' and it'd be a success.

'cept for that stitched up asshole and that woman who was too eager to kill Nine.

[ ...Aka Dabi and Clarisse. ]

[robitussin]

I smell a mandatory seminar in our future.

[A beat.]

A mandatory seminar that they're both banned from.

[kingbomber]

I'll even make the decision to make it long as all hell.

[ Which is a worthy sacrifice...! ]

Yeah. Those two would definitely be banned since if they came I just know they'd try their hardest to cause it all to go to shit.
