cartesianism | Week 2

Week 2 - after trial

[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]

Maybe if you convince him it’ll be psychologically scarring for you, he’ll let you have a go.

Hah. Putting on appearances like that makes me sick. [If that smirk means anything, though, the concept seems to amuse her...] It's not worth groveling for.

Right. You're probably not familiar with the concept.

[Clarisse isn't damaged she's just a dick, he's decided.]

Just don't kill anyone cause Sarge won't give you your fix.

[she's going to kill someone specifically because jughead told her not to]

If you're so worried about me killing someone, then you weren't thinking very hard when you came to find me alone.

[His plan to get rid of Clarisse finally comes to fruition.]

You wouldn't kill me. I'm too fun to antagonize.

Hah! Nice that you know your own worth.

[She follows through with her shot and actually turns to Jughead, holding her bow in one hand and placing the other on her hip.]

Real question for you. Let's ignore that it'd be kind of a pain in the ass to do it right now—Do you seriously think I wouldn't kill you?

[A scoff that is probably all too confident.]

And give Sarge his kicks? I’m not worth dying for.

[Totally flattered though.]

Ohhh, so that's what you think it's about.

[She laughs, short and harsh.]

Don't get me wrong; I'm not interested in acting like Sarge's plaything. But I'm not like Nine, either. I'm not dumb enough to get caught.
