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]

[Maybe it is stupid, but it means something to Millium. And right now, that's really enough.]

Then it's a promise from me, too.

...Although, I'm sure you don't care if I do or not, right?

[She smiles a little, glancing at him out of the corners of her eyes.]

[ ...For a moment, his eye twitches. ]

I'll fucking kill you if you try something stupid like Nine and die from it.

Doesn't mean I actually care or anything, though. So you're right. I don't care if you make a promise or whatever.

[ Actually what he said not a second ago means he might sort of care now. Hard to believe, but it's already started, though if anyone tries to call him out he'd scream bloody murder, try to explode their face, or something. ]

Ehehe. Gonna bring me back just to kill me? Now that's dedication!

[Maybe not the best thing to be giggling about, given their situation, but it's the first time she's sounded more like herself since the trial. That's gotta stand for something.]

But nah, I get it. Don't worry, if anyone else ever hears a peep about this I'll totally let you blow my face off or whatever.

[ It does, and it looks like he'll let it go since there was some praise in there too...but also because this has somehow brought back some semblance of normalcy in the midst of this madness.

Without it being extremely annoying. ]

Looks like we're both in agreement, then.

[ ...So he's at least sure no one else's going to hear this and that's good enough for him right now. ]
