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]

[ Azura strides in here last of all, in what's probably closer to morning than nighttime. It's quieter, now, and no one else is lurking around, so it felt like the best time. ]

...Nine. Are you sleeping?

[linearcrash]

[ He's awake mostly because it's way too cold to actually sleep in there. Sitting on the bed with his back against the wall as he looks over at her. ]

Hey.

[ He can't really help the smile there. ]

[prayerwheel]

[ She tries to smile in return, but it just looks awkward and fake, so she reverts to her usual blank face. ]

...hello. I suppose this is when I would ask how you are, but that question likely answers itself.

[ Ever since she stepped into the middle of a war, she's been prepared to die, but this is a little different. ]

[linearcrash]

I wouldn't even know how to answer that, yo.

[ He's been doing way too much thinking and there's only Keith on the other side of the wall for company. ]

How about you?

[prayerwheel]

I'll be fine.

[ Eventually.

There's a pause, and Azura clears her throat. ]

That isn't what I came to discuss, ah...you said you would take a rain check for a dance.

[ Redeem it now, Nine. ]
