AFTER-ICE-CREAM-PARTY

[pecker]

[Boy everyone is so bloodthirsty tonight. And now a kid is dead and another is gonna execute. Do y'all need some baskin robbins, because it seems like you do!!! So before everyone can leave, Niwatori raises her voice louder than it's gone before now to draw a little attention, and then deflates immediately when she actually gets it.]

Excuse me, please! U-um... this case was really hard, and I think we could all use some time to cool our heads before we finally go back. So... ice cream? Who's with me?

[she'll lead the pack there and anyone else can go home or to visit Clarisse on the set of Orange is the new Black.

Niwa's not that good of a host though, she just gets her own ice cream and lets everyone serve themselves. Who is she to limit your freedom. (Someone who doesn't want to be partly responsible for a Millium Monstrosity, that's who.)]

...there was going to be an execution either way. Are you wondering why I volunteered?

[burgerprince]

Yeah. I am.

[silvertongueheir]

I'm not unfamiliar with killing, though I've never performed an execution. But in battle against Humanity's Wake, we can't afford to hold back. And I confess I was angry with her in particular. [Look at all these bird graves.]

[burgerprince]

I’m not saying what she did wasn’t wrong, but you guys shouldn’t have been in such a hurry to kill her.

[silvertongueheir]

[A sigh.] So we should just have let the Sergeant do it himself, is what you mean?

[burgerprince]

Yes? You shouldn't all have been so excited to kill someone.

[silvertongueheir]

...I let my anger get the better of me. I won't volunteer so quickly next time.

[Next week]
