week 5, post trial.

[robitussin]

[Another week draws to a close, but as more culprits are led away, something is different all the same. After this particular trial, perhaps it's not a surprise that there's no note or offer to meet in a specific place tonight. Can any of them say they have any energy or desire to do something like that at a time like this? The place they regrouped last Saturday evening stands there, burned nearly beyond recognition, and the townspeople look at them with the distrust that's been steadily building. Not to mention... Those are the least of the losses they've faced in the last few days.

Of course, even as so much changes day by day, the town remains, with plenty of places for people to go if they don't want to stay inside the motel. Where can you be found tonight?]

[It actually takes a couple minutes for someone to arrive. Slowly, the Sergeant descends the stairs into the jailcells section, moving towards Oda. He finds him unconscious, slumped against the wall, and nudges him with a foot.

Once he confirmed Oda's unconscious, he looks around. Franciscus' cell isn't too far away...it's likely he saw everything happen. There was a witness.]

...I'm not making another trial right now.

[Especially not if there's a witness right away. That trial will be over in five minutes flat. Deciding to speed things up, the Sergeant picks up Oda's prone body, and takes him into Olympia's cell. With a wave of a hand, Olympia's remains vanish, and he leaves Oda on its place. Once he made sure Oda was safely inside, he stepped out of the cell, fixed whatever damages Olympia's explosion made, and walked out of the basement. On the way out, he mutters:]

Dazai isn't going to like this at all. Too late to back off, though.
