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?]

[That earns an immediate eye roll, crossing her arms.]

Just because you have something doesn't mean you have to use it, you know.

Somethin' I remind myself every day here. [ It's been weeks since he's taken out the trash. Surely that has to count for something. ]

[robitussin]

What, other than the day that you helped burn down a building?

[Her voice is very flat.]

[amburere]

Maybe I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget how. [ His is very snarky in contrast. ]
