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?]

[ Bolin is definitely in the park and just attacking a poor tree with rocks. ]

[Park]

[Whether or not Osomatsu takes her up on her offer, Kino will eventually be found near the pond. Although...

It's likely people will hear her before they see her. Her voice rings out clearly as she doesn't hum, doesn't murmur, but sings, carrying out into the openness of the park, the air, the sky.

"I'll give you some flowers
Some lovely, colorful flowers.
So that you might be happy.
So that you might smile."

It's a simple, simple song, and she drags her voice out carefully over each note, each syllable. Singing, as though if she fills her ears with the sound, she might be able to distract herself for just a little bit. Singing, as though if she puts the weight into the words, her heart might not feel so heavy.

Silence follows the final note. It's only after a solid moment that she sighs, mumbling:]

I can't believe I miss his voice.

[There is a numb feeling to accompany it all. He finally gets his turn— which is why it’s not until later that he comes around. And it’s the park where he surfaces, to look at the water from his spot, sitting against a nearby tree. He won’t turn down any visitors though. He may be holding himself together but it’s easy enough to see this hasn’t left him doing very well. But... maybe he’ll feel better after tomorrow.]

I'm a murder robot who kills good girls, AMA

[Olympia obviously doesn't have much choice about where she's going tonight. She's in her cell, just standing still and quietly thinking. If someone comes in, she'll turn to face them, but that's all.

It's no surprise to her that people would be so angry at her. It doesn't bother her. But failure, that bothers her. Knowing she couldn't save the one person she cares about the most. Knowing Millium's death was for nothing.

She's not actually at all sure that Millium's death having served a purpose would make it any better.]

[robitussin]

[Normally she heads to the pond to think, but this time...

Natalie can be found in the shed near the lodge where the Sergeant chose to put her piano. She's not playing anything, though; she's not even looking at the keys. Instead, she's seated on the ground, back pressed again one of the legs of the instrument as she stares up at the ceiling.

She can't claim to be in the mood for conversation, but... Well, the door is left open all the same.]

[pecker]

[She's off to get Olympia's earmuffs. Because who wouldn't want to collect Halloween accessories from a child murderer? After that, she's just going to chill in her room with them around her neck, reading a book. She thinks she'll put them on when she goes to sleep. It'll block out everyone else's crying.

Her door is open though if anyone wants to chat. She's mostly just relieved there wasn't more heat on her after being a suspect.]

[protectandselfserve]

[well fuck he can't go to the diner to get some pie after the trial, so he may as well ask as they leave...]

Anyone want to go for ice cream as a pick-me-up? I'll buy!

[he's got a few things he's wondering about, but.....]

[clearities]

[ People might find Sakura immediately coming out of the lodge after a bit-- it's actually the first place that she's decided to go to after the trial was said and over with in spite of not being an executioner. However, she's rather quiet when she walks out, walking towards the motel. Her room, specifically. Perhaps, if she can shut herself away from the world she can finally, finally shed tears about all of this. It all just hurts so much and feels so raw and she feels so extremely betrayed. He murdered for her and she didn't want it. She's never wanted it. Azura didn't deserve that. Not to save her. It's not fair... And she actually can't immediately go into her room because the room she passes by before her own is Millium's and her breath hitches, her body freezes, and she falls down onto her knees and starts sobbing, right at the doorstep. ]

[marmoron]

[Keith's in the park again after the trial, sitting with Cosmo in a secluded spot away from everyone else. He'd be harder to find if his wolf wasn't glowing and neon, but that's besides the point. He doesn't have the sword with him this time, but maybe that says worse things about his state of mind right now. He lies back on the grass, looking up at the sky with a focused look in his eyes.]

[relieable]

[probably no one wants to see Osomatsu. he's wandering around town, though, then stops to look at the remains of the diner. he waits there for a while, his hands in his pockets, filled with a nervous energy. he mostly avoids everyone who passes, unless they call out to him directly.

eventually he heads to the tavern to wait until he gets to go... take care of things. he's seated at the bar, nursing a beer]

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus is curled up on the cot in his cell, back to the bars. His shoulders are shaking slightly, the tears that have been threatening to fall finally pouring down his cheeks. Of course. Of course he's destroyed every good relationship he had here and had nothing to show for it. The only satisfaction he feels is that Olympia is going down with him. When anyone enters, his voice is shaky, with hardly any sign of him trying to keep it steady.]

Why are you here?

[streetwolf]

[Wayne just heads back to the motel. His doors left open and there's enough noise to tell that things are being moved around inside.

His bedding, the boxes of ammo it's all being picked up and packed into a bag. He's not staying in this building.]
