Week 6: Trial

   

The atmosphere at the courtroom is different this time. Although people are filling the tribunes, not everyone seems to be furious with the outsiders. Some are scowling and looking at them with outrage, others are cautiously wary of them. Unhappy, but not about to snap anyone's neck.

The Sergeant waited until everyone was at their spots, and counted them:

"Our numbers are dwindling. It's surprising, I admit. I thought there'd be more of you at this point"

Not that it's inconvenient. It's just surprising. The number of podiums belonging to the deceased prove just how many have perished. Several of you may be feeling a bit lonely in the sea of black velvet.

"Wayne Uedera, Osamu Dazai. They're the victims this time. Good luck, everybody. Here's my help to you all, like last time, vote for as many as you consider necessary:

[She takes a breath.]

For them...?

[robitussin]

You're the one who brought her up. Does what was off limits a week ago matter now?

[amburere]

[ No more laughing, it seems. But he does look at Hawks before he turns to her again. ]

[robitussin]

[After a moment...]

Can you do me a favor?

[amburere]

What?

[robitussin]

[There are a multitude of things she could ask for here. An apology. A promise to see him again. In the end, though...]

Don't hurt whoever it is that volunteers to kill you.

[amburere]

I've been fighting my entire. I'm not stopping now.

[robitussin]

...You know it isn't going to matter. If they don't kill you, the Sergeant will, and you'll just be harming one of the last chances we have to fuck with his plans.

[amburere]

[ He just lets out a breath. Point taken, but he's not going to respond like the rude asshole he is.

But he did hear her, at least. ]
