FOURTH TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ Well! That's sure something, isn't it? There may or may not be a lot of you excited to get down to business, but Jones does eventually move to collect you all and bring you to the theatre. It's a familiar routine by now, perhaps even comfortingly so given the irregularities of this particular killing.

Two of you gone this week. The elevator is started to feel downright spacious, don't you think?

A shanty, as usual, echoes from the crew of the Dutchman as you enter. The room is the same as it has ever been before you as the elevator settles into position. ]

To yer positions, passengers. Chins up.

[ Three more podiums claimed by the rust and wear.

You have your evidence, and you're going to need it before long. The music outside dies down.

Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

[magycks]

Oh, right. You gave your roommate a bit of a fright yesterday.

[ like magica gives a shit??? ]

[cethflayn]

[Scuse me is she not supposed to care???]

[bonesorter]

... I'm very sorry, for having worried Flayn like that.

[Lorna is still going to apologize anyway, even if she probably already did say sorry to Flayn at some point this morning after waking up.]

[cethflayn]

It is not something you need to apologize for. Friends care for each other, do they not?

[bonesorter]

[She nods, touching the friendship bracelet against her own wrist here for a moment. Right, they're friends, she shouldn't have to apologize so much. Even so...]

Mm... even so... I did not mean to cause you distress like that.

[cethflayn]

[Flayn shakes her head.] It is no trouble. I promise.

[magycks]

Well, as long as you're feeling better, no harm done. Right?

[bonesorter]

R--right...

[She stutters, because Magica makes her nervous most days but something about the way she said that is rather threatening.]

[cethflayn]

[Flayn glaring at someone is funny, the fact that it's Magica she's glaring at is even funnier.]

Please do not bully my roommate when you have no proof of guilt.

[magycks]

I'm not bullying, I'm questioning pointedly. If you've got some ace up your sleeve that proves she's innocent, by all means, produce it and we can all move on with our lives.

[cethflayn]

[So fuckin rude]

All I have is the truth of what I know, and I have expressed it at length. If you do not have solid evidence that Lorna is guilty, then I shall not believe it to be so!
