FOURTH TRIAL
[ 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. ]

cw: the spirit likes eating people it's true
[That is the curse this spirit has to bear for their sins, and so she does indeed consider Flayn here with some interest, a very ugly sort of shine to her teeth, perhaps even drooling at the idea of it...]

What is he going to do? Good question. Right now, he's just trying to grab it.]

I take care of the dead! It's my job! I can handle this!

Turns out he was right. The spirit will float upwards to avoid being snatched here, clicking it's tongue in amusement at Lalli who will end up on the ground where she was before.
Guess that explains why even with the showering, Lorna didn't have anything on her shoes or otherwise...]

And he's saying a long chant of some sort, one about 'letting go of the pain' and 'accepting one's death' which is probably meant to soothe violent ghosts. And it might be effective in his world, but. Powers off.]
no subject
[She has an idea of what she wants to say, but everyone's yelling at her to back down and that would make this the second time she's caused a scene in the courtroom-]
Then would you not consider coming to terms of agreement with me? I love Lorna dearly - she is my friend no matter what. I did what I could to take care of her...and if she was your host, would that not mean I am owed for caring for you as well?
[Lorna owes her nothing, but you? Oh, you're paying up.]

She didn't think so]

Will any of you take five minutes to consider how Lorna feels?!
[This is possibly the loudest she's been in a while.]
Any deal that any of you make with this thing is something you're forcing Lorna to do to you, while she isn't even conscious enough to agree or disagree! Will you all stop for a moment and think about that?!
1/2
Freyja is the only person with a braincell on this entire ship.]
They do not see it as that-
no subject
She's gonna be upset enough. When she realizes... Everyone just fucking stop a second.

O-Oh, I am so sorry. I did not catch your name.
[FLAYN IT'S NOT GOING TO FALL FOR THAT]

[Agreed so much, Lady Freyja. There's Filbo, peeking from behind the podium. Why is everyone putting themselves in danger so much -- he definitely understands it but you all not dying would be great too guys]
