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. ]

Then-

[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.]

[guffawsungraciously]

Do not bargain with the flesh eating demon, Flayn. It is not going to go well for anyone except the demon!

[cethflayn]

[don't fucking sass her she knows how to haggle, can you haggle Jasper?

She didn't think so]

[guffawsungraciously]

[WAS YOUR FATHER FIGURE POSSESSED BY A DEMON THAT PROCEEDED TO DO A SHEEV PALPATINE WITH YOU???????]

[dokkalfheimr]

[Oh my fucking god - ]

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-

[hellahighwater]

[ In a strange inverse, Chloe is...remarkably quiet, but— ]

She's gonna be upset enough. When she realizes... Everyone just fucking stop a second.

[dokkalfheimr]

[she owes you like eight thousand apologies but still, exactly, goddamn.]

[hellahighwater]

[ lorna's feelings >>>> the unresolved bullshit from last week okay ]

[dokkalfheimr]

[look at least we've both acknowledged that we're fucking stupid

lorna is an innocent third party who doesn't deserve]

2/2

[cethflayn]

[And then Flayn looks towards the spirit.]

O-Oh, I am so sorry. I did not catch your name.

[FLAYN IT'S NOT GOING TO FALL FOR THAT]

[scouserer]

[Constantine becomes quiet at the outburst, startled. He doesn't protest against it, however, unusually.]

[ahelpingpaw]

Well said.

[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]
