SEVENTH TRIAL
[ After a while, Davy Jones comes and collects you all again. It's a much quicker trip than he's ever had to take for you all before. You all fit so easily into the elevator in the theatre now, don't you?
As he plays the song that takes you down, even Jones seems tired. But the elevator certainly isn't, moving just as dramatically into the depths of the ship as it ever has. You now know all the floors it passes on its trip down to the trial room, don't you?
And none of you even know that this is your last ride down. The end is coming. But that's for later, and not quite yet for all of you.
The crew of the Dutchman is... different, somehow, this week. There are more figures aboard, and they're all singing, well. Maybe Scott was right, that first week. ]
Ye know what to do, passengers.
[ Jones moves to the wall to look out at his ship, scowling.
The podiums are waiting.
Welcome to your seventh trial.

[He seems truthful about that part, at least.]
And, hell, we're down to only a few people. This is going to end, sooner rather than later, and I figured I'd finally act instead of sitting on my ass all day. Besides--I believe Zaveid said something about trust, yes?

[Constantine looks distracted.]
no subject
[Doesn't make sense, he tried to say but couldn't bring himself to. He's having a really hard time reconciling this with everything he knows and thinks of Constantine]
no subject
[But even as he says this, even as he talks about Jasper, he seems unsure.]
no subject
[He's so looking at him as if he's going to find by staring at him an inkling this isn't all what it seems at first glance. He sees John being unsure, but doesn't know how to interpret it]
no subject
Filbo, have you ever been to a magic show? There's a sort of unspoken word that whatever you do, you don't subject the audience to any sort of threat of danger.
[He wouldn't purposely put someone under harm. Not without them knowing about what he was about to do.]
no subject
[Well that's as unsubtle as Reika got. Unsubtle enough for Filbo to try to look past the cloud of emotions and encompassing sense of betrayal he feels at the thought of Constantine killing someone and making them go through a trial. Without anything that looks immediately off like it had been with Reika's knife and Freyja's motive, he really fell into his emotions -- already a little on edge from all these days of hallucinations. Probably speaks volumes of how convincing Constantine made things.
For someone who would like to think is capable of looking past the painful things, he does seem to have some difficulty when it's about friends]
...you--we--you--you meant it all, right? Everything we talked for two months?
no subject
Every word.
[He seems honest, at least.]
But I have to be in the right place to finish this.
no subject
[No matter what Constantine still can do that with no difficulty at all, hah.
But still, he stares at the podium until the time to vote comes]
no subject
I'm sorry it came to this, Filbo. You're still the best man out of us all here.
no subject
I suppose I can understand the feeling of needing to do something. You don't think we'll manage to win, then?
no subject
[His smirk grows wider. But...needless to say, there doesn't seem like there's anything obvious that Constantine could gain from doing this, huh?]
no subject
It really is unfortunate that this is how things have turned out. I really wanted to see this through to the end with you.
But I trust you had your reasons. And I trust you know what you're doing. Don't let me down, ja?
no subject
Like I said--it's about trust.
[Besides--magicians are known liars and cheats.]
no subject
[Do what you gotta do, Constantine. And...]
I'm sure we'll meet again soon enough.
no subject
no subject
But I'm not ready to give up just yet. Even if you couldn't have faith in us, I'm sure we'll be just fine!
[........i mean he's smirking while he says it; he does not believe that you didn't have faith in us, okay.]
