SECOND TRIAL

Time's up, boys and girls. Please gather up your evidence and make your way to the vault door.

[ The process of heading to the elevator and crowding in remains the same as last week - Angel leads you all to the elevator car, then stays behind as you make your slow descent to the dome below. You might not even notice if you aren't paying attention, but... the cart is already less crowded than it was last week. You certainly won't be able to avoid noticing it if your numbers dwindle too much further than this.

When the doors open on the trial room, it's just as bleak a place as last week. ]


Take your places, won't you? And this time, you all know what's at stake. No more... funny business.

[The number of podiums displaying that red light is higher now - Damien, Lif, and Piers are all represented by blank spots now, no tasteful covers or anything normal to mark their passing, just a red glow and a gap in your number.

Cheery!

The screens raise up to the ceiling to give you all room to see, and the Professor's final words before the trial begins ring out: ]


Find the killer, leave alive. And killer? Try a little harder to stop them from doing that than the last one in your shoes. Call out for me if you require anything.

[ Welcome to your second trial. ]

I'm not crying. [And it's true. She's pissed off and growling, but not actually crying right now.]

[Not actually. Just tearing up. Close enough.]

So would you be this mad if it was someone you didn't like who'd done it? Or would you be pointing your stick and yelling like you always do when you don't get what you want out of something?

This little game isn't going to be fair, and it's not going to be nice. You can think what you want, but I have seen more than enough blood in my lifetime to know that. Get used to dealing with unpleasant things now.

[ From the other side, just quietly: ] I'm not saying you don't have a point, but can you guys do this some other time? Please?

You think I haven't dealt with unpleasantness because I haven't deadened my emotions? I've seen the worst of gods and humanity, and handled them just fine. I haven't succumbed to hopelessness here, and I don't plan to, ever.

That actually isn't what I said, and if you think my emotions are dead, you really do not understand anything.

[personal profile] ladygeryon 2020-04-25 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
And I never claimed your emotions were dead. I'm simply not going to make myself small and quiet like they wanted me to be ever again.

Oh my god, take your issues somewhere else, now isn't the damn time.
