—THE SECOND TRIAL—

Once again, at 9 AM sharp, a familiar bell tolls to alert the hour. You've become familiar with the flow of things, haven't you? You know what tod o — find your answers before the final ring chimes. Even if you try to avoid it, eventually your legs will bring you towards where you know you'll have to be. The courtroom doors swing open, welcoming.

Come by again, and it looks just like last week. Take your seat on any one you wish, and peruse the table lined with (non-alcoholic) refreshments and snacks. The same sign, promising a lunch break. And of course, your observers, sitting by the jury's seat shuffling about a stack of papers. Ask your questions and they will answer.

The judge's seat shows the same message as it has always done: "GRANT WE THINE JUDGMENT — ABSOLVE THEE THINE GUILT," and the same, strange, incorporeal form stays seated at the high seat, hand resting unto a gavel's handle.

"Today we will be investigating the cases of: Akeha, Valvatorez, and Vicious. Court is now in session."

The same blue, translucent field prevents you from leaving freely once you're in. You know the drill, don't you?

[discernments]

Is that someone's ability or something received from confession?

[ turning someone into stone.... ]

[emptied]

No one confessed to having an ability like it last week, but...

Well, it's not exactly hard to lie or conceal these things.

[eusford]

What about the abilities we receive after confessions?

Or are we acting like that's a secret.

[notbymyside]

We don't really need to keep it a secret, if everyone knows about them already.

[eusford]

Huh.

Everyone was pretty silent about them last week.

[notbymyside]

Everyone was probably testing the waters to see if people knew. But once it was revealed that seven powers were used across six people, it was inevitable that their existence would be spoken of.

[unbested]

[ hey he told everyone what his was!!! ]

[eusford]

[ damn was crowley just not paying attention cause this kid runs in a gay panic the second he sees him

maybe ]

[unbested]

[ IT WAS JUST REGULAR PANIC, THE GAY WAS INCIDENTAL ]

[eusford]

[ he should bite him again just for good measure ]

[unbested]

[ i mean

maybe once more for the road ]

[eusford]

[ Y'ALL WANNA BE HORNY SO BAD WTF ]

[unbested]

[ SHUT UP HE'S LONELY ]

[eusford]

[ it's okay he'll bite him one last time... make him really into gingers ]

[unbested]

[ don't do this to sylvain right before crau ]

[emptied]

I don't think anyone's really acting like that's a secret. But we haven't been sharing, either.

[eusford]

Yuuuuuuuup.

[phaselockandload]

It's unlikely the overseers will tell us if powers from the confessional were used -- but last week we got told how many powers in total were used. We may be able to get something from that this week too.

[Any information is good!]

[eusford]

Well I'll go first?

I can summon a horse and do some minor electricity.

[phaselockandload]

I showed what I can do, back when I executed Royce. No need for me to demonstrate again.

[...she hopes so, at least]

[eusford]

[ he does too cause goddamn ]

[notbymyside]

I described my power last week. In addition, I have the one-time-use of a power that makes people cranky and has them fixate on things.

[discernments]

It doesn't have to be from last week. It could be something new from this week.

[emptied]

Of course. Though it's a matter of honesty, now...
