—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?

Oh, welcome back. Stuff happened since you all died.

[Maya is taking the return of the deceased pretty calmly. Look, she has returned to life a few dozen times, resurrection lost its luster by now, haha]

[herptile]

Oh yes. We know.

[They definitely know.]

[omegathree]

Yes, it did seem that way. We could watch you from the space we were in.

[ walks over and taps directly on Val's chest screw. In Ango's direction: ]

Hey, I found it!

[omegathree]

What? When was it lost?

[alyricalassassination]

Earlier, when we were checking your body. Apparently it got replaced by a different screw, and Ango said we need to find the real one because it'd probably have something incriminating on it.

[ ....glances over at ango dead on the floor now tho ]

[omegathree]

I've no idea where it went.

[He was dead before the nails got switched.]

[hasu]

Thanks.

"Hell" here wasn't bad.
