w2 trial.

—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?

[ bye binch. ]

[ Oh yeah. Ango is most definitely dead. Not many can survive such a straight shot to the head.

...But exceptions can be made. Ango's body falls and lays there for a moment, and then — his body glitches rather extremely, and suddenly, the injury he just got from being shot by Vicious is gone, and he can wake up and get up.

Additionally, there is a sharp bang of a gavel. ]

ORDER IN THE COURT! I SAY!
There will be no more chaos of this nature, lest repercussions be handed down!

[ The judge is very furious about this. ]

[transgressors]

[ he just swings around and points the gun at the judge ]

Ahhh, can it. You don't do shit for a whole fuckin' week but now you're throwing your weight around? Waste of fuckin' space.

[ he nudges ango with his foot. actually it's more like a kick. in his torso area. ]

Get up.

[notbymyside]

[The whole experience from 'shot' to 'death' to 'actually he's still alive' passes by so quickly that Ango is hardly aware of what's going on. In fact, he's just going to stay on the ground for a little longer after he's revived because he feels like his head is spinning.

But the judge only healed the gunshot wound in his head, so when Vicious kicks him in the torso Ango actually screams out in pain before curling in on himself and hugging his midsection.

But hey, he's alive?]

[transgressors]

[ oh he's absolutely resting his foot there and leaning a little. which is funny when he just told him to get up. ]

Aww. Still hurt? Good, hope it's givin' you hell.

[ he does actually move his foot off him at this point. ]

I said get up.

[notbymyside]

[Well there's definitely blood seeping out of his shirt now, thanks for that. Ango grits his teeth and tries to bear the pain, only to gasp and wince when Vicious pulls his foot off of him.]

Fuck off.

[transgressors]

Can it, you don't have the high ground to be mad. Maybe I should've gone at you with a baseball bat and made it totally even.

'Course, I can't pertify anyone for shit so it might hurt a bit more.

[eusford]

[ cool can he drink from him ]

[notbymyside]

[He might have been cool with it until he found out who you murdered u vampire fuck]

[herptile]

[herptile]

[Okay yeah, he's coming over, hi!! Hello. He's squatting down next to him and is kind of just. Giving him a disapproving look.]

...Well. Welcome back to the land of the living.

[notbymyside]

[It's fine he deserves it, and he gives Luchino a weak smile.]

Sorry about that. I thought I found your killer, but...

[Well. He was wrong.]

1/2

[herptile]

[A long drawn-out sigh.]

You went after Vicious because you thought he murdered me? Huh. I see.

2/2

[herptile]

[AND THEN HE'S SLAPPING HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD]

[adjourn]

[transgressors]

[ YEAH? YOU HEARD HIM. ]

[okidoke]

Can we go home yet?

[adjourn]

Soon.

[okidoke]

How soon is "soon"? What are we even supposed to be doin' right now?

[adjourn]

Well, today-slash-tomorrow is the last day of your study period. Today is officially the last day of proper study activities.

[ Steepling fingers. ]

We would normally have you conduct trial as normal, but...

Well, with the dead returned, that doesn't exactly make it intuitive, does it?

[unbested]

Whoa!! I've never seen him get that mad before!

[ he's not your judge...................... ]

[malborn]

[adjourn]

[ BEYONCE? ]

[eusford]

[ blows a kiss at the little man ]

[phaselockandload]

[In the meanwhile, while all this is happening, Maya just stands to a side and watches chaos and the cycle of revenge unfold.

Hey, what can she say, she has a fondness for vengeance, both physical and verbal, everything happening here is fair game as far as she's concerned]
