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?

[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.

[notbymyside]

I thought you had killed him.

[He would be outright accusing Vicious, except that Luchino already outed Crowley for that, so.]

And you're stronger than me, it was the only way I could think of to do it.

But if beating me up really satisfies you that much, then do it. It looks like we can't die here anyway.

[Since he got revived and all.]

[transgressors]

Cool, so you justified your little smashing spree however you could.

[ he just makes a little jazzhands motion. the gun's still in one hand. ]

Spoilers: you were fucking wrong. But glad I could help you feel a little more righteous and a little better because that's aaaaaaall that matters. Thought you were meant to be smart.

[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]

[Quietly gasps.]

[herptile]

[SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS NO MATTER WHAT YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM]

[transgressors]

[ that's fucking hysterical, thanks luchino. ]

1/2

[notbymyside]

[Stop he's too gay for this.]

2/2

[notbymyside]

[But a moment later, he gives a weak laugh.]

I deserve that.

[herptile]

....You do.

[Pinching the bridge of his nose.]

I should also slap you for whatever the hell you've been doing with my actual murderer.

[eusford]

[ hehe ]

[transgressors]

[ actually y'know what? luchino inspired him. he's smacking crowley upside the head :) ]

[eusford]

[ GRABS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD? ]

Eh? What did I do!?

[alyricalassassination]

[ oh is that how this happened???

Bucky is giving Ango the MOST disappointed stare imaginable. ]

[notbymyside]

[Oh look he suddenly can't see.]

[alyricalassassination]

So much for trying to find a way to help, I guess.
