—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?

I know he hasn't been sincere with me.

[ ango just said he fed crowley twice this week, so she is like, okay. ]

He told me he wouldn't kill again this week, but I didn't think that was true. Even if I don't like what he's like, that doesn't mean I still don't want to understand.

[herptile]

It's one thing to understand, its another to use your own body to get answers from him. Come on.

1/2

[discernments]

[ i hate you

I HATE YOU SO MUCH SHE'S STILL TOO CATHOLIC FOR THIS ]

[discernments]

It's not like that! Getting answers from his is separate from not wanting him to go on a rampage! He told me he killed you when I didn't even ask.

[ SHE'S SO OFFENDED. ]

[eusford]

[ he does want your body tho sorry queen ]

[discernments]

[ sorry but she is devoted to the lord ]

[herptile]

Wow. Good for him. You know, I literally saw you on the screens saying you'd allow him to suck your blood. You do know that vampires can see that as something more intimate besides the whole hunger thing, right?

[He is really going to lean into this to make it as unappealing as possible.]

There's no rampage thing. He just sates his desire.

[discernments]

Vampire lore is different across worlds. If he views it as intimate...

[ she looks over at ango, who revenge killed for luchino apparently.... giving intimacy to his killer.....

anyway. ]

I'll refuse it.

[herptile]

Good. You're a capable lady. I don't just want you letting him convince you its something its not. He'll deny it all he wants, but he's a predator first and foremost.

Humans are livestock to him, after all.

[discernments]

If that is his nature, I believe it. I don't think he's tried to convince me he's something he's not.

[herptile]

[A sigh.]

You are really too good for this world, Jeanne.

[In like. An exasperated sort of way.]

[discernments]

[ that makes her a little tired inside, but she smiles anyway. ]

Believe it or not, all I've done is disagree with him and not seen him as he wanted to be seen.

[herptile]

What does he want to be seen as?

[eusford]

He's got all that wrong but okay.

[discernments]

I'm still listening.

[eusford]

Just think what you want at this point.

[discernments]

All right. I will.

[eusford]

[ YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH ]

I hope that your God is much more merciful to you than mine has been.

[unbested]

[





wait they can???? ]

[okidoke]

[awkwardly pats his shoulder in consolation]

[eusford]

I will literally turn into a demon and go onto a rampage killing you all but okay.

[herptile]

Yeah, do that far away from the rest of us back where you come from if we get out of this place.

[eusford]

I'm probably gonna have people rushing in pouring blood down my throat when I get back so don't worry! [ think of him everywhere you go freak ]

[herptile]

[no actually the killing thing in the graveyard sated his sudden urge for bloodlust so he's fine he'll get mad at other people later in hit 4v1 game identityV when he [redacted]]

You're despicable.

[eusford]

Haha.

I did my job well, didn't I?
