—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?

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?

[herptile]

And what job is that? Being ugly?

[eusford]

You're so angry.

I played the part of being a monster, apparently, since you're all rushing to tell everyone how awful I am. [ Which is fair? But also one of them attacked him first soooooooooooo... ]

[herptile]

I'm not angry. I'm tired.

[HE'S VERY EXHAUSTED]

And hard to play a part when you are one? I mean, you just admitted to killing me because of my blood and getting too close.

[eusford]

Hm...

I could elaborate on the last part some more, but that's a bit embarrassing. So just hate me for the rest of your life.

[herptile]

[He's folding his arms.]

I'm a curious sort. So try me.

[eusford]

I'm still exhausted after getting a nasty wound from the assassin, so nah.

I'm telling you! Just hate me!

[herptile]

How about no. I'm a stubborn guy too, on top of the curiosity. So tell me.

[eusford]

...

[ lmao ]

You just reminded me of someone I used to know.

[herptile]

...


[He's...frowning slightly.]

That so. A friend?

[eusford]

Thaaaaat's where I gotta stop you.

It's done and over with. That's persons long dead and I've even forgotten what their face looks like. Just leave it.

[herptile]

[Yeah, of course you'd be that way, you cagey binch.]

Ha. That's a reaction. Does it really scare you that much, being seen as other than what you are?

[Looks at IdentityV lore and chuckles at irony to come.]

[eusford]

Scary? No.

[ Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ]

I just know what I am. At the end of the day, this is all I am now.

[herptile]

...

[He remembers their conversations before...everything happened.]

[It's a bit difficult to stay optimistic after a couple centuries. It was hard to while I was still human, even.]

.....You know, some optimism would serve you well, in the long run.

[eusford]

Maybe.

Dunno how much longer this'll last, but I'll put it into consideration.

[ MAYBE ]

[herptile]

You'd better. It's good for you.
