—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?

You did for several days. That's still lucky, I think. And I'm here now.

[notbymyside]

And I have a gunshot wound in my gut. Relaxing is the last thing on my mind right now.

[herptile]

....Oh, that's right, he said he shot his...killer.

[AGAIN >8I]

Which you wouldn't have gotten if you had thought twice about going after him. [He's reaching over to touch over his side.] How bad is it.

[notbymyside]

It's actually really painful and I've only been sustaining myself on sheer willpower so far. I could pass out at any moment.

[There's a reason he did no investigations beyond that one body investigation, and why he wasn't moving much. And why he looked so pale and wasn't as focused on trial as he should have been.

And it's bleeding right now, since he never got it properly treated and Vicious kicked it and all. In fact Luchino will probably be able to see spots of blood seeping into Ango's shirt.]

[herptile]

[ANGO YOU ARE AN IDIOT YOU KNOW THAT]

Hey...

[A little !!!! as he tries to put pressure over that stain.]

Stay with me, Ango.

[notbymyside]

[Yeah he is a big gay dumb idiot who is too smart and dumb at the same time. And he's wincing and hissing in pain at the hand putting pressure on his wound.]

It's fine, I'm not going to die from this. The bullet went clean through, I just need to rest and keep it from getting infected.

[herptile]

Still...

[YOU'RE BLEEDING, BRO!!!]

It's rather bad that despite this being a simulation, everything feels so real...so I wouldn't worry about the infected part.

[notbymyside]

[Also he got punched in the face by Bucky at some point, so there's that too.]

Then it will be fine. Once we're done here, I'll go and sleep until-

[Wait.

He shares a room with Crowley.

Um.]

[herptile]

...

We're kicking him out.

[notbymyside]

[He laughs weakly.]

Fine by me, he can go stay with Bucky.

[herptile]

Yes, I think that would work out well.
