—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 don't know about how much of a say I should have in this when I'm not as invested in getting compensation as the rest of you.

[phaselockandload]

Perhaps not, but compared to many of us you had the integrity not to waver on the 'not killing' part. Since that's a part of the point we're trying to make you're suited for that.

[Jeanne also is pretty trusted, so that helps too]

[discernments]

[ she sighs. ]

I think Crowley has it fine, but I have murdered before, Maya.

[eusford]

[ hehe ]

[notbymyside]

But that makes you the best person to speak up. The one with the least to gain is the fairest in their judgement, no?

[discernments]

I can't argue with that. That is part of why I have the responsibilities I do.

[ but i didn't want to take it away from ryza ]

[notbymyside]

[Crowley is not valid but Ryza is, so this is ok.]

[eusford]

[ not hehe ]

[emptied]

I believe that's exactly why you're being nominated, Jeanne-san.

[discernments]

I am flattered, but any of you would have done as well as I have.
