WEEK 3 TRIAL

It was noon on Saturday.

No matter where they were, no matter what they were doing...the moment the chimes rang out through the hall, they felt a change.

The world...began to expand, as they felt themselves leaving the world they were on, and towards another, much larger world...🗈



...As always, the courtroom was there - along with the audience, watching, waiting for the entertainment before them.

The Witch - Nirrti - was there, sitting in the most important place, watching all of them with a sharp, cruel gaze, a smile of pure delight on her face.

Watanuki was also there, but he merely lounged in the back behind them, smoking a kiseru pipe in silence.
...It seemed as if he was content to watch - that he had to watch - as part of the rules of the game.

There was no music to be heard, but... perhaps on another plane, in another place, someone else heard music as they gazed upon the proceedings.

Again, their forms had changed - perhaps into something different than last time, but...still a change, no matter how dramatic or inconsequential it was.

...There was a deep silence in the room, one that no one wanted to break. It was the faint tension in the air, like the moments before a race or a competition begins.

They had found the truth last time....but now, two people had died.
Was it possible for them to find the culprit this time?
A culprit that....had...

No, it had to be.

For the sake of the dead...and the sake of them all.

While it can be painful, it can also be really great. It can bring a smile on your face just thinking about them or give you strength when you feel at your lowest. Like an extra light in your life that you might not need, but is special on it's own.

...It's not a bad description.

It's not a pain everyone wants, Sora. Sometimes it's easier to exist in the dark.

I know it's not for everyone. To me, it's worth giving a shot even if they don't feel the same way.

Except your emotions are normal.

[personal profile] rikuchi 2019-04-13 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
And so are yours. I've been there, trust me.

[ Believing it's easier to exist in the dark. ]

We can talk about it later, if you want.

... if you want.

[God, Natsuno's rubbing off on him, isn't he?]
rikuchi: (will not give up on you)

[personal profile] rikuchi 2019-04-13 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I do.

[ Said pointedly, his voice gentle but firm. ]

....

[Well, he knows where he's going immediately after this nightmare of a trial is done.

To his room. With the door locked.]

[ Oh and that's who he was looking at. Whoops. Riku isn't supposed to listen in when he gets sappy. ]

Riku is right.

[ Everyone's feelings are their own and it's normal for them. ]

......There's no need for a light that just burns itself out in a short time.

Only if you let it.

[personal profile] aleph_armed 2019-04-14 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
That's quite the ego you have.

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-04-14 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I would call it ego... I just believe that there's some things worth holding on to.

[personal profile] aleph_armed 2019-04-14 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
...There's a cost to trying to hold onto something past its time. Sometimes that cost is far higher than anyone can pay.

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-04-14 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I've already paid the price before. And I would do it all again for the people I love.
aleph_armed: (Kali: Angry)

[personal profile] aleph_armed 2019-04-14 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
And some people are still paying the price with nothing to show for it, years later.

Is that what happened to you?

[personal profile] aleph_armed 2019-04-14 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say it's just me. Lobotomy... We had someone who was our Light. Even after she left us, we couldn't let go of that light she gave us.

But in the end, all it brought us was death. Our weakness caused the deaths of countless people, people who believed in us. And for what? Hundreds of soulless engines of death. Hell, one of our facilities has a personification of Death inside of it.
keydomhearts: <User name="oira"> (🌟oh thats a thing)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-04-14 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa. I'm sorry that happened to you.

[ Sounds like it was complicated... ]

Can you tell me about her? Your light?
