THE THIRD TRIAL

[As soon as the final pieces of evidence are collected, Bottson just looks at everyone through his sunglasses and huffs, before rolling off.

Several moments later, the alarm sounds.]

ATTENTION! IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!! EVERYONE COME TO THE ELEVATORS IMMEDIATELY FOR THE TRIAL!! AHAHAHAHA!!

[Once everyone comes down to the trial room, once more powers and weapons disappear when they enter the force field. The table has been updated to reflect those who are now, unfortunately, gone.

Bottson, meanwhile, hops up on the table, looking completely disinterested in what's happening, even as he processes and uploads the evidence given. The suspect list appears on everyone's wrist communicators.]

THE GLOW

[From the ceiling, outside of the force field, is Marie, looking very pleased with herself.]

And? Miss Marie, what about me that you know suggests I would care about that?

[commandurr]

WHAT, DON'T YOU WANT MEMORIES OF THE PERSON YOU CARE FOR??

[vividsins]

If you'd have wanted to give them to me, you would have already. So since you're not, I'm not going to play along with you anymore.

[commandurr]

THAT...WELL...!!

FINE!! I'LL JUST...DESTROY YOUR MEMORIES IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE LIKE THAT!!! THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY, WILL YOU???

[vividsins]

Oh no, destroy my memories? And free me of every single attachment I have? Whatever would I do?

[ Sarcasm. There's so much. ]

Honestly, if you wanted me to be more dangerous, you would have given them back to me much earlier. As it is, I have no motive to harm a single person here, as I've no real attachments that I can make sense of.

[commandurr]

FINE THEN!!

THE MINUTE THIS TRIAL'S OVER, I'M BURNING YOUR MEMORIES, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!

[vividsins]

Are you sure you want to create that monster, Miss Marie?

[ That sure is a look she's getting. ]

[commandurr]

WHY NOT? YOU SAID YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR MEMORIES, RIGHT???

[vividsins]

I don't. But I thought even you had some self preservation instinct.

[commandurr]

OF COURSE I DO!!

[vividsins]

You're not acting like it.

[commandurr]

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A FOOL!!

[theserpentsmiles]

It's kind of cute how she thinks she's getting out of here.

[He's doing that thing again... A hungry serpent stalking after his prey. He's only been hiding in the grass this whole time.]

[commandurr]

WHAT? OF COURSE I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!!
