THE SECOND PROSCRIPTION
(CW: Coffins, claustrophobia in general, skeleton bones)

Most interesting.

[Suddenly, a bright light from above lights up, same as last week, from the bone chandelier. Once more, the light only seems to shine on one individual, as the Elder Steward appears, looking pleased as punch.]


Excellent, excellent. You have condemned The Noodles to die by quite the majority, so certain you were of her guilt!

[There is a long, long pause. Finally, though, the Elder Steward does something unexpected. First, he throws his hood off to reveal--huh. A rather young-looking and handsome figure. Odd.]

But...

[A slow, fanged smile appears on his face, before he turns to Eric, raising a toast with a glass of something that might be red wine-or something else.]

You were wrong. Congratulations, Fast. You have exceeded my and Our Lady's expectations. You have damned an innocent woman to the cruel death you deserve for your crime, and your fellow shall be forced to watch. For this you shall be rewarded protection for that special person, as promised.

Now.

How does it feel to know what you've done, hm?

[relieable]

[it sounds like Eric's nightmares were really bad. it sounds like he did not do this on purpose. Osomatsu is trying to see past his own rage, but he's always been an incredibly selfish individual. he's still shaking. they're all going to go after Eric, probably, so Osomatsu doesn't need to worry about that.

still, he wants to slaughter the man himself. maybe he'll get the chance, maybe he won't. he turns his head away, breathing erratically. when he finally gets that under control, his voice is like ice]

...Even if I killed you, or anyone killed you, it wouldn't change a thing. You deserve to live with your guilt.
