Attention, Strangers. It's time for the trial now.

Please bring whatever you see fit and not anything against the rules.

[And so it is, that the Strangers must come once more to the elevators, to the room where the force field sits and their podiums wait. Three more people are now Xed out, as if they never existed.

Once everyone is in place, five podiums light up red.]

THE BRITTLE	THE DISCORD	THE ENEMY	THE FORLORN
				THE JOVIAN

Once again, two bodies have been discovered. It sure is tragic. Please remember to vote accordingly.

[There is no hesitation, no pause, before the clock begins, and the ticking echoes through the chamber. The evidence is there for the remaining Strangers to see, and organize. Voting must happen to ensure justice. What else is there to say, then?

The trial for the murders of Vita Clotilde-Morris, the Bad Luck, and Jonathan Morris, the Double, has begun.]

I know. I never said you couldn't. Consider us fighting... not for you, but... with you, then? Is that any better?

[ Sorry. Even now is doing the slight snark here. ]

[unwittingking]

[He lets out a snort. The tears keep coming, but it's something.]

Yeah, I...I guess it is.

Just...be careful, okay? I don't want you getting hurt.

[He's half joking-Karma's done some impressive stuff already, some of which he's seen-but he still wants them to live. He wants everyone getting out of here alive...everyone that can, anyway.]

[comesaround]

I'll do my best. Just... promise me one thing.

[ Karma exhaled a small sigh, looking almost sad for a moment or two. ]

That should everything work out tonight, that you owe me a talk. Just the two of us. I don't agree with that you were willing to try and run away like that at first, but I also get why. You got kids back home and those who are impressionable who could be turned into monsters thanks to Kyuubey.

[ His tone doesn't sound like he's really too mad, though. ]

[unwittingking]

[His face goes a bit more somber at this.]

I promise. I'll talk with everyone. You'll be first, if you need to be.

[He'll owe everyone big time, if he gets out of here alive. The least he could do is talk to them about things.]
