THE SECOND TRIAL

[The chimes don't announce the opening of the doors this time. Instead, the loud creaking of the doors to the Debate Hall echoing through the Depths are the only signal that the Titled are given. There is still the sense that they do not dare refuse to go.

There is, after all, two death to deal with, as the Intercessor's voice beckons.]

COME.

[This time, upon entering and taking their seats, two of the desks have been draped in black. No picture to commemorate the dead, no memorial of any kind - in fact, nothing at all save the black draping. It's like those in charge simply had no care to remember those two. It's likely the same befalls those who die this week, as well.

The chanting in the darkness on the stage is still present, and as before, the logs are folded neatly on the desk. Of course, this time, there is also an extra paper which seems to give a brief description of the evidence found.

Kindness? Or perhaps cruelty to dangle those things in front of the Titled? As the remaining Titled take their seats and the chanting stops, there is only one way to figure things out.

So, get ready, Titled.

The trial of Harley Quinn, the Deceiver, and Ai Haibara, The Dawn and Dusk, has begun.]

Uh... I'd rather not get the Laslow treatment right now...

[ERIC IS AFRAID. But you can scrape it off his podium if you want?? He just wiped it off against it. Pies tho, there may still be a few.]

[almightyconflagration]

My aim is just as good with knives as it is with goop.

[Actually it isn't, but he can bluff with the best of them.]

[poorlovefool]

Are... you saying you'll cover me?

[What is this, he doesn't even. Actually that would get you executed McBurn but the thought counts??]

[almightyconflagration]

I'm saying you may learn firsthand if you try to make me leave my desk.

[Plenty of ways to stab without killing, after all.]

[carries_war]

Let's try not to have another brawl here. If you're antsy, I'll fight you again later.

[poorlovefool]

[Rolling his eyes at McBurn then because that is literally the opposite of what he said and was trying to do.

He blinks at Rubedo offering to fight him though.]

... You people are so fucking weird.

[carries_war]

All URTVs enjoy a good fight. Can't say about him, though.

[Said so casually.]

[almightyconflagration]

[Antsy doesn't even begin to cover it. He just wants this utter tedium to end already.]

Then why don't we just vote already? She admitted to it, it fits the evidence. Let's get on with her being executed already.
