Third Trial

[You get a little time after your investigation is over, but not too long. Your Overseer is right there, after all, and he can tell when you're finished.

Xander will lead you all out the door near Fourt's, opening what had been impenetrable sheet metal with a few taps and swipes on his tablet. This won't take you outside either; instead, it leads to a long hallway. Like a walk-through aquarium, the walls and ceiling are all made of thick glass, giving you an even better view of the stars outside. There's no sign that the mall is attached to some kind of large-scale station. There's really not going to be an easy way to escape here, unless you get transportation.

You're led to a wide-open area, empty except for a circle of podiums in its center. They're labeled so you can easily find yours. Soma and Togami's grey-scale portraits have joined the three ladies' portraits this time in the places they previously stood. Three of the podiums remain empty and nameless. The walls here are equally transparent, and they seem to have lines of large hatches going along them, as if this is where one might park one's spaceship when going on a fun space mall adventure. Shame you don't know anything about those.

You already know what you're here to do. You'd best be getting along with it.]

And we were together for a while... I knew he wasn't acting right. I should have...

Is there any reason he had to suspect you, or, like, that you wouldn't believe him, or something...?

What do you mean he wasn't acting right?

[Mmmm hey Church I'm sorry.]

How dare you! I loved him!! He knew... I would have done anything he asked! Anything!!

[...]

...he was anxious. He wasn't composed like he usually is.

[Haaaaands up.] I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just--asking, like, I dunno why he wouldn't tell you anything unless there was a reason for it.

But maybe...he knew? Maybe he knew whoever he was listening to knew. Maybe he was afraid someone was after him, but then, he wouldn't have left himself alone...

...oh sure. Probably because I'd fuck it up just... like I couldn't... keep him safe.

[Sorry she already blames herself for everything.]

I don't know. I... don't know! He... wouldn't have bothered trying to protect me. He knew... better than anyone... what I was capable of.

He already trusted you enough to even meet with you about it. I think he thought a lot better of you than that. Or at least pretended to.

Pre...

[She drops off her podium, enraged.]

Pretended?! How... how could you...

[...at least until she looks like she wants to start crying.]

He promised... when we got out of here... that... that I could... that I could stay by his side. He....

I don't know what he told you! I don't exactly get your relationship, cuz he always treated everyone like absolute shit.

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-03 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my God - Mister Church, please! We get it, you didn't like him and you think we're dumb for being sad - leave Touko alone!

[Has. Has Jane properly raised her voice to anyone before? Has she ever been angry at someone who wasn't Xander here?]

I'm not mad at her! I'm mad at her shitheel boyfriend! She could've done so much better!

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-03 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT!!
cyan_maid: (Oh my!!!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-03 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well...wait, if he knew...if he knew someone knew he knew, maybe...he was trying to keep you away from harm?

[She's grasping at straws but Touko we need you, you need to stay strong...]

If he thought you'd mess things up or that you're not worth protecting, then he was wrong.

Maybe he wanted to tell everyone at once? Why, though- ...I mean not discounting his ability to be dramatic.

Or maybe he wanted to tell everyone but someone in particular at once. After all, a good chunk of us were at the sleepover last night, weren't we? He could have just come in and told us--unless he was worried someone was still there.
