The Seventh Trial
Who: heroes (?)
When: Day 16, early morning
Where: the party zone
[Late in the night, the train jostles again. It feels like a Trial, but this time there's a strange, oppressive feeling in the air, and the call forth has changed. And yet it's a voice that's been heard before -- the resonant young man's voice that accompanied a military tent surrounded in white feathers.
What is a hero?
That tent is here now, imposing with its black flag and spatters of mud and blood, but the edges are tattered and the feathers strewn about are beginning to turn black. From them rises a smoke with a dark glow, sending a chill through anyone it touches.
As you enter the voice is raised again. Though still strong, it's no longer clear -- it sounds hoarse and a little distorted.]
What is your worth? What do you stand for? What... is the right thing to do?
What is Justice?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
My goal was to preempt that kind of turn.
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
...
It is not as if I don't understand your angle. But fundamentally I cannot agree with it.
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
But there's no point in saying so now. Are you all right?
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
[Amane will help him and Randy's not mad so--]
Are you?
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
[Killed someone you like? You're dating someone? This is new shit and you killed someone you're dating when you've never dated RUFUS??]
...Brother. Are you really fine with this?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
[It's not like protecting Rufus wasn't also a priority to him but... Protecting people is complicated and he's tired. He bites his tongue, he should have bitten his tongue long ago when he told Randy he was planning to.]
Yes. And I'm grateful that you are minimally harmed as well. It's about the only thing I'm happy for.
[So Rufus doesn't want to talk about emotions and he doesn't know how to make him or if he even should at this point.]
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
Rufus is in trouble again. Or he should be. One of these days he's going to figure out how not to be a jerk to Jusis but today apparently isn't one.
At least he's noticing it more.]
...I really am alright, Jusis. I'm not content with the way it went, but I've been prepared for worse. I think you're genuinely quite a bit more upset than I am.
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
[What more is there to say? He has no wish to impose his own upset if it turns out he's the only one... upset like this.]
Very well. My apologies for the trouble.
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
[Here have the warm but stern big brother voice.]
Keep your head high and have pride. I'm the one who ought to apologize.
Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME
I don't see why.
