DECEMBER EVENT PART THREE: WITH THE DAWN OF REDEEMING GRACE
[the voice from the imaginary loudspeaker resounds again.]
I do believe that’s the best you all can do. Hopefully it will be enough… Gather in the lobby at your earliest convenience. There, you will find an elevator. It will take you to your next location. [pause] Mind the severed heads.
[the elevator they find in the lobby is not one that had been there before: it is strange, a bit too large and industrial for what is generally a Victorian manor. nothing will compel them to board it, but… hey. if you stay behind, you miss out on all the fun, right?
and the fun starts here. because, as soon as they board the elevator, and the door closes, it drops.
not that far. not enough to harm. certainly enough to startle, especially after it evens out, before plunging a few more feet. the effect likely wears off after the fifth time it does this.
eventually, the elevator stops completely, and opens to a large, mostly empty room. in the center is a large circular stage, ringed with enough podiums for everyone that went on the excursion - living and dead. some of the podiums are covered in white sheets; one might notice that the number of dead corresponds directly to the number of covered podiums.
the Captain is present, of course. he sits on a raised throne separate from the circle, dressed in a suit a tiny bit different than his normal one. he sits with one leg crossed over the other, looking down at them with a completely neutral expression.]
You may take your places. [he gestures magnanimously, then holds up his hand; please reserve the expected freakouts for after his announcements, thanks.] The game is very simple. You have the evidence; put it together, and decide on the guilty party. Only a unanimous decision will bring you the justice you seek. [a faint smile] The one you always seek, at least.
[another gesture]
Questions. Comments. Threats against my life. Concerns.

Only for a brief flicker, still expressionless, and then her gaze falls again.
no subject
After earlier— yeah, she catches that look.
She seriously considers asking Dedue what she told him, just to be sure how this is being confirmed, but for once she finds her tongue tied. She tries to just let herself have the relief.
no subject
Erin takes out a sheathed knife and gently tosses it to Dedue. "You've got a good arm. Care to demonstrate what you saw for the people? It's best if evidence is clear."
no subject
no subject
An impact. The knife strikes a pale green field of force and deflects off it (Erin catches the hilt before a ricochet can take out an eye or some shit, can you imagine?). After a moment she holds it up to show that it's unharmed.
no subject
She still doesn't (wont, can't) look directly at Erin.
