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.

She doesn't wait for the rest, but begins moving toward Skulduggery, her mind spinning. Ari wouldn't get it. Nobunaga might not either. But for the first time, she's thinking of choosing a side.
no subject
"How does literally executing him do shit? Oh, because then the Captain can get rid of the armor, and what? He's too pathetic to do it directly? Or he ~chooses not to~ so to prevent the Captain from just willynilly disposing of our literally cursed sentient shit? FUCK THAT!"
He's fired up.
no subject
The captain says there are rules, but if he's not making them, who is? None of it adds up.
no subject
[She's going slow so they both can keep up.]
So why is he insisting on doing it himself?
[It's obvious to her]
no subject
[He was going to say something INCREDIBLY sarcastic to Teyrey, about the ~ real gods ~ and fuck them too.]
To control the means of death?
Let's rewrite that. Can't we cut out the middle man, err, skeleton?
no subject
[She'd destroyed an entire city in hers, and hadn't she even expressed to Skulduggery her fears over what the Captain might do if Skul died?]
no subject
Don't!
[BRB LOADING UP HIS GUN. Oh that's right, he has his coil gun too! Okay, firing up the charges on it!]
