Week 2 Post-Trial
[ The trial itself may have been pretty straightforward, but with how high emotional tensions were running afterward, there's probably no one feeling like organizing any kind of gathering right now.
So, go do your thing until a new week starts, and write down those memories you don't want to forget. ]

Media Room
She's back in the Media Room, lying curled up in the couch with a bottle of orange soda on the ground next to her and watching Moana in all its VHS low quality glory.
It's a movie she's never heard of and she doesn't know how it was made but for now she needs to just not think and not remember, and sugar and Disney movies is probably the best she's got at the moment.
If anyone wants to join her feel free.]

I'm sorry.

[She kind of... squeezes her shoulder a little?
This is making her feel something unfamiliar that she doesn't like. Her heart hurts.]
I don't think we're in a hurry right now.
no subject
I'm sorry. I should be better. I will be. I promise I'll stop this, I... I won't stop unless they kill me too.
None of this is how any of this should be, nothing works and nothing's right. It's not a game, why is anyone talking about playing by the rules?
no subject
After a moment she kind of... awkwardly wraps arms around her.]
I thought you did really well...

Media Room;
...There's something I wanted to ask you about.
no subject
What is it?
no subject
...What were you thinking, when you struck him back in the trial?
That's what I want to know. I mean, since we're all supposed to be working together here...
no subject
And what I was thinking was that those who act like fools should be treated as fools as well, and punished accordingly.
He said this was a game. That's what the rules claim it is, but if two people die for it it's not a game, and simply because justice is not available is no reason to call unjust things justice.
Treating any of this like a game is only going to see more people die. Either he doesn't understand that or doesn't care, so I did my best to whip him into shape.
no subject
[ He'll look a bit sheepish at hearing her condemnation. ]
Don't worry, though. I think it's a good idea if we're not really married to the idea of following the orders of a terrible Queen, but...I don't think it was his intention to come off as treating it just like a 'game'?
Our hands have been kind of forced, I think, so when he mentioned that your concept of justice didn't matter in a 'game' like this; it's just that those two wouldn't really care about it.
[ Gilgamesh will then shift his expression to something thoughtful, though. ]
I really don't think he was being foolish, either, and I don't think your reaction was all that reasonable. He's been trying hard in his own way...just like you have. So, can you do me a favor and try not to hit him again? I'd prefer it if you and him and everyone else could start working together again, after all.
no subject
And that's what he said. I simply acted based on that.
Mm. We'll see. He didn't have to say anything to me, either.
[This is a battle that you are deeply unlikely to win, Gil.]
no subject
Mm...well, I get that's probably why things happened in the heat of the moment. But, now that it's over, I thought it'd be good to point out that it was more than something so simple minded and thoughtless.
[ There's another pause, as he's evaluating her response, and then he'll shrug. Even if the conversation ended with no one having nothing to say to each other, and it was bound not to be resolved, the two would encounter each other in the future. And an incident could happen again. ]
I just don't want things to get worse because people are hitting each other, if you can at least get why I'm worried...?
no subject
[honestly tho why is he making such a big deal of this it's not a big deal?]
no subject
Mm...well, actually, I'll be kind enough to explain to you why:
We just went through a trial where a misunderstanding got someone killed. And seeing people get violent after that isn't going to put people in a good mood. It could just make it possibly happen again!
That's all there is to it.
