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

[That was a bad time for Franziska.

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.]

[Shockingly, Dark Dream turns up here and sits next to her.]
littlebratziska: (baw miles they're being mean)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-17 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Without saying anything she moves directly over to lying with her head in Dark Dream's lap, still watching the movie.]
imozon: ([dd] Friend?)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-17 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Oh, okay, this is happening. She isn't complaining or anything, but she's not sure what to do in response. Set a hand on her shoulder? That seems reasonable.]
littlebratziska: (which was totally uncalled for)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-17 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[She watches the movie in silence for a long while before finally speaking.]

I'm sorry.
imozon: ([dd] Huh?)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-17 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[...she's not sure she would have been able to imagine what those words would sound like in Franziska's voice.]

For what?
littlebratziska: (which was totally uncalled for)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-17 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm... being stupid. There's... there's not time for this.
imozon: ([dd] Whoa)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-17 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay.

[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.
littlebratziska: (baw miles they're being mean)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-17 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[She pushes herself up and turn away from the tv enough to throw her arms around Dark Dream's neck and lay her head against her shoulder.]

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?
imozon: ([dd] Wait no)

[personal profile] imozon 2020-10-18 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[AAAAAAAH?

After a moment she kind of... awkwardly wraps arms around her.]


I thought you did really well...

Media Room;

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-18 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ He'll come into the room after peering his head in. ]

...There's something I wanted to ask you about.
littlebratziska: (really just look at her)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-18 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[It takes a couple seconds longer than normal but she manages to pull herself together and pull herself up to sitting again, turning to look behind her.]

What is it?
golden_king: (11)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-18 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's not really all that much hesitation before he'll respond. ]

...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...

We're supposed to be, but clearly we're not.

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.
golden_king: (38)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-18 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
That's...a little harsh, isn't it?

[ 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.
littlebratziska: (really just look at her)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Why would it be?

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.]
golden_king: (04)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
I already explained why.

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...?
littlebratziska: (Default)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-21 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see why they would get worse, especially with everything that just happened, but I'll remember you said it.

[honestly tho why is he making such a big deal of this it's not a big deal?]
golden_king: (19)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-21 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Gil had a hard time believing that such a thing happened mid-trial, but there had been stranger things that occurred. There was the other thing with the gremlins, but he had said his piece then (and that had been temporarily resolved, as well as sadly expected.) ]

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.

[personal profile] scratchitti 2020-10-18 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
... hey.

[He doesn't come into the room unless she wants to be alone, but he still wants to check in on her]
littlebratziska: (it's a family thing)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-18 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks back over the couch at him, looking... worn.]

Hi.
scratchitti: (Neutral)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2020-10-18 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Want company?
littlebratziska: (really just look at her)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-18 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She thinks, then nods a little.]

All right.
scratchitti: (At attention)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2020-10-18 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[he comes to sit]

...never heard of this one. It any good?
littlebratziska: (it's a family thing)

[personal profile] littlebratziska 2020-10-18 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
So far it is.

[She feels, and sounds, tired and drained, but at least watching movies is something she doesn't need to think about.]

The girl is trying to return a magical stone that got stolen by him to save her island from being destroyed.
