SECOND TRIAL

[whimsicalism]

How are we ever going to get the pond clean? It'll stink like lawyer for forever, Alice!

Be nice... We shouldn't say things like that, Alice.

Weren't you the one who were calling Franziska a wicked witch?

I'm sorry about it now, aren't I?! Just--it's time for a trial, everyone!

[As you climb back into the teacup to descend to the court room once more, the tea cup doesn't respond if anyone tries to go to any other floors. As you walk up to the podiums the amount of crossed out portraits has increased. How many more will die before the tricky game the Alices want is over?

At least the Alices seem relatively calm. The Queen, anyway. The Cat is in her Alice form, watching over the proceedings with a hungry look in her eyes.]

Franziska von Karma is dead. Do try to find out who did it but not too quickly. I'll get bored~

[He knows he's not talking to him, but his words are so damn familiar that-]

Yeah, tried that. It just makes you miserable. Would make these trials easier though.

[Is that a for or against? he has no gd idea]

[...he just shook his head.]

I'll just be miserable anyway. First Cori. Then both Franziska and Manaka at once.

Everyone I care about here dies.

... there's a chance I won't even remember that it happened before too long. So might as well share it. I lost my best friend suddenly when I was younger. Decided that if I never let myself get close to anyone again I'd never have to feel like that again.

So if you go that way you're gonna grow up into me. You don't want that.

[seventhlittlemonster]

[...Hm. He can't actually argue against that.]

...I still care about my family, I still have friends where I live, they... They aren't here. They're safe... [are they...?]

[scratchitti]

Just keep it in mind.

[He opened his mouth to say something, but... he choked up.

He WANTED to care about the people here. But... it wasn't safe... for anyone...]
