WE ALL SEEK JUSTICE AND NOBODY IS OKAY

[Another murder, another investigation, another trial, another execution. Unlike last time, it wasn't self-defense, and although they caught him, she's pretty sure nobody is happy. It was sentencing someone to death, after all.

Knowing that, Dlanor writes something on the back of profiles she took from the bulletin board, passing them under the doors. When in a hurry, use what you have, and those profiles will be back sooner or later, anyway]


Please come to the train station. Let's spend some time in each other's company, for our sake


[If you decide to come, you'll find whoever wrote that note has been working hard to make things somewhat nice. There's a few...whatever we all have been using as cups all this time...filled with milk -- evaporated milk with some water, it seems. Tastes almost like normal milk. Dlanor also brought a few twigs and a small piece of log from the sawmull, and seems to be currently trying to make a fire. Some warmth should be nice, right?

Come on, everyone, let's sit around this bunch of wood and strengthten our bonds]

[Twilight comes of course, though she brings with her a notebook for writing in from her cabin. She's very subdued, though not in the state of shock she'd been the last time they had to do this. As she moves to find a place to lay down near the fire, she'll carefully lift a log or two with her magic to help Dlanor.

Twilight has a few specific people she wants to speak to, but for now she's quiet on her own as she writes...she'll speak to anyone who comes to talk with her, though.]

[The Narrator is here, sort of.

He is actually standing a good distance away from the party, still in eyesight but very clearly not actively participating in it. He knew people would be angry at him and, well, maybe it won't be a bad idea to become a bystander again.

Perhaps the most thing that seems off about him as a ghost is he is now completely monochrome, almost like someone from a black and white TV set.

And, if you watch closely, he flickers strangely every now and again in the shade. It's only for a few seconds at a time, but it doesn't seem entirely normal there.

But he won't be making any efforts to talk to anyone at this party, so if you want him you'll have to go to him yourself.

[Twilight waits for some time before she approaches the Narrator herself. Mostly to give herself time to think of what to say, and others time to come to him sooner if they feel compelled to. When she approaches, she isn't angry. If anything, she's more hesitant than anything else.]

Mr. Narrator. Can I talk to you?

[It doesn't take long for Raven to approach him once she sees him there. She didn't want to say this at the trial, when Mae was right there, but there are a few things she wants to bring up.

But, first:]


How are you feeling?

[He is certainly surprised to see Twilight approach him, but what the heck.]

You may.
onlyexplainit: (As vast as space)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He flickers briefly.]

As good as I can, I suppose. I knew what I was getting into, and I accepted my end. It's the most I could ask for in a situation like this.

[She takes a breath, holds it, then lets it out slowly before she speaks.]

I wanted to apologize. I'm sorry for just...assuming you had done what you did to protect only yourself. It was wrong for me to think that way.

[She'd been quick to believe him when he insinuated he didn't care about the people of The Twilight Zone, after all.]

[personal profile] hydrazine 2018-04-22 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[A pause.]

Do you realize you're kind of... flickering? The others haven't done that, as far as I've noticed.
onlyexplainit: (This is the dimension of imagination)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing you need to apologize for, Twilight. I asked you to figure out what my motive was and you merely gave a suggestion. I have no reason to hold any hard feelings for that.

[Watson can't find it in himself to be mad at someone who willingly did something horrible, to prevent others from doing the same or from losing their loved ones. Even if he doesn't fully agree with what the Narrator did, Watson will still be making a conscious effort to speak with him.]

How's being dead treating you, so far?

[There's not a lot of small talk options for a ghost, and its not like the Narrator is scandalized by blunt morbidity.]
onlyexplainit: (And it lies between the pit of man's)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks at his hands.]

I am aware, yes.

... I think I know why I'm doing this.

Is it something you want to talk about, or is it a secret of yours?
onlyexplainit: (And as timeless as infinity)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I am simply observing, right now. I figured that you didn't desire my presence after your reaction during my trial.
pegathesis: (13)

[personal profile] pegathesis 2018-04-22 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I...I guess so, but...I still felt bad about it.

[Like Raven, there were things she didn't want to say during the trial with Mae present to hear them.]

You didn't kill Angus out of malice. I still don't think it was the right thing to do, but...I guess...thank you, not for what you did, but for thinking of us. We'll never know for sure if the Mayor is lying, but if he's not...you saved all of our worlds.
onlyexplainit: (And it lies between the pit of man's)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.]

I was right, not missing food one bit.

Hi, Dlanor.

[Twilight puts another stick on the fire for her.]

Thanks for setting this up. I think we all needed it.
onlyexplainit: (This is the dimension of imagination)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's not so much a secret but...

I'm not sure you would enjoy the answer.
hydrazine: (pic#11535020)

[personal profile] hydrazine 2018-04-22 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really enjoy anything about this situation, so that's not exactly surprising. Besides, I'm curious.
onlyexplainit: (Between light and shadow)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't blame you for not agreeing with my actions. I am personally against murder in almost every circumstance.

... And, while I am not fond that I was pushed to that, I suppose it's "better" for two people to die for nothing than millions of people to die because I refused to believe.
onlyexplainit: (Between light and shadow)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
... It's a bit harder to control my true form in the darkness, it seems.
hydrazine: (pic#11535030)

[personal profile] hydrazine 2018-04-22 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Your true form, meaning...?
pegathesis: (2017-05-30 (413))

[personal profile] pegathesis 2018-04-22 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
No, I...I understand. I guess when you think about it...you and Angus are still here, sort of. Just...you know.

[Not corporeal.]
