[A pause.]

Is that such a bad thing?

[selfimmolates]

Well, I guess it depends on what you consider the ideal outcome of the trial to be.

For some, it'd be to minimize the number of deaths, in which case it's a good things. For others, it might be to catch all of the murderers, in which case not.

So, it's a matter of perspective.

[requiemed]

I’ve never been a huge fan of the death penalty.

[A beat.]

Even monsters don’t always deserve to die.

[selfimmolates]

[the amount of empathy ray has for that last comment is approximately zero, but he won't judge her for it either.]

I'm starting to see why you're with Love.

[requiemed]

[A pause.]

That’s not why I’m with Love.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah?

[it's said with a certain noncommital-ness, so that she doesn't have to feel obliged to answer.]

[requiemed]

[A pause, while she weighs just how much she does want to say, before:]

It wasn’t for myself at all.

[It’s said with a certain forlorn tone... But then, just as quickly, she moves on.]

I talked to Indulgence, by the way.

[selfimmolates]

Same here. [though the thread hasn't gotten far yet so] How'd it go?

[requiemed]

He told me it counted as a task if I drank a glass of wine he kept trying to offer me.

[Incredibly deadpan.]

[selfimmolates]

... Seriously?

[requiemed]

We should have immediately stopped trying to talk to him.

[selfimmolates]

Oh, I was warned he was a lot, so I was kind of expecting that kind of stuff. It's a little amusing to hear about, though.

Did you do it?

[requiemed]

I have no regrets.

[take that as you will.]

[selfimmolates]

Should I be concerned?

[requiemed]

This is probably the best excuse for underage drinking I can imagine.

[oh my god]

It was just one glass.

[selfimmolates]

As long as you're not drunk, I guess.

[zoe...]

So, did he reward you?

[requiemed]

Yeah, he did.

[but the thread isn’t finished so it remains to be seen what that reward is, rip!!]

[selfimmolates]

With what?

[waits here]

[requiemed]

[Finally slides back in here—]

I’ll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anybody else, okay?

[selfimmolates]

Promise.

[requiemed]

They gave me a pair of glasses that’ll let me see whether a piece of evidence is real, or if it was planted by someone in Ambition.

[selfimmolates]

[huh.]

That's... pretty useful, unless no one ever uses Blame Game again. You seriously just had to drink for that?

[requiemed]

I’m not going to question it that much. I don’t think he’s the type to lie about something like that. Anyways, I think it was probably easier because he said it’s a one time use kind of thing.

[selfimmolates]

One time as in entirely, or after you actually find fake evidence?

[requiemed]

I didn’t ask, but I’d guess that it’s one time total, regardless of whether the evidence is real or not.
