w0, saturday, directly post-trial

[chromatized]

[ time is fake and so are holding cells or whatever we've managed to fashion with the puppets help(?) ]

... Hey.

[ this is off to a great start ]

[baori]

[ TIME DO BE FAKE. but anyway, the place where giyuu ends up isn't very nice. more on that next week, though. ]

So, you really did volunteer.

[chromatized]

[ wow can't believe they stuff giyuu in the ( redacted ) ]

I said I would. I try to keep my word.

[ ... ]

I'll be honest - I didn't really expect them to agree to this.

[baori]

[ yeah......... ]

Were you expecting something much worse?

[ ... ]

You all were coming up with interesting ideas of how to deal with me.

[chromatized]

I assumed they'd want to cut your hands off or kill you.

[ can't be a danger when you can't pick things up, for either reason ]

I'm not in favor of any of the other ideas either. Punishment is supposed to make people regret and reconsider what they're doing, right? And you-

[ definitely don't regret it. so what's the point? ]

[baori]

If they wanted to cut off my hands, then they might as well just kill me.

[ what's swordsman without any hands to wield a sword?? useless!!!! but he'll just complete the words that ludger doesn't. ]

No, I don't regret what I've done. If I were to regret it then it would be cowardly.

[chromatized]

[ see? ]

If you were in my shoes, what would you want to do?

[baori]

If you were the convicted?

[ surprisingly, it's an easy answer for him. ]

I wouldn't seek punishment for you. If you had done what I did, then I would see no reason for to.

[chromatized]

Not even if it kept our relationship with Sage and the others good?

[ or hell. maybe it would improve it. ]

[baori]

I see no reason why I should compromise what I believe in just to please someone else.

[ and this is why he's unpopular. ]

[chromatized]

... You have a lot of conviction, huh.

[ it reminds him of someone! ]

Are you worried about tomorrow?

[baori]

[ gee i wonder who that could be. ]

Whatever happens tomorrow will be what it is, but I don't have any intention of allowing myself to die.

[chromatized]

You might not have a choice.

[ me, staring naru directly in the eyes: :) ]

[baori]

[ looks right back at you. smiles. ]

Then it'll be what it is. I said I would accept whatever punishment that they decide for me.

[chromatized]

[ new fear unlocked ]

... I see. [ that Conviction, huh? ]

Where did you first run into Beryl, again? I know you said you fell asleep outside, and woke up there, but...

[ that was A Lie ]

[baori]

[ he'll say the same thing as before. ]

The lobby of the housing that we were given.

[chromatized]

How'd you end up on the fourth floor?

[ their murder zoomies.... ]

[baori]

[ ...straight forward, ain't it? ]

I followed him up there.

[chromatized]

All the way from the lobby.

[ somehow, it doesn't quite fit together, but it's not impossible either.

however... ]

... I guess it doesn't really matter, now. There wasn't anything else that was out of place besides the two of you?

[ yeah like Mysterious Glittering GOO or something. ]
