THIRD TRIAL

[Ashley Blair, the SHSL Witch-in-Training, is dead. She's had her life snuffed out, but how and why? It's a murder both mysterious and menacing.

Portraits of Betrayus and Ashley, depicted in monochrome coloring, stand at their podiums. But more importantly, the courtroom this time is an exact and functional replica of the Eggman Factory. If only for the evidence they'll never be able to move...

Will they be able to use this evidence to find the truth? Or will the culprit's confusing conundrum get the best of them?

10 students remain.]



[Let the class trial in the murder of Ashley Blair...begin.]

I killed people, you know. That Rube Goldberg machine I mentioned? I controlled it with some abilities I gained after my death. I killed a mother of a young child. And everyone that was involved in my "death", I killed.

[He stares at Alastor, his expression cold.]

If I had told you that, yesterday, would you have extended a hand of friendship to me, then? I bet the answer would be "no".

I'm a terrible person. There's no getting around it. I wasn't just hiding the fact I was dead. I was also hiding the fact that my hands are stained red.

No one would trust a murderer.

Ah've killed so many folks in the wars Ah lost count. Nobody hated me for sayin' that.
theothersissel: (and it's what i hate the most)

[personal profile] theothersissel 2015-10-25 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but that's war. These were personal. I murdered innocent people who had no chance to defend themselves.

["just hate me, just hate me, you know you hate me", he almost seems to be saying".]

It felt good, at the time. But that doesn't change the fact that I did it entirely out of spite.
superstylishschism: (Sorry but you're not funny.)

[personal profile] superstylishschism 2015-10-25 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
And mine aren't? Do you know what my name means, Yomiel? "Alastor", Greek for "one who avenges." A demons name is its purpose and its nature. I was created as a tool of vengeance, nothing more and nothing less. I've killed people I didn't even know, because they offended my creator.

And did you forget what I said yesterday? The only reason I didn't kill Joe, Silvia, Blue Jr....that's because my boss interrupted right as I was trying to strike the killing blow against Joe. The other two, I nearly crushed because I wasn't even paying attention to them anymore.

My hands are stained with the blood of two-thousand three-hundred years' worth of living as a devil, and you think I'm going to judge you for taking bloody revenge against the people involved in your death?
theothersissel: (know's not where he's going to)

[personal profile] theothersissel 2015-10-25 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, honestly, I thought you would. You're "redeemed". I'm not. Besides, those people I murdered? In all honesty, they were innocent. I wasn't even murdered. I was killed by a meteor. They just created the situation where I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I even killed a lady who was a young girl I took hostage on the day I died. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I blamed her for my death, too.

[He shakes his head.]

Just tell me you hate me. I know you do. I'm worse than you could ever possibly be.
superstylishschism: (Sorry but you're not funny.)

[personal profile] superstylishschism 2015-10-25 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm "redeemed" because I finally got my head out of my ass and realized I didn't have to be where I thought I was stuck. The fact that you expect us to hate you? It means you know what you did was wrong. If you think you deserve it, it means you feel guilty for acting out of spite and anger against people who couldn't have known their actions would lead to your death.

What you've done is no worse than what Tsukumo did. The only real difference is that you succeeded, when all of their would-be victims were lucky enough to notice the danger in time to avoid it. And they weren't even acting out of anger over being killed, they were just jealous.

Do you know what we did when we found out that the supposed accidents were caused by a vengeful spirit? When we had it too weak to keep trying to kill us, had it at our mercy?

...

Let me guess. You saved it with some stupid "power of love" speech or whatever.

[He may call it stupid, but he would like a speech like that, deep down...]
superstylishschism: (Can we not tlak about it?)

Previous should've been plural, oops.

[personal profile] superstylishschism 2015-10-25 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Teamwork, actually.

But the point is, we forgave them. We were the ones it tried to kill, but we didn't hate them for being angry, or even for taking their anger too far. We accepted that they had made mistakes and we reached out to them anyway.

Because that's what decent people do when faced with someone who lashed out because they were hurting. We don't hold it against them and give them more to resent, we try to help them heal.

[His mouth twists into a kind of...weirdly regretful expression.]

...

I didn't think that would happen. I just assumed...I just assumed you'd think I'm a monster.
superstylishschism: (I don't know what to make of it.)

[personal profile] superstylishschism 2015-10-25 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Real monsters don't care if people hate them, they don't even understand why people care who else they hurt.

[He shakes his head.]

You're not a monster, you're just an idiot.
theothersissel: (making all his nowhere plans)

[personal profile] theothersissel 2015-10-25 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs, as if he doesn't have a single care in the world.]

Good to know.
chaoscontrol: (you bitch)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2015-10-25 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You're wrong. You're hardly the only person here with blood on your hands, you damned fool. And we all had our reasons. Some noble, some not so much. But I meant what I said on Tuesday; anyone who went for this motive is a moron.
theothersissel: (making all his nowhere plans)

[personal profile] theothersissel 2015-10-25 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Like I said, I did this because I knew that eventually, I would get caught. What's happening right now, that's what I want. The motive was just a stupid excuse for what I did, in the end.

I mean, if I succeeded and I survived, I wouldn't have said no, but...well, I'm not exactly going against my fate here, am I?
chaoscontrol: (do you ever shut up?)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2015-10-25 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
If you just waned to die, why didn't you just kill yourself? Save us all the trouble of your sad, pathetic story. Tch. Go to your death quietly.
theothersissel: (making all his nowhere plans)

[personal profile] theothersissel 2015-10-25 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I wanted to leave it up to fate. I was okay with what happened, either way.

But whatever. Reasons, no reasons, I'm the guilty one. That's just how it is.
chaoscontrol: (coming of chaos)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2015-10-25 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
What part of "quietly" did you not understand? I don't want to hear any more of your self-pitying bullshit.
theothersissel: (time for giving up the ghost)

[personal profile] theothersissel 2015-10-25 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just grins wide.]

Aw, why? Does it bother you?
chaoscontrol: (do you ever shut up?)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2015-10-25 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Your pathetic excuses for how much you hate yourself piss me off. If it's you that you loathe, then do something about it. Don't drag others into this. Especially not children. I will never understand people like you.
theothersissel: (he's a real nowhere man)

[personal profile] theothersissel 2015-10-25 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks at his nails, as if he's far more interested in what's underneath them then what Shadow is saying.]

The more you try to lecture me, the less I'll try to listen, you know? There's no point. What you'll tell me won't even matter. I'll be dead and out of your hair.

Don't waste words, really. Else I'll think you're the stupid one.
chaoscontrol: (never turn back)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2015-10-25 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yomiel is right about that, at least. He's not going to hear anything that doesn't support his twisted world view, so why should Shadow waste words? They'll only fall on deaf ears.

A pathetic, weak human will meet a pathetic end. His hatred for the human race may have been artificially created, but he can see, logically, why that hate exists
