trial 4; baby, it's cold inside

WHO KILLED CHRISTMAS?

Starshine and Brasco assemble everyone in the room. The room is extra foreboding and cold after the events of last week, and the raw egg evidence as well as Rider's body have been preserved in the room, so tread carefully.

Starshine slams down the paper for this week with all the suspects and laughs, turning to Brasco and gesturing wildly, pointing at him. "J'accuse, Brasco! This whole time, we've been pointing figures at each other but there was one man we never pointed at. And it's you! And actually, all the rest of the people on this list, too." She looks back at the list and taps it gently, "Oh, yeah, one other thing, I need you to write two names on your paper. Assuming you actually vote, unlike you abstainers," she says it the way someone in the 1950s might say communists. "I deduced that two people definitely killed the two dead people, so have fun with that." She claps her hands, "get to it, my minions!"

...Remember when we talked about being feared and loved or whatever.

[thedifferencebetween]

Yeah, different context.

[acherontiastyx]

I don't know, man. I think you're still failing in some way if I come out of this thinking you're kind of pathetic.

[thedifferencebetween]

I've had a really rough week, buddy! Not exactly at my best, here.

[acherontiastyx]

Well, yeah. And I know what I'm like when I'm not at my best.

[thedifferencebetween]

You ever lost a kid?

[acherontiastyx]

I'm in my early twenties and I've barely had romantic relationships.

I think I'd probably be worse there, though.

[thedifferencebetween]

That's my point. It breaks a person. Don't judge me for how I am this week. My daughter's all I have. Had. I lost everything and I'm staring at a guilty vote. Nobody's okay at that point.
