W0, POST TRIAL

[gatonina]

[the gray bunny will lead belph back to the new moon office, though this time, black shadows isn't seated behind the desk. they're standing near the window, and appear to be staring out of it, not moving.

they do turn to face belph when he enters, though.]

Belph. ...Expect there are questions.

[axilium]

You're not wrong. First off, can I please have some more alcohol, because I'm really going to freakin' need it in the coming weeks.

[gatonina]

[they reach into their sleeve void, and remove a bottle of wine after a moment of fiddling with it.]

Cup? Or not necessary?

[axilium]

You know what, I'll take a cup right now.

[gatonina]

[they reach into their sleeve, rummaging for several moments, before removing one cup and passing it over to him.]

[axilium]

... Thanks.

[he opens the bottle and pours some wine into the cup because damn does he need a drink.]

Out of curiosity, do you guys ever eat or drink?

[gatonina]

[their head tilts curiously to the side.]

Prefer not to in company. Other two may not mind.

[axilium]

[he takes a sip.]

Any particular reason you prefer not to?

[gatonina]

[they just... gesture at their hood, and the whole lack of face situation.]

[axilium]

Guess that might be a little awkward.

[...]

We're really stuck in another killing game, huh?

[gatonina]

...yes. Seems to be so. Our apologies.

Tried to avoid.

[axilium]

I kind of wish it'd at least been an actual murder that kicked this off, rather than a complete accident.

I'd get it if you can't answer, but how are we going to be compelled to kill from now on? Possession? Coercion? Freak accidents?

[gatonina]

Feels wrong to say, but- can agree. Do not want him to feel responsible for accident. Would prefer it to be intentional.

[but at that next question, they just sort of- shrug, and shake their head. nope. cannot answer.]

[axilium]

Great.

Any chance you can fix the portal and get us all out of here before we have to kill again?

[gatonina]

...unlikely. Apologies.

[axilium]

It's fine, I wasn't getting my hopes up anyway.

I'm guessing you can't tell us what the punishment for revealing our powers is, either.

[gatonina]

Can only say what Winter Wizard has already said.

[axilium]

Figures. Is there anything new you are allowed to say?

[gatonina]

...no. Do not believe so.

[axilium]

Right...

Well, what about where you came from? You arrived here, so you weren't born here, right? Did you also come from some killing game?

[gatonina]

Have been here as long as I remember. Don't recall elsewhere. Has been a very long time.

[axilium]

Is Black Shadows actually your name, or is that just an alias?

[gatonina]

Has always been my name.

[axilium]

But you don't remember who gave it to you or anything? Sorry for the interrogation, I'm just curious.

[gatonina]

No. Only remember having it.

Do not need to apologize for asking.
