altman ; ballroom (friday, post-trial)

[reunified]

[ Once everyone has been moved to the ballroom for dinner, Altman stands up and clears his throat. He's still not quite out of his shock, and having already fortified himself with a quick, large, glass of wine he's speaking a little slowly. ]

I realize some things about me came up during the trial that seemed... weird or concerning. It's a complicated situation to explain, but I'm not a hazard to people around me. I just wanted to get that out there, since I know at least a couple of people--

[ He sighs and rubs his face. ]

I drew some weird stuff in my room, and it was added to evidence. I'm sorry if it's creepy, so... Yeah. I'm not crazy. I'm not going to snap and kill anyone.

[ And he immediately sits back down and pours himself more wine. ]

While your assurances are preferable to an exhibition of mad cackling, you'll understand if we retain a healthy portion of doubt.

At this rate, I'm not sure I shan't go mad and kill someone eventually. ...Perhaps the Hostess.

[Susan's normally barbed tongue is dulled somewhat by her exhausted tone.]

[reunified]

If I snap, the most likely victim will be myself. Unless one of you stands up and tells me you're responsible for the kidnapping of my girlfiend, I'd probably just cut my own throat in my bedroom.

[inthebones]

...I wonder if that isn't what they're aiming for. Despair can be as powerful a motivation as any.

[She glances at him with a shake of her head.]

But I intend to make it home. If only out of spite - which, incidentally, can also be a strong motivator. I should hope the same for you, but... perhaps you should see about going to someone else's home, instead. It could be possible.

[reunified]

I have family back home. A significant other. If I survive, I couldn't just leave them behind.

[inthebones]

...If you already have a motivation, then hold onto it as fast as you can. I'm not going to say that it will see you through all your troubles, but at the very least, we must all have something to hope for.

[Yuzu can only cringe. Wrong again, only this time at least everyone else was smarter]

I... I'm sorry. I... thought I knew her, so...

[throe]

[ Rapture is on her second glass of wine already. She's just getting far too comfortable in being right about her hunches and these trials that she can hardly wait for the popularity rankings this week. For sure she has to be number one!

She holds her glass up, addressing him. ]

Your palm reading told me everything I needed to know! Not everyone is gifted with such foresight.

[speakveryclearly]

The people you love could be used against you, in this game, by the Hostess. Watch out for that.

[Kanaya remarks, almost but not quite involuntarily, some time after he mentions them to Susan.]
