What kind of game are you playing? He's back at the office! I just saw him a few hours ago!


[ WIDGET BLINKS RED AGGRESSIVELY!!!! ]

[thefaceofjustice]

Are you feeling okay, Ms. Lawyer? Nothing you're saying makes any sense. Prosecutor Blackquill has been here with me for weeks now.

[imfine222too]

He-


[ UGH TAKING ANOTHER STEP BACK ]


You just! Stay here. Don't move!

[thefaceofjustice]

Okay! I'll stand by. In justice we trust!

[imfine222too]

[ JUST. bookin it. ]

[thefaceofjustice]

...

[Sure! She can book it a step or two before a taser cranked to maximum voltage hits her back.]

[imfine222too]

[ truly, I follow in the brave, well-tased footsteps of my mentors before me ]

[thefaceofjustice]

[Shoves her unconscious body somewhere hidden before walking off. BE RIGHT BACK.]

[thefaceofjustice]

[Some time later, after pulling her back out, he's shaking her by the shoulder.]

Cykes-dono. Wake up.

[imfine222too]

................................................. ugh. S-Simon?

[imfine222too]

Simon!! [ SITTING UP!!!! ]


Listen, something's wrong ... !

[thefaceofjustice]

That much is clear. It's a good thing Taka led me over here. What happened?

[imfine222too]

The Phantom- he's here...! He's just walking around like he's not shot or arrested or anything!

I went looking for you, but- something happened...?

[thefaceofjustice]

--What?! That blackguard is HERE??? Are you sure?

[imfine222too]

Of course I'm sure!


[ SMACKS THE GROUND!! ]


He was dressed as that detective again, going on about justice! And he said you'd been here for weeks! I don't know what he's playing at, but it's obviously no good.

[thefaceofjustice]

[SLAMS THE GROUND EVEN HARDER]

Detective? Are you suggesting that that dullard Fool Bright is the phantom I've been searching for all these years??

[imfine222too]

............ Simon...


What are you saying?

[thefaceofjustice]

That imbecile Justice wouldn't tell me a thing about what happened after I evaded my execution. I need to hear how you came to this conclusion!

[imfine222too]

Evaded...? You're not making any sense! None of this makes sense! Simon Blackquill- you- were acquitted weeks ago!

[thefaceofjustice]

Cykes-dono, I'm a fugitive on the run. I maintained my guilt in court. The icy fingers of death were nearly around my neck, but I survived by coming here. Apparently some farce of an execution was staged in my absence, or so Justice claims.

Tch... [Looks off in the distance for a moment.] Can you stand? We should move while you give me your explanation.

[imfine222too]

(Fugitive? But that could only happen if I had...)



Yeah, I can stand. [ MUFFLED SOUNDS OF LAWYERS STANDING ]

[thefaceofjustice]

[Heading towards the theater!]

I will answer all of your questions, but first tell me everything you know about the Phantom, and what happened.

[imfine222too]

[ WELL THIS DOESN'T SEEM SKETCHY so she does so! Sooo much exposition about that time everyone found out the Phantom's true identity and it cured her PTSD and everything was fine. ]


But... I don't get it? That didn't happen to you?

[thefaceofjustice]

[He sure looks angry and shocked right now, doesn't he? Sure looks that way...]

Somehow, our experiences have diverged, but the facts remain the same. This entire year, I could have cut the Phantom down at any time, if only I had known...

[imfine222too]

[ but his heart... ]



Yeah, it makes you angry, right...?
