Madness Stands Before A Grand Jury

Wed Nov 08, 2023 9:30 pm

██████'s Judge And Jury

Minori stood from the chair she previously occupied, her gloved hands gently dancing around her own figure as she walked. The low sun left gentle rays traveling across the ground as she walked. It had been quite some time since the sun felt so good, ██████ thought. His own gaze tracing Minori's form before he looked back to the now setting sun.

The Wastes, despite having such a name, were his home for the foreseeable future he felt. Before that, America seemed to be his abode for the time he had been gone. Even though a majority of that time was spent to himself, ██████ spent it diligently finding himself. After all, his leave from the Vandenreich and his A.W.O.L. nature wasn't normal, especially for someone of his interest. Nevertheless, planting his palms against the thick skin of his knees, ██████ sighed and accepted the circumstances at hand.

"For a man of your... stature? You seem to be awfully annoyed with the thought of being around another person. You get that often?"

Her voice was gentle but also questioning in a sense. Minori seemed so focused on the minutia of his situation that she came off as disinterested. On the contrary, the woman was almost too focused on ██████'s life. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be here now. What was it that attracted her to the human world? What was it that ██████ brought to the table for the, for lack of a better phrase, mess of a woman she was? Her near ethereal form was near translucent as the sun finally reached beneath the nearby mountains.

"No. If it were my choice, you wouldn't be here. Unfortunately you're just another mess made by the mind. I've learned to accept it."

██████ was clearly upset. Looking to her direction and then back to the mountains he finally stood, grabbing the nearby bag and slinging it across his shoulder. Another night, another trek he thought. It was about time that ██████ found himself a new spot to hunker down for yet another day.

"That being said, I'll make the best of it this time. What is it you want?"

Positing the question, ██████ did his best to give Minori a chance. After all, his last visit with a hallucination wasn't the best.

"We'll figure that out when we need to. Now, how about it huh? Tell me about yourself, S█████."

With a cutesy smile and flick of her wrists, Minori fluttered her way to ██████'s side and pointed towards the setting sun.

"We have quite the time ahead of us, don't you think?"

"Where to start..."

And His Executioner
