Everybody loves a media circus and the trial of Rafael Giovanni is no exception. If he was famous before, in the days following the shooting, now he's all people are talking about, and all the tabloids want to focus on. The complications presented at some of the early hearings by Jaka, regarding the identity of the Black Scourge and Rafael's alleged reaction have only made the story more appealing to the millions watching.

They've also caused the trial to drag out for months as facts are checked, evidence is poured over, and the jury becomes only more split on the issue. In the meantime, the holidays fly by, and one of the most terrible winters in years blankets Chicago in blizzards.

This log covers any work and non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in Chicago, immediately following the last log and continuing for the next couple months. This will be the Knight's last time in Chicago before the trial: after which they plan to return to the castle to fully Knight Violet and Elena and decide where to head next.

Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever.

Why would she marry me if she can't stand to be around me?

[graveflowers]

Right now. You said eventually. You guys can still have that.

[65]

Maybe. [he wants to believe it, but he can't get his hopes up too high, either.]

[graveflowers]

[ that was the extent of her ability to be useful. it was a good solid effort that died after three seconds. she's just tired and while she knows where finnick is coming from, she can barely focus on her own relationship, much less someone else's. which makes trying ten times harder, to the point where it's starting to physically hurt, figuring out what she's supposed to say to finnick and myri. ] It's messy right now. Don't make rash decisions.

Okay. [he won't ... unless it's to blow up his penthouse. (unsure) mostly because he feels too drained of energy to make decisions at all.] Thanks. [so she can feel like she helped — which she did, just by being there.]

[graveflowers]

No problemo, kemosabe. [ she ruffles his hair fondly. sometimes she forgets she's (technically) older because finnick has been there longer and he acts like a big brother with her. but every once and a while she can big sister him, too. ]

[he's just ... gonna sleep on her now. their brief, emotionally charged conversation was still too much for him. it's all too much. and sleep is nice.]

[graveflowers]

[ actual last person in the world to protest. she just snuggles up to do the same. ]
