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.

Well, you seem to have gotten the hang of it now. [She is v v proud okay.] And I'm sure in time you'll be able to do it without even thinking.

[notaroundme]

That's the plan. Hopefully I can do it more often soon, too, just in case I need to.

[Right now, even once a day is...tiring.]

[witchwoman]

What does it feel like?

[notaroundme]

Once I'm done? It feels pretty normal. Major height changes and, well, being a guy is weirder. And I haven't tried anything that doesn't appear human.

The actual changing part is the...least fun part.

[witchwoman]

I wonder if you could turn into a flywacket like Amaranth... [Look she is just thinking out loud here.] How long can you hold it?

[notaroundme]

I don't think so...it has to be roughly my shape and size.

[And Amaranth is like a...beast/cat thing?]

Once I've changed it's sort of 'me' until I decide to change again, though going back to the 'me' I'm used to is easy in comparison.

[Her body just kind of...knows it.]

[witchwoman]

So you could... change forever, if you wanted to? [That concept is so foreign to her. Also it would have been so fucking useful to her in her old life. Jealoussssss.]

Elena, that's amazing.

[notaroundme]

[She nods.]

If I needed to? Yeah, I think so.

[She smiles, but this time it's a little bashful.]

Thanks, Myri. I'm...really glad you think so.

[witchwoman]

Well of course I do! What other knight can say that she has a squire who can become anyone she wants... and mean it!

[notaroundme]

Well, I think there's only ever been a couple other like me in the knights ever, so I think you're the only one that holds that title right now.

[She winks, chuckling.]

[witchwoman]

What I have right now is the most amazing squire I could have ever hoped for. I'm so proud of you. I hope you know that.

[notaroundme]

[And now you get a hug, Myri. From...yourself. Only not.]

Don't worry. I know.

[If there's one person that she never thought would judge her for any of this, it's her.]

[witchwoman]

[Elena hugs are the best hugs, okay. Myri squeezes the girl before releasing.]

Good. And I can't wait to make sure everyone else knows when we get back to the castle for your promotion.
