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.

I didn't know her. [ that's not really the point. ] You don't, though. You have all the others and being around me just hurts you, Myri, and I hate seeing you hurt. That's the last thing in the world that I want.

[witchwoman]

There's always going to be something that pulls at my gift. It's the nature of it. I've felt it since I was very small. And... yes, it's harder with you and the others. I'm closer to you. The connection is stronger somehow, but... If all it does is drive away the people I love, what sort of gift could that possibly be?

[graveflowers]

[ she shrugs, helpless. she wants to help, but she can't. because she can't really do anything right now. the idea of getting out of bed it a lot to handle, she can't even imagine herself in a fight if it came to it. even on her good days, they're not that good. ]

[Myri sighs and edges closer in the bed, as if to try to make that point that she doesn't want to put distance between them.]

If you want to go, I won't ask you to stay. But... don't leave for me. Don't leave because you think you're hurting me. Because the good of being near you far outweighs any bad.

[graveflowers]

[ another shrug. ] I don't know what I want to do.

[witchwoman]

That's fine. I'm not asking you to have the answers. I just don't want you to make a decision based on what you think is best for me.

[graveflowers]

[ she swirls her spoon around the melting ice cream absently before her head dips in a nod. ] Okay.

[witchwoman]

[Leaning over, she kisses Vi on the forehead. Deal with it.]

Do you want to watch something else?

[graveflowers]

Nah. I'll stick with the Cory and Topanga show.

[witchwoman]

Good. [That was the correct answer. Myri settles in for another episode. They can watch in silence. She knows that's what Vi would prefer.]
