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.

It's easier to talk about anything but me, really.

[nosdacariad]

I don't think talking about me will really help any.

[witchwoman]

I think you keep too much bottled up. And I know that I'm guilty of it too- especially now... I suppose I just feel useful when I can listen and try to help someone else.

[nosdacariad]

The only person who can really help me is myself, unfortunately. But I appreciate it.

[witchwoman]

[She leans against him a little.] I think that's how most things work. It's a shame it's so difficult to help yourself sometimes.

[nosdacariad]

I have to believe that it'll get easier. Eventually.

[witchwoman]

It's strange, isn't it? It wasn't too long ago that I was trying to convince everyone that it would be easier one day, that things will look up.

[nosdacariad]

Nobody can be the optimistic one one hundred percent of the time.

[witchwoman]

Perhaps not. [Doesn't mean she won't try. Except now she's thinking about all her worries and fears.] It just... it feels like it's always something new, always something darker pulling at us. And even if it's better later, easier somehow... I'm not certain if things will ever be the same.

[nosdacariad]

They won't be. [ he says it simply, although there's no melancholy in that. it's just a statement of fact. ] That doesn't have to be a bad thing.

[witchwoman]

I don't see how any of this can be considered good, Mark...

[nosdacariad]

Yeah, well I'm still working on that part.

[witchwoman]

You'll let me know if you sort it out, won't you? [She manages a very small smile]

[nosdacariad]

Promise. [ and he'll plant a kiss on top of her head ]

[witchwoman]

[Her eyes close briefly.]

Good. I'll hold you to it.
