Once everyone has placed their votes in, the trial finally comes to a close. The dream scenery fades from everyone's sight into the oblivion that comes with those sleeping, and the world of the waking materializes in front of everyone as they wake. The tablet beeps obnoxiously with the words urging them all to head to the Ballroom. Once they all gather into the ballroom, the irritating beeping noise stops and the doors close shut behind all of the participants. The room is much more than large enough to fit all the participants, considering so few of them are left, and yet it still feels claustrophobic, perhaps because the robots from Keenan's execution, the lions who executed Nepeta, and the small monsters that executed Leo, are still here.

...Although everyone will notice that Crow is already within the Ballroom before they even entered. Jesus Christ, is he armed?

Why wait? The time you have is limited. Why not tell me now?

[ Really, Crow. What does it matter if you say it all now when death is looming right around the corner? Not that he likes thinking about that but the blunt truth is there nonetheless. ]

A chance. A chance for what? What the hell are you getting out of gambling your life like this?

[He'll meet Vanitas' eyes right here.]

You see, I'm a pretty private guy and I don't want others listening in. [His gaze flickers over to Sheepy.]

...You'll know when it happens.

[ There's a minute moment there in which his gaze follows Crow's before turning back to him afterward. Exhaling a breath he wasn't sure when he'd been holding in, he nodded firmly in a sort of quiet assent.]

I'll just have to take your word for it. As long as it's interesting when it happens, I don't mind.

[ A pause and his expression seems to soften a bit. ]

...If you happen to see Conchita on the other side? Tell her i'm sorry for what happened to her and I intend to keep the promise I made to her.

[nevergraduating]

Heh. Well, here's to hoping there'll be a show on your end.

[There's another smile here, although there's a hint of resignation because man, he is sure there will be one hell of a greeting party when he gets there.]

...Yeah, I'll make sure to pass that on. Pretty sure she already has a few choice words in mind for me too, anyways.
