Geo, walking back from a job, comes across the crowd. “And what’s this about I wonder?”
English
-
“I have a monster to expose!” A man on a raised platform says.
-
“Oh this should be good.” [spoiler]Remind me, was I at Blaze’s wedding?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]No[/spoiler] “There is a monster hiding among us, and among our great heros.”
-
“Oh I swear to god if this is what I think it is.”
-
“The hero known as Blaze Lightningglove is....”
-
“It is.” Geo steps up next to him. “Oh, and your the one spilling secrets? How about I spill some of yours? You, who frequents a gambling den and swindles people of their money, using weighted dice a hidden cards? Or how you robbed that jewelry store a year ago?” [spoiler]Was the wedding a public thing or something? Kinda bummed I missed it.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]It wasn’t, don’t worry.[/spoiler] The man looks very confused. “I....didn’t, though?”
-
“Desperate to protect your own secrets are you, but no qualms about telling others? Would any of you in this crowd trust the words of a thief and a liar?”
-
“But I’m not! Are you a sympathizer to the demon known as Blaze?”
-
“You know who else called people demons? The people, on that giant spaceship who came here and threatened to destroy us all, that Blaze stopped? I’ll bet your even worse than a thief, but one of those people, desperate to spread misinformation! Would any of the people in the crowd trust the same man would tried to end them?”
-
“I’ve done nothing of the sort!”
-
“And how are we supposed to trust you? Because to me, you look like a nobody spewing forth lies.”
-
“I OFFICIATED HIS WEDDING!” The man yells.
-
“And how many times have you used that excuse? Oh, look at me, I’m a priest, I can’t do anything wrong. How original.”
-
“I....what would I have to gain by falsely accusing him?!”
-
“Like I said, you could be one of those people who tried to kill us. How beneficial do you think it would be for us to shun and exile him, and do your job for you? How are ANY of us, supposed to trust you?”
-
“BECAUSE HE RUINED MY LIFE!” He yells with very genuine pain.
-
“Because he destroyed your giant spaceship? Come on, I’ll take you back home so I can set you straight.” Geo grabs his arm and pulls him away.
-
“I don’t own a spaceship!” He fights back.
-
[spoiler]Sorry, had sports.[/spoiler] Geo whispers to him. “The sooner we get out of here, the sooner we can resolve this. Now are you coming, or do I have to drag your name through the mud some more?”
-
The man kicks at Geo. “Let go of me!”
-
Geo twists her leg away from the kick, and covers his mouth. “Don’t worry everyone, I’ll tackle him to the authorities. Whatever he says is a lie, remember that.”
-
The crowd....boos at Geo.
-
Geo drags the man away without letting him speak.
-
The crowd rushes Geo to get them off the man!
