Conversation Space III.

[powersthatbe]

A poured concrete floor and cinder block walls are lit by a single bare light bulb hanging overhead. Shackles dangle from brackets on every side, and the chair in the center of the room is clearly an electric chair. A tall glass sits on top of a stool made of what looks like pure gold - but the liquid inside it is almost definitely blood.

Comments

Justice smiles back at her. It's only a small smile, but it's definitely a smile. "We shall suit each other very well."

[mytearsaremine]

"That's better than not suiting very well, I bet. Is there anything else I should know? I'm not really even sure what else I should ask you, but you'd know what I ought to know, right?" Jolie asks.

[adastraea]

Justice nods. "I shall be giving you a gift," she says. "One I share with my most zealous sibling. It will aid you in my pursuit."

[mytearsaremine]

A gift? Jolie looks around, like it might be something she can see and collect. "What does it do?"

[adastraea]

"It will aid the righteous and cause the unjust to feel guilt."

[mytearsaremine]

"Well, that sounds good." If only she'd had that as a kid. "Okay. Okay, I guess I'm good." She squares her shoulders. "If what I have to do is do what's right, think smart, and look out for other people, I think I'll be okay."

[adastraea]

She smiles. "Go then, Jolie Ann Harmony, and do what is right in my name."

And Jolie will find herself back in liminal space.
