It wasn't an unexpected result. At the moment of his reveal, there was little chance of convincing them otherwise, and even if he weren't the killer he would die anyway, at the hands of the rules. But that didn't stop his smile; a grin that pervaded throughout everything, only dulled slightly at Ice's ugly display of attempted revenge. Through the stunned silence of everyone in the court, broken momentarily only by Bliss's strained questioning, several, consecutive, dull thuds echoed around the room. Even without looking, with some Infinite's eyes drawn to other matters, it was plainly obvious from where the sound originated. Erin stood, head upturned, sneering, clapping condescendingly at his fellow Infinites, the sound reverberating, almost palpable, refracting off the hollow and pyrrhic victory. [colour=SlateGray]"Well would you look at that! You go girl!"[/colour] he started clapping harder, directed at Jez, [colour=SlateGray]"My, that's exactly right! To think my plan would be foiled by a clown, now that [i]is[/i] precious~"[/colour] he slid his hands back into his pockets, and for the first obvious time, his grin sunk, just by a small amount, [colour=SlateGray]"My talent? Fake? Why, little missy, that is certainly rich from an overpaid, over zealous, side show act. Are you even hearing this, guys~? A children's entertainer is accusing moi, the man who hid from the Infinity Initiative for 12 years, of having a fake talent~!"[/colour] He giggled to himself, seemingly entertained by his own joke, before tilting his head to face Bliss. [colour=SlateGray]"A reason~? Why, Ice said it immediately!"[/colour] his gaze lowered, until his face darkened and his sneer grew into a cruel and twisted smile, [colour=SlateGray]"My identity is [i]much[/i] more important than the lives of every single one of you. I mean, really~! I posed as a Web Developer for... God, I cant even remember how long, and tricked our little Infinity Initiative into giving me one of their pretty little titles; you really think any of your talents I couldn't impersonate~? Not that I'd want to, the majority of you are dull as anything, but I suppose Cyrus would be fun to play as~!"[/colour] [colour=SlateGray]"Mary, your feelings don't matter; Alice, any colder of a glare and I might get frostbite; Max, how scary, I suppose you'll get your wish~!"[/colour] he rattled off in quick succession, like a tired TV Host reading off the plethora of ridiculous and stupid viewer messages. When he got around to Cyrus, though, his grin grew a degree larger, resulting in a painful looking smile, complimented by his eyes to give off a truly unsettling aura. [colour=SlateGray]"A sore loser~? My, my, darling, I haven't lost at all!"[/colour] and with the cryptic message, he turned his gaze onto the mess that was Ice and Calvin in front of him, [colour=SlateGray]"Now then, what a sorry sight this is. Honestly, you two getting all rough and wet, I'm feeling left out~! But if I could have everyone's attention, I'd like to tell you all a story. It wont take long, I promise. See, Elsa here talked about all his long lost siblings, and how he never found them. The funny thing with that is - He never will~! We sold them both off into the sex trade years ago, I'd be surprised if they're even still alive. Constant sexual abuse does that to people. So, we made a bit of bank of the siblings, murdered the parents for not paying us, and slaughtered the brother for all he was worth."[/colour] he glare turned deathly cold, the swirl of darkness inside rupturing forth into an aura of madness. [colour=SlateGray]"You should have heard the way he screamed for his big brother~!"[/colour] and with that, his hands raised from his pockets, and placed a finger over his lips, [colour=SlateGray]"Now then, yes, how best to end this all..."[/colour] he pondered for a few seconds, before clapping his hands together in epiphany, [colour=SlateGray]"Oh, yes, that reminds me~! Monokuuuuuumaaaaaa~?"[/colour] He directed his smile towards the two toned bear, and placed his hands behind his back, like a child begging for candy. [colour=SlateGray]"I know I insulted Davis's dead bae and all, buuuuuut I sure hope you haven't forgotten your own rules~? Violence against another patient inside the court is strictly prohibited! Did you not [i]see[/i] the savagery that just happened~!? Ice shoved Calvin out the way with such ferocity, he struck his head upon the ground, and then Calvin with all his might threw Ice down - in a fit of passion, might I add~? Surely these count as acts of violence~?"[/colour] [colour=SlateGray]"And if they do, I implore that you execute them for their blatant disregard of your Kingdom's laws~! The death of friends is such a great vector for despair, no~? And even if that's not what you want, I think this will help you reach the Conquest you so seek, Davis Gallo~"[/colour]
