[At some point in the day, when Oda is alone, he'll find himself being faced with a very short deity. They barrel up to him, drapery flowing all around their body and mask. A wild tornado of color!]
[ from the extravagant clothing, oda guesses that she's a goddess. however, he has no idea if that's his goddess or someone else's...how can justice be a mere child? ]
[ there's a series of emotions that cross behind oda's near-expressionless face. at first, he feels a heavy pang of grief for the children that he failed to take care of. then, horror over the fact that this child is also participating this.
and, lastly, a deep, deep regret. she shouldn't have to deal with someone as twisted as him.
and yet, he stretches out his hand, which feels as heavy as lead to him, giving her a small shake. ]
Yeah. I'm Oda Sakunosuke. Odasaku, if you like nicknames.
[ oda's not sure if he'll be able to meet justice after the trial, but here he is, waiting in the same place that they met the first time. he's not sure if it's necessary for him to be here of all places or if they can come from wherever but...
[ the waiting is fine for a bit. it gives him time to think about today’s trial— about his actions and itachi’s, too. not only that, but the subject of julius’s fate is also eating away at his mind too.
needless to say, he’s relieved to see justice finally show up. he nods. ]
Yeah, I guess so. I just... don’t know what to do. About Julius.
Yes. I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but...it's just the first week, right? So there's gotta be a whole lot we can do if everyone just asks. And you're asking, right? So I'll let the others know that I'm in favor!
[Justice waves their arms up and down.]
I couldn't just stand around and let innocent people get hurt if I can help it. I...I really hate it when people get hurt!
[ he hesitates, thinking about his answer. he never really put thought into his surroundings or his opinions about it before, having decided to just trudge on with his life. first, an assassin. then, an errand boy for the mafia. now...
now he's nothing. a ghost, perhaps. ]
I was never scared, no. Not for myself. But it's a harsh world. Cruel.

WEEK 1
Excuse me? Hello!
no subject
[ from the extravagant clothing, oda guesses that she's a goddess. however, he has no idea if that's his goddess or someone else's...how can justice be a mere child? ]
no subject
It...it's really nice to meet you! I'm Justice! I wanted to come see you since I hadn't yet...I hope we can take good care of each other!
no subject

Yeah. I'm Oda Sakunosuke. Odasaku, if you like nicknames.
no subject
[Everything is fine and good and nobody has any reason to be sad or upset.]
I wanted to say thank you for choosing me. I thought nobody would want me.
no subject
Why would you think that?
no subject
[Justice places their hands on the sides of their cloth and mask enveloped head.]
Even before I had a mask on, the way I look would make people afraid of me.
no subject
[ he'll give her a small pat on the head. pat pat. ]
But I'm not afraid of you. I'm just...unsure if you'd want to associate with me.
[ look, the skills on the altar include killing??? why would she want to be with him??? ]
no subject
no subject
[ well he...doesn't want to disappoint her. so instead of saying why he feels that way, oda nods. ]
Then I won't let you down, Justice. 'Cause we're a team.
no subject
[Because it wouldn't be very just of anyone to break a promise.]
And you can trust me, too. Anything you need to know, I'll tell you the truth.
no subject
no subject
[ ;( ]
Is that okay? If I bother you, just let me know, okay?
(no subject)
post trial i GUESS
he leans against the wall, waiting. ]
no subject
Were you waiting for me out here? I could feel it.
no subject
needless to say, he’s relieved to see justice finally show up. he nods. ]
Yeah, I guess so. I just... don’t know what to do. About Julius.
no subject
[Justice pauses, but then approaches the rest of the way, stopping in front of Oda and clenching their fists in a stance of earnestness.]
Please don't worry too much! I think that everything will end up okay!
no subject
I’m sorry. I guess I just... can’t help but worry. After all, he was innocent— there must be something that I and the others can do.
no subject
[Justice waves their arms up and down.]
I couldn't just stand around and let innocent people get hurt if I can help it. I...I really hate it when people get hurt!
no subject
You're a lot kinder than I thought a deity of justice would be. But that's not bad, I think. [ a pause ] Thanks.

[Justice sags.]
But I understand. That's why I want to make a new one that isn't like that.
