Insane - DreamSMP AU

The Trial

Technoblade woke up in the main room of the community house. He sat up and looked around, Phil and Tommy were also there, laying on the couches opposite him. Today was the day that the 3 days of intense planning and people rushing in and out of the house for meetings and such led up to. The ultimate goal was to win over Dream himself, and make him willing to live, or at least try to. 

The first thing he and Tommy had done was read the books, and Technoblade was immediately given another trump card to add to the pile. The books were highly likely to be true, since Dream hadn't tried to leverage sympathy with them, and Technoblade thinks he has figured out Dream's goal in all of this. However, even with all of his advantages, he still cannot be confident in winning, Dream knows how to manipulate, and he even has a few points in his potential arguments, at least the ones that Technoblade can find.

But Technoblade will not back down when it comes to his friends, and he considers Dream to be one of them. He refuses to lose him without a fight.

Technoblade shook off his thought and went to wake the other two up.

DREAM POV

I was up all night, trying to plan today as best I could, I had already met with Quackity, who was the person who was going to be opposing 'me' in the trial. Now all I had to do was take my arguments and use them effectively against Techno. 

Let's go through this. I was a bit greedy giving Tommy the books, but the knowledge that they contain is to big not to leave as a gift. Unfortunately, they are most definitely going to use the books against me. Probably by showing everyone on the SMP.  But they don't contain everything, they only contain my past and what I am. I can counter that though, because no matter his arguments, at the end, even if he defeats all of my arguments, I am right, and that means I've already won. I just can't let them get caught up in sentimental sentiments.

I will win.

The courtroom was clean, too clean, it gave an air of perfection around it, which allowed the auras of the four that were facing off to be clearly perceived by the spectators. Quackity and Tommy's auras were directly opposite, Tommy being fiery with a hint of composure and Quackity's being timid and nervous. However, those two weren't getting a lot of attention compared to the other two.

Technoblade was wearing reading glasses over his serious expression with sharp eyes and a frown that could have been worn by a top business magnate. His outfit was outstandingly clean, a thin black vest over a white dress shirt on top of black dress pants and shoes. Tommy was mirroring his style with added slicked back hair and a maroon jacket over his dress. His expression could be described as either extremely determined or extremely mad... or both.

Dream was wearing jeans and his green hoodie, his eyes were closed and his mouth was a line so thin that at first glance one might not think he had one. Quackity was in similar style, though a bit more disheveled that Dream somehow, and with a blue hoodie instead of a green one.

An extreme air of seriousness surrounded Technoblade, to the point where even the viewers were affected by it, and became more intent in listening than they had. Meanwhile Dream gave out an air of derision, one that looked down at this whole affair as ridiculous, which it may well be.
