A masochistic witch? (Pink Trigger's Power >299)

"You're actually a super-masochist, aren't you, Cornelia?"

"Wha-wha-wha?! Why do you think I'm a masochist, Inspector?!"

Cute reactions like that when I tease her is part of it, but I didn't say that. Instead, I clarified: I meant for the sake of our demonstration. It stands to reason, doesn't it? If you consider the power balance at play here, then the prosecutor has to be the more sadistic of the two, right? As such, it only makes sense to think of the witch- the defendant- as the masochist. I mean... if you were a sadist witch, I'd be a masochist prosecutor, right? Have you ever seen Gertrude or Dlanor show any behavior like that? No, right? So witches are masochists, angels are sadists. Get it?

Hm hm hm... Cower before my Pink Logic Pretzel, Cornelia!

"Please allow me to speak... That doesn't make any sense at all!"

Damn.

It took a bit longer than I liked, but finally, after great twisting of logic and reason, I managed to ensnare Cornelia and convince her that it made sense to play the part of a masochist witch standing trial. Of course, I knew all along that my clock in this game wasn't the onset of midnight... With this locale, it's likely the time until someone like Gertrude or Dlanor shows up and sees me picking on their junior teammate. Now... act as a masochist witch would, Cornelia. Think of how those witches are always giving away free red truths or hints so that people can solve their puzzles! Those are the tendencies of a masochist, right? Try to really dig in to that personality and think of other types of things they might offer...

Action!

"... I am Cornelia, the Witch of... Inferiority," Cornelia announced, already pouting at having to call herself inferior. Ha ha. Witch of Inferiority? Would any witch use a name like that? I said nothing but allowed her to continue. "You prosecutors think you've done your leg-work, but really, I've been... giving you hints all along... because I want you to solve my riddle...?" she stated, more as a question, while crossing her arms and thinking hard. This kind of character was difficult for her.

It was difficult for me to watch too. I needed to hurry.

Ah, we need you to get into a head-space for method acting. Let's go more dramatic. The witch should be making demands and offers. There should be some physicality to it. Go, Cornelia! Physical!

"Aaah-ah.... Um... The prosecution should punish me for wasting so many angel-man-hours on my fruitless game! I've been a bad witch! B-bad at being a witch, I mean! My game was inappropriately constructed! I should be punished for behaving so poorly, both as a game host and a witch!"

What kind of witch is this? At any rate, she'd said the magic words: punishment. I agreed whole-heartedly. Alright, you masochist witch: bend over the podium there. Cornelia obeyed, keeping her confused, pouty face turned in my direction and blinking her uncomprehending red eyes. No, no, silly. Bend over the other way.

"Inquisitor... that would be-"

Exactly what a masochist witch would do, right?! Would a masochist witch challenge a senior angel and talk back to him? I don't think so! A real masochist witch would already be bending over and shaking her ass!

And sure enough, a moment later, that masochist witch angel was. Heavenly. That big skirt was in the way, though. Hmmm... Cornelia... What do you think a filthy, perverted masochist witch would be likely to ask the prosecution for next, from this position?

"Let it be said... I c-can't possibly even imagine, Sir..."

Oh ho, I think you can. I think you're imagining it right now. The witch would ask for...
