MOCK ROUND - WEEK 2 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

Even though they had already been through this once before, the atmosphere in the air as they woke up on Friday still felt incredibly ominous.

Yet again, they would have to see the death of one of their own, and investigate as much as they could to find the culprit among them... 🗈

But unlike last time, today felt much more....intense. Like an odd smell in the air, or a palpable feeling of tension, something horrible hanging over them with a knowing sneer.

Even the sounds felt different, though all that could be heard is the normal sounds of the morning...
...

After this - after the final trial - things would be over.

Yet, has this....really been worth it...?

((OOC: Characters will need to bold locations/put it in the subject header to look for clues...or the body!))

...'Overlord'?

[much giggling followed, heeeheeeeheeeheee]

Please! Who are you kidding?! That's something only idiots and deluded middle-school kids would call themselves!

[overlordad]

I don't call myself that, it's my legal title.

[How dare you remind him of his middle-school syndrome phase back in the day]

[very_good_end]

[the giggles eventually subside, ending in a hard snerk.]

Under the circumstances, I will discard any use of such an absurd title. --No hard feelings, Koizumi-san. I hope you don't think less of me for it.

[overlordad]

I don't give a shit, but assuming you're collecting names for using the Blue Truth don't get pissy if it doesn't work or something.

[very_good_end]

[her face softens a bit at that]

Ah, I see you are catching on very quickly. Yes. I'm intrigued.

Tell me, Koizumi-san, have you had much use of it? Or perhaps used on you, so to speak?

[overlordad]

A little, last week. I mostly just got skewered by the Red while feeling out theories. Others managed more damage with it than I did, but practice makes perfect.

[very_good_end]

Indeed. How did it feel, Koizumi-san? I'm most interested to hear an outsider's take on the experience... if only for curiosity's sake.

[overlordad]

It was surreal- it hurt, of course. Felt real. And I know what spears and swords feel like. But also not real? My mind and my body were arguing on what the truth was- was I stabbed or not?

I kinda liked it, honestly.

[very_good_end]

[nods along until that last part]

...Perhaps that's to your advantage, as you'll likely be feeling it again.

[overlordad]

[He snickers]

Well, if I have to tank a few hits so we win, I guess I'll manage~

[very_good_end]

..."Tank"? What is "tank"?

[overlordad]

You know, in games. The character that takes the hits so the damage dealers can fight without worry.

[very_good_end]

...Koizumi-san, you are babbling complete and utter nonsense. I will thank you to try to pull yourself together.

[overlordad]

...

Wow, that's sad.

[What a pitiable young woman, to never play any games. Tsktsk]

[very_good_end]

Indeed it is, that is why I asked you to STOP.
