MOCK ROUND - WEEK 2 TRIAL

[foundationmods]

It was noon on Friday.

No matter where they were, no matter what they were doing...the moment the chimes rang out through the hall, they felt a change.

The world began to expand, as they felt themselves leaving the world they were on, and towards the world they'd experienced once before. 🗈

Perhaps on another plane, in another place, someone else heard music as they gazed upon the proceedings.

Their forms, just like before, were different now. This was less shocking than it was last time, and yet...

...There was a deep silence in the room, one that no one wanted to break. It was the faint tension in the air, like the moments before a race or a competition begins.

Only this time....this was the last time they would be competing. This was the final week...and the final chance they had at securing their wishes - while denying someone theirs.

...Just a little more to go.

[ A hum... ]

You, me, Raenef, Scarred, Jack...

[ heh ]

Riku?

[curryparty]

I think we should probably take you off of the list, though.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Shrugging!!! There's a snort. ]

I was just listing teens and older adults.

[curryparty]

[Reaches over to pat on the shoulder!]

I've been working on it, so just wait until the game's over, okay?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He blinks. ]

"It"? You mean...?

[ Ah... ]

[helmdivide]

Could you even imagine Riku do anything like that though? Haha. Besides, he was sleeping next to me. I would have noticed something when I got up in the morning.

[ Like different clothes or something ]

[overlordad]

Not really- once everyone went to sleep we were all dead asleep. He could have changed before the kill then changed back. Same goes for him being YOUR alibi.

[helmdivide]

Yeah, that's a good point. [ hmm. ] What about all the drool? I think if he was busy killing someone, he wouldn't have drooled.

[ Was there actual drool? Who knows. ]

[overlordad]

I mean, he probably slept afterwards?

[curryparty]

If he changed into something different for the kill and then changed back, you wouldn't have. Not with the spell keeping all of us asleep.

[helmdivide]

Yeah, that's true. But I don't think he's capable. He has a big heart, remember?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Considering how he acts, no.

[ ... ]

Not gonna defend yourself?

[helmdivide]

I don't know what I could say to defend myself, haha. I mean, I could point out I wouldn't even know how to strangle someone.

[dawnwardspiral]

Can't say I'd ever do that to anyone. I know I didn't.

[ His expression softens- ]

But your faith in me won't be enough. [ His tone speaks of gratitude and if it weren't for the blindfold, Jack would see it clear in his eyes. ] We'll just have to prove it when we catch who really did it.

[overlordad]

Lambda probably grabbed people that had a wish they'd kill for. So morals aren't an alibi...

[helmdivide]

[ It's good he can't see those eyes. Miiiight be a little weak for them.

Or just weak towards Riku. He'll put a hand on his shoulder. ]

Yeah, I know. Not going to stop me from trying, you know.

[overlordad]

I assume not you since you can't win at this point.

...unless someone offered you their wish for helping or something. If that's even possible.

[helmdivide]

I think he just wants to be included.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Just. Gonna push him for that. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I doubt she'd give someone's wish to another person. A loss is a loss.

[ladyscarred]

This would be a lot easier if we could compare our arms to the marks...

[She's not sure what to make of being on the list but w/e.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He nods. ]

Yeah, that'd probably help a lot, at this point.

[artificialhighness]

If we are considering goats as a possible accomplice, then Takashi is the most suspicious one again, isn't he?

[She sounds amused by this.]

[overlordad]

Yeah, but that's too obvious, you know what I mean? Everyone saw me with the kid all week.

If someone asked the goats for help it's possible a big one did the neck snap too.

[curryparty]

It sounds like it was a small goat, though.
