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.

Jack's first words to me, after seeing my face, was that I looked innocent.

[ Sighing... ]

But, for whatever small amount it's worth, I don't think you did it.

[curryparty]

Ah, that's surprisingly non-judgmental for you.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I've seen and heard enough from Riku to know he just doesn't have it in him to murder someone - much less mutilate them to the extent Lunafreya's body was done.

Personally, I think, even if he somehow did manage it, Riku would hate himself too much afterward, because he'd be too caught up in wondering how Sora would feel about it.

[helmdivide]

He cares a lot about Sora, huh?

[ Enough to let someone in during murder night. ]

[dawnwardspiral]

[ hEY. Shut up!!! ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ It's true, tho. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He nods. ]

Sora's one of the most important people in all worlds, to him. At least, that's how it came across to me.

[helmdivide]

Man, I'm a little envious.

[enter_the_darkness]

Of Sora?

[helmdivide]

[ Just going to...ruffle his hair. It's easier to do with it being like this. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

You like Riku a lot, huh?

[ Fight him, Jack. ]

[helmdivide]

[ Hmm

Turn it into a joke
> Turn it on Vanitas
Change topics
???

]

Huh? Well, yeah. I wouldn't hang out with someone I didn't like. [ A beat. ] It's like you and me, right? You keep talking to me because you like me.

[helmdivide]

Hey, only looked. I knew better.

[enter_the_darkness]

Did you?

[helmdivide]

I did.

[ Reaching over to just mess with his hair. ]

Was hoping that our trip to the woods meant something though.

[ When they had each other's backs or something. The three of them. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Ah...

There's... no response to that, at first. He's just staring up at Jack for a moment.... ]

Why...?

[helmdivide]

That I didn't say anything or that I wanted to trust you?

[enter_the_darkness]

... Nevermind.

[ Looking away now! ]

[helmdivide]

[ Who's ducking now? He'll just giving him a light nudge, but not say anything. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

After everything I did, why don't you hate my guts?

[helmdivide]

Yeah, haha. Maybe I should. He didn't deserve to know how that felt, but... it's fun spending time with you. We're friends, right?

[dawnwardspiral]

[ Oh, huh. He...didn't expect it, but he doesn't look affronted at it. ]

...Heh. Didn't think I'd hear that coming from you.

[ Still... ]

But, I can't say I'm ungrateful for it.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ After explaining the reason to Asuma, he shrugs at Riku. ]

You're an annoyingly good person.

[dawnwardspiral]

But, it sounds to me that you don't mind that much, right?

[ There's a hint of amusement in his tone, hah. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Making a face... and then lightly pushing his shoulder. ]

Yeah, yeah...
