WEEK 2 MINGLE - ARTEMISIA

[foundationmods]

Things had changed so rapidly in the past few days.

The loss of two of them hung over like a shroud, made even worse by the fact that an innocent person had been executed.

Was this....how the rest of the game was going to go...?🗈

....Even if it was, there wasn't much they could do now. Yuuko herself hasn't shown up in public since the trial, and while some have talked to her, she's been...subdued.

Did the trial hurt her just as much as them?

Regardless, the island is still beautiful, if deadly. Summer continues, beaming down on all of them, the waves of the sea warm and inviting.

But even if things look bleak...

They have something in their hands that will soon lead to the Truth, and the heart of this matter.

And in the air...lies a heavy sense that everything is about to change.

[Oooh, clever! As he looks up, he might notice a thin piece of wire hanging from the ceiling, so thin as to be nearly invisible unless you looked at it the right way.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Oh... what's this?

[Can he reach it either with his own hand, or using his cane as an extension?]

[foundationmods]

[He can easily grab it with his own hand! ...However, as he does, he might notice a tile on the ceiling moving imperceptibly if he taps down on it lightly.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well, There seems to be a loose tile there!

[He lightly taps, to see what happens, and how easily it would be make it move]

[foundationmods]

[It seems like one good tug from the string would make it come loose.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He'll give it a tug while taking a half-step back so if anything drops, it won't be right on his head]

[foundationmods]

[GOOD IDEA, because the moment he tugs, something wrapped in bubble wrap flies out, thunking onto the floor.

....There's also a lot of confetti and glitter.]

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow had seen Ruler fiddling with something on the ceiling, so he's there to catch whatever falls out.

Which means he catches the bubble wrap!

... and also gets covered in glitter. This is fine]

Are you kidding me.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He gives a startled 'what the hell?' (fuck is for less gentlemanly sorts) laugh as they're covered with glitter and confetti]

Good catch, Shadow... and I'll never get this out.

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow gives Ruler a flat look, then hands him the bubble wrap.]

I have ways of dealing with this.

[he takes a few steps away and... curls up into a ball? What a normal hedgehog thing to do!

But then that ball starts spinning at incredibly high speeds, flinging glitter everywhere. Thanks, physics. He uncurls and picks a few more pieces out of his fur]

Ugh. I'll be grooming for hours... this better be worth it.

[anonnomnomnom]

Whoa! It’s like a real spinning top glitterbomb!

[Anon those aren’t a thing.

Anon is now also glittery, since they’re probably nearby. The Glittherpes is spreading.]

[chaoscontrol]

If I have to pick glitter out of my fur for hours, so does everyone else.

[anonnomnomnom]

Good thing I don’t have fur.

[He’ll still need it out of his hair, but knowing him, he might just. Leave it. Sparkle sparkle, bitches.]

[aleph_armed]

[...Do you... even want to know how all this glitter messes with the cognition filter?

Gebura is now sparkling. It's not glitter sparkles, either. Like she is sparkling like a shoujo character right now.]

...Did you really have to do that?

[chaoscontrol]

Yes. I did.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Oh, when did Vinea get here? That's the laughing voice off to the side, you see. You're both glittery and it's hilarious.]

[aleph_armed]

[Gebura just glares and glares... But the glare is kind of ruined by the fact that there the cognition filter is now in shoujo mode.

...She feels so ineffectual and she doesn't understand why.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He goes to unwrap the object, just shaking his head with some slight vexation at being even more glittered up. He has no desire to sparkle like a certain arrogant servant]

Let's see what it is.

[foundationmods]

[It's a wooden box...

But a very interesting one.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Oh! It looks like a crayon box/

[He feels the edges of the box, and the 'crayons' themselves to see if any has give]

Good thing it is a puzzle, art is not one of my fortes.

[fullbodied]

[time to start pulling her pigtails out to hopefully... be free of glitter.]

Well, at least it's only glitter.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...............watching this. HOW DOES ANN LOOK WITH HER HAIR DOWN? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.]

[fullbodied]

[

fucking cute, of course]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Well.

Hopefully Yuuko didn't need Vinea to monitor anything closely at this particular moment.]

[fullbodied]

[good because she's just going to be teasing glitter out of her hair for a minute before she notices Vinea staring.

and she assumes she is laughing at her glitter hair. :(]

What? I needed to get the glitter out.
