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.

[Well, there are the tables! each table is covered by a table cloth, and there are four chairs to a table. all in all, it looks like there are ten tables.

There's also the table with the food on it, but anon is near there currently.]

[aleph_armed]

[...Hm. Well, first place to check would probably be underneath the tables, then.

...Except the one Anon's working on, we'll just. Let him "work" for the time being.]

[foundationmods]

[Oooh, good idea! There's nothing but empty space in most of them, but in one, she finds...


....

um.]

[aleph_armed]

[...This. Sure is a wooden foot.

Okay, let's see... First, let's pick it up and feel around for anything that can be pushed or moved, even if it doesn't seem to do anything.]

[foundationmods]

[The pinky toe can be pushed down, and - oddly - the nail of the big toe can be lifted up.

But not removed, thankfully.]

[aleph_armed]

[Then, let's start from there... Pushing down the pinky toe and listening for any clicking sound or anything.]

[fullbodied]

Oh, neat.

That must be one of the puzzle boxes.

[aleph_armed]

It seems like it, yeah... Not sure I'll be any good at this, but for the time being... It looks like the pinky and the big toe's nail can be moved.

[foundationmods]

[No click! Hm.]

[aleph_armed]

[...Step three: try both at once. Push pinky toe down while lifting the nail.]

[fullbodied]

[she's just waiting to see what happens.]

[aleph_armed]

Looks like we've got it. ...I'm not sure how much help I'll be on the riddles themselves, but we've got this one, at least..

[fullbodied]

That's still something, though, right?

And you didn't crawl under tables to do it.

[aleph_armed]

Checking them out wasn't a bad idea, though. We both came to the same conclusion there, after all.

[...And then Shadow glitters everyone, and Gebura is now being presented in a shoujo style, whoops?]

CONGRATULATIONS! RIDDLE FOUND

[foundationmods]

[A hidden box at the heel of the foot suddenly pops out, with a piece of paper inside!

Congrats! You've solved the 'Ouch' Karakuri Puzzle!]

[aleph_armed]

[Grumble grumble, coated in glitter shoujo grumble.

Yeah, she'll read it out loud whenever everyone's ready.]
