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.

...I serve the Lady's house, sir. I need not be summoned.

[she doesn't react to the glare]

[literalidiotball]

[... Now it's kind of creepy.]

Really? Have you always been here, because you look like someone who got killed and the other lookalike said she was summoned. How else did you get here?

[very_good_end]

...

[slight pause at his new questions before she starts speaking again]

I am a humble maid. I serve the Lady and maintain the upkeep of the mansion. I was never anywhere else.

Nothing like you describe has happened. I would suggest you are simply confused, sir.

[literalidiotball]

Uh... Are you sure? Because I haven't seen you before. Nobody here but us, the witches, and the goats.

[very_good_end]

I don't understand, sir. This is a proper mansion for an honorable Lady. Of course it requires a number of servants to maintain it in proper condition. I am one of them.

Furthermore... if you are making a reference to something else with those last two terms, I must confess my ignorance.

[literalidiotball]

Well that's what the goats are for! You know, the big muscular butlers with the goat heads? Part of the staff! Like, if you're really one of the maids here, don't you ever talk to the other staff?

[very_good_end]

If it falls within the course of my normal duties, I freely associate and cooperate with the other staff, sir.

--But I do not understand why you refer to them as 'goats'. If you are attempting insult toward them, I ask that you refrain from doing so with me.

[literalidiotball]

Nonono! I'm not insulting anyone! I mean, you look nothing like a goat, so you're not gonna be called a goat!

But you seriously don't notice the goat heads?

[very_good_end]

...

There are no goats, head or otherwise, within the mansion. That I am aware of.

[literalidiotball]

. . .

Aaaaalright then. Guess I can't prove you wrong if we don't have any goats here right now, so...

I'll get back to you on that later.

[very_good_end]

...As you wish, sir.
