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.

As a servant myself, I doubt I would notice anything at all.

[Terminology pedantry for the sake of being contrary!]

Speaking of which, Frieda has enough to do without you all harassing her about being some other girl.

[aleph_armed]

[...Well, I mean. That's still an answer.]

So you wouldn't notice anything, then... You would at least notice that the number of "guests" has reduced, right? Especially since you seem to know all about us, you would notice if one's gone, wouldn't you?

[...This is like dealing with 04, why is she even bothering? This... could be important, though...]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...frown.]

Yes, Gebura-san, I can count to twenty-two.

[aleph_armed]

[She just. Sighs at this.]

We'll continue this conversation next week then, if the numbers change from now.

...Oh, please repeat that number and say what it means, though?

[...So she can record it for possible playback.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Vinea leans forward, and speaks in her best "frustrating phone menu" voice.]

At the tone, the number of "guests" who currently reside within the mansion will be twenty-two. Beep!

[aleph_armed]

[...Gebura tries. Very very hard to keep a straight face through that message. She seems a lot more bothered than she really should be. Especially since she did ask for it, and didn't really even try keeping it a secret. She... does manage to stop herself from saying anything for a few minutes, at least?]

...Thanks for that. Yeah, it was pretty obvious what I was trying to do, but I figured you would want evidence if you really don't notice.

[She's just... going to walk out of the room after that to try and regain her composure.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Vinea... isn't really sure what just happened, but it feels like she won, so okay?]
