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.

Sir, I'm afraid I must be direct: I will appreciate if you stop referring to my fellow servants as 'goats'. They are as flesh and blood human as you or I.

[anonnomnomnom]

Okay, okay.

[He holds up his hands in a (mock?) placating gesture.]

Jeez, you're as uptight about goats as Vinea is about the library.

...

[she continues to stare, not taking the bait to ask]

[He still needs to finish his sandwich, so you know what? He's just going to stare back unblinkingly at the facsimile of a dead girl probably created by a witch.

Zombie staring contest go!]

[very_good_end]

[The game anyone can play! She stands there as he takes bite after bite. Not staring at him, but to the side in case he calls on her.]

[anonnomnomnom]

[OK OK, he's finally done. At least sandwiches don't usually get cold during long, not-so-spirited conversations with the not-so-dearly-departed. Anon starts putting things away before he turns to Freida again.]

Right, so, it was good to meet you. I guess? I bet your fellow servants are going to get more and more interesting in the next few weeks.

[He gives her a sly half-grin as he leaves.]

[very_good_end]

Likewise, sir.

--You are free to leave your dishes, sir. I will take care of them.

[anonnomnomnom]

Too late, Freida! You gotta be faster than that!

[Annnnnd he absconds with the dishes.]

[very_good_end]

[No chase ensues. She'll simply wait for him to go and then return to cleaning.]
