WEEK 3 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

Three weeks had gone by, and even with the other Witch being revealed, Friday came.

Waking up on this day began to feel like the prelude to something horrible.

To a horrible sight...and some kind of deep betrayal, knowing that one of them had ended the lives of someone they'd been speaking and laughing with just the day before...🗈

...But, they had no choice. This was the game, and it had to be played - set in motion by the pair of Witches.

No matter how they felt, they had to search, to gaze upon cruel death in it's many forms.

No matter....how dear the person once was to them, today...they would be nothing but a corpse to gleam clues from, in preparation for the trial.

And so...they had to push forward. Forward...to find a terrible truth.

[ Syaoran is also going to pipe in here, trying to stay calm even though he's on the verge of panicking over Kimihiro. ] I told you how my mother could see the future in dreams, right? Usually only fellow dream seers could meet each other in dreams, but... it's possible that given our connection to Kimihiro as 'pieces', he could have shown Erhard-san a dream of a possible future. But that future can still be changed.

[foundfate]

[He hums thoughtfully as he nods.]

I think that might be right. The connection we all share might be how it happened.

[Also it sounds like they need to talk later.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

It would make sense... that's typically what happens between Masters and Servants - we share our memories, under normal circumstances.

[foundfate]

Are we supposed to?

[He's kind of wondering why he hasn't seen any Ruler-memories yet.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

That's usually what happens... and it goes both ways. I'm not sure if it's the nature of this place, or your "unusual" state that is keeping that from happening.

Or perhaps it is taking it's time... nobody really knows how it works, save for perhaps the Grand Casters.

[foundfate]

Maybe we should take a nap near each other and see if that helps.

[ Thanks for the words of support, Kimihiro. ] I only heard bits and pieces and not all of it [ so he'll have to probably ask again at a later point ] but if it's a dream that will cause trouble to you... I'm not going to allow it to happen. Never again. I don't want a sad dream of the future like that anymore.

[foundfate]

...Syaoran, you know my dreams don't exist just to cause me trouble. They're warnings.

[excavated]

I know. That's why I'm going to repeat what I said before, back then: don't do anything too reckless, Kimihiro.

[foundfate]

I won't be that reckless. I'm not going to go drinking flames like that.

[excavated]

Promise me. Please.

[foundfate]

...I promise I won't be reckless, if it can be avoided.

[excavated]

[ POUTS AT HIM!!!! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY but he's not going to say anything more, just looking at Kimihiro worriedly like a lost puppy. ]

[goldenmaniac]

See. I knew there had to be more to it.

[Thank Syaoran ^-^]

[excavated]

. . . Yeah. I think whatever happened in that dream. If it came to pass, it wasn't because Kimihiro is a bad person. More than likely, he had good intentions. But sometimes he's reckless, and he'll do things to help other people. Even if means that it might hurt himself. I don't like seeing him hurt, Takumi. I won't allow a bad future to happen to him. No matter what the cost.

[goldenmaniac]

None of this 'no matter what the cost'. If you try to rush into anything again I'll hit you, don't think I won't.

[Cuz he can totes take on a martial arts master]

You have my support though, we'll make sure something like that never happens, for all our sakes. Okay?

[excavated]

. . . . [ He's a little quiet at that, unable to come up with a proper response. At least, for the first half, anyway. ] Yeah. Alright... thank you. I mean it.

[goldenmaniac]

[As someone that has also risked himself utterly against the wishes of his friends, Takumi know that hesitation. Like knows like after all.

He also knows arguing any further would just make him dig his heels in. So better to just... deal with things as they come]

[rikuchi]

[ ...

Well, that's interesting. ]
