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.

[Watanuki's response is to immediately wave off the words in a rather literal sense as he mutters under his breath at it.]

Shut up already!

[...

His nose dents a little, like someone just booped it with a finger.

There's a faint giggle in the air.]

[goldenmaniac]

...

G-ghosts?!

[Takumi no]

[fullbodied]

Normally, I'd be scared.

But I'm tired.

What the hell was that?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Who is that?

[excavated]

. . . That wasn't Lambdadelta-san, was it?

[aleph_armed]

...Okay, how many witches are we at being involved in this game now?

[excavated]

To be honest, I don't know. [ The main two witches are definitely those two, but there might be some other witches watching them from the outside. Or something, anyway. ]

[aleph_armed]

Is this just going to be how the entire thing works? Every week we get a new witch to have to deal with? This place is going to get crowded with witches before long.

[excavated]

It's possible. . . I wouldn't know, though.

[keydomhearts]

Are we going to count all the minor ones?

[aleph_armed]

[...You know what, that answer is way scarier than what she was expecting. She's just going to facepalm a bit.]

...How many minor ones are involved in this already?

[keydomhearts]

[ Hmm ]

I don't actually know. They all look alike!

[ He'll peer around. Here Goats where the heck are you??? ]

Watanuki told me that the goats are pretty much minor witches.

[rikuchi]

...Lambdadelta?

[excavated]

Yes. It's a name of a witch, apparently. One that taught these two the rules of this particular game. Apparently they're supposed to be observing it. . . as far as I'm aware. Kimihiro might have more to say about her than I do, though.

[rikuchi]

[ ...... ]

...Right. The other witch did mention that before, but I think it slipped my mind.

[ He thinks he'll ask Watanuki more about it later, though - for now, off he goes. ]

[anonnomnomnom]

[Casually reaches over and waves his hand in the air in front of Watanuki's nose.]
