WEEK 3 TRIAL

It was noon on Saturday.

No matter where they were, no matter what they were doing...the moment the chimes rang out through the hall, they felt a change.

The world...began to expand, as they felt themselves leaving the world they were on, and towards another, much larger world...🗈



...As always, the courtroom was there - along with the audience, watching, waiting for the entertainment before them.

The Witch - Nirrti - was there, sitting in the most important place, watching all of them with a sharp, cruel gaze, a smile of pure delight on her face.

Watanuki was also there, but he merely lounged in the back behind them, smoking a kiseru pipe in silence.
...It seemed as if he was content to watch - that he had to watch - as part of the rules of the game.

There was no music to be heard, but... perhaps on another plane, in another place, someone else heard music as they gazed upon the proceedings.

Again, their forms had changed - perhaps into something different than last time, but...still a change, no matter how dramatic or inconsequential it was.

...There was a deep silence in the room, one that no one wanted to break. It was the faint tension in the air, like the moments before a race or a competition begins.

They had found the truth last time....but now, two people had died.
Was it possible for them to find the culprit this time?
A culprit that....had...

No, it had to be.

For the sake of the dead...and the sake of them all.

....

[She just looks at her.]

Answer me in red, are you trying to do what you did last trial?
lutea: (nor emotions are heard.)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...I refuse. I do not have to tell you pieces what my moves are.
fullbodied: (54)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you'll accept any blue truth?
lutea: (is nowhere to be found.)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps.

...Or, Perhaps, I am merely waiting for all of you to really get serious.

Stop sleeping, Ann. Open your eyes....and face me with all of your might.

Until then...I will sleep, too.

...

Then we have weapons besides the blue truths.
lutea: (Just now in full bloom)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Show them to me.
fullbodied: (11)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would I show them now? Every good thief knows to wait for the right time to strike. Even when their target seems impossible.
lutea: (this voice of mine)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
....And such is the same for me.

[She smiles, her eyes gleaming.]

...It's not time for my counter-attack, not yet.
fullbodied: (6)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...

I may be miserable now. But I'm going to be happy to spite you, watch.

Besides, Akira and Ryuji were already both miserable here. Ryuji hated himself and Akira didn't feel he had a sense of self. They were never out just to chat happily.
lutea: (is nowhere to be found.)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
....And are you claiming that changes anything about this case?

[She stops that blue with a hand, staring at her with delighted eyes.]
fullbodied: (54)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but I want it known that nothing in that story of yours was any worse than what we already expected.

And that Akira made the tea for him and for Ryuji, not you.
lutea: (As I disappeared into the dream.)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shatters the blue she's holding, turning away.]

Then I won't stand for such flimsy blue. Stand down, if you want to keep slumbering.
fullbodied: (11)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No!

You made up a story about my friends, you put words into their mouths! yOu should have to answer for it!

[she's not backing down.]
lutea: (remained unknown to them)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Then disprove it.

[That comes out in an annoyed hiss.]

With a better, complete theory. Or will you continue tantruming at me like a child?
fullbodied: (6)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
...

The true culprit pushed Akira, who pushed Ryuji. Akira was the easier target, because he was drowsy.
lutea: (is nowhere to be found.)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[That truth - no matter how it forms - strikes true, and she falls silent.

...but...

There's a smile on her face.]
fullbodied: (6)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
... You're not taking this seriously, either, are you?
lutea: (In this dream)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...*giggle. Giggle.*

[She chuckles to herself, quietly.]

...I just....wanted to see something, that's all.
fullbodied: (45)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You goaded me into trying to disprove anything! But it doesn't matter, because your goals are different from ours.
lutea: (this voice of mine)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-04-13 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
....Maybe.

...But I wanted to see If you were all just as foolish as you were last week.

...Apparently, you are. *giggle*
fullbodied: (2)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[honestly, she just stares at her.

and then kicks the closest wall.]
foundfate: (bored listening)

[personal profile] foundfate 2019-04-13 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Silence isn't a confirmation, Ann-san.
fullbodied: (6)

[personal profile] fullbodied 2019-04-13 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.
