Week 1, Saturday

This whole post contains a blanket CONTENT WARNING for gallows and hanging imagery.

---

[Once again, right at noon, the Contestants are invited to the studio to participate in another exciting game. The set has changed entirely since the last time they were there, with the mountain climber game replaced by a large board of some sort. Several prinnies are near it, carrying large cards with random letters written on them. It seems as though they might be helping out for this game. But there is something else off to the side too...(CW: gallows)

As always, Dazai is there, waiting on stage for everyone to sit down. He's dressed in his usual black suit getup, but his smile seems a bit forced today.]

[And suddenly, he moves- as quickly as a Servant can, grabbing nora's head with a single hand, wrenching him out of Oda's grip with a strength far stronger than what he should have, slamming the unruly dog to the ground.]

How dare you.

[His grip tightens around Nora's head, black leather creaking as his gloves feel the force from it.]

[houndumb]

[Okay so like 30 things just happened in quick succession:

1. Ugh, human blood is so gross, tastes like licking metal. RUSTY metal. How do rogue demons do this shit.

2. Scruff #1! He growls at Oda because this is at least the second time he's been scruffed with Moriarty involved since arriving but y'know, he would have disengaged either way because there's like 10 people here suddenly yelling about a very small thing, in his view??

3. There's a glare at Akechi when he backs down, Nora unrepentant because like--]

Yeah, well, I AIN'T sorry so--

[4. So he entirely deserves the sudden Moriarty Super Special Slamdunk or whatever we're calling it, and it takes him a minute to recover from that, because seriously he's just been yanked all over the place and it's disorienting??? But once he's done Nora just glares up with one red eye, just as fiercely.]

See, I KNEW you were fuckin' fine, ya damn old man!!

[He's going to try kicking free and if that doesn't work then yeah he's going to try chomping. Y'all.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[The kicking definitely doesn't work, though Moriarty is still hanging on, even if he gets bitten - like he doesn't even feel it.]

Stop. Struggling.

[darkova]

... enough!

[It takes him a few tries to open his hip bag with only one good hand but eventually Ingway does, yanking out one of his mason jars- only this one is... pale yellow? He opens it with a struggle and...

...dumps it on the two struggling men. In a puff of smoke and magic where they once were is now two giant frogs, about the size of cats.]

And stay like that until you both calm down!

[He's just gonna grumble in garbled French- this is so dumb]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[WELL.

There's a frog with a mustache, now - looking incredibly disoriented, before looking (???) Down at itself.]

Ribbit?!

[houndumb]

RIBBIT!!

[IT SOUNDS VERY ANGRY but Frog #2 has also not yet grasped the art of being a frog or moving so it's just yelling while plopped there. Why this.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

RIBBIT!!

[Mustache frog yells back at frog number 2, angrily.

This is your fault!!]

[visionem]

[ A sigh. ]

I did tell you.

[mastersdefender]

[ omg she just

laughs, she can't help it. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[...Just resting her head in her hands.

She's got too much of a headache for this already.]

[iblistriggered]

Kyaaaa....


[Silver crouches down

and picks up mustache frog]

So... cute....

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[OH GOD THAT'S TERRIFYING FROM A FROG PERSPECTIVE

Aka suddenly there's just a loud 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE' from the now Mori-frog.

It's so high pitched...]

[prayerwheel]

[ oh my god why did it have to be frogs she h a t e s f r o g s

but this is grandpa. it's fine. it's just grandpa. hhhhhhhh. she pulls her sleeves down so she doesn't have to touch the frog sliminess too much and just

picks him up ]

Do you want healing at all? Ribbit twice if yes, three times for no. I can't do much, but it might help your head a little.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[ASSUMING THIS IS AFTER SILVER LETS HIM GO, he's looking very tired and sorry for himself, lying in her hands and looking up at her pitifully.]

...Ribbit ribbit.

[Why did this happen to him, he made his mistaaaakes, etc etc]

[eldritcheyes]

[Just this face.]

[iblistriggered]

Holy crap...!



..... They're really cute!!

[prayerwheel]

...do they still need healing, or did this spell of yours take care of that?

[ since someone got bitten and grandpa has a headache. god

she never understands mages. why frogs!!!

but if she can help, she will ]

[darkova]

They probably still do. Now you can just pick them up if they complain.

[prayerwheel]

[ .................... ]

I'd rather not pick up a frog if I have to, but so be it.

[mastersdefender]

What just...?

[ Well, she's glad the fight was stopped but still - ]

[darkova]

[Ingway is still grumbling to himself but:]

It will wear off in a few hours. They're fine.

[mastersdefender]

They will?

[ ... ]

...Thank you for stepping in by the way.

[failsaw]

Anybody know how to cook frog legs?

[breadloaf]

No, please! I don't want to know if frogs actually taste like chicken...

[arraignments]

[ OKAY SO...

Goro doesn't even have a chance to respond to anyone else before he sees James-san kind of just...

SUDDENLY UP AND ATTACKING NORA... And, for a moment, Goro looks incredibly stunned. ]

Dad, wait-!

[ It's... too late, though. Doesn't help, either, that Moriarty'll soon be a frog(????). ]
