Week 3, Saturday

[foundationmods]

This time, when everyone files into the studio, they aren't escorted to their seats. Instead, they are sent to podiums up on the stage arrange in a semi-circle. Everyone can see each other, and everyone is also visible to the cameras. Off to stage right is a jury box with 12 prinnies in it, all in various states of 'fancy dress'. One is wearing a suit top, another a blouse, one a huge Colonial-era wig. To stage left at box 0 is Dazai's seat, where he will be spending most of the trial, but he will get up to move around at times. And in the very center is a picture of Aqua. Once everyone is in their spots, one of the prinnies will hit a gavel against the podium in front of it, signaling the start of the trial.

It's time to find Aqua's killer.

Yes. Lucifer. From what he told me, Lucifer is the one who created him.

...

This week, he told me that everything he did in this world was for Lucifer, but he wouldn't explain what exactly he meant by that.

[iblistriggered]

... Does it seem like he believed the Foundation's threat?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

I don't know that for sure, but he was looking at the picture when I talked to him.

Alcor was upset about it, too.

[iblistriggered]

I mean... it's kind of dumb. Because if the Foundation decides we're dangerous, all of us and everyone in those pictures is going to get killed anyway.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

It is. I tried telling Alcor that, but...

[She scared the poor starbox.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver sighs]

I guess it really is no use.

[visionem]

To lose hope is to admit defeat.

[iblistriggered]

I know... I'm just... I'm having a hard time, Alcor....

[visionem]

Do I need to tell you to keep trying?

[ There's no tone to that, just completely neutral. ]

[iblistriggered]

I'm still here, aren't I? I'm still trying.

[visionem]

Good.

Silver-san...

[why must she be stuck in nora hell while people she likes are doing a sad]

[iblistriggered]

[he gives Karen a dejected look. His cheerful optimism has really taken a beating this week]

[eldritcheyes]

[Mood, buddy.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[They should start a support group for people who are supposed to be optimistic and aren't now.]

[iblistriggered]

[Retrieve Optimism 2k19]

[eldritcheyes]

[He just wants people to stop dying here. And maybe some more friends.]

[odasaku]

So you’re suggesting that they could’ve worked together?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Not necessarily... but I suppose it's possible.

They both seemed upset with it. That's all I was thinking about.

[houndumb]

Just 'cause you fuckin' hate this motive doesn't mean you'd bother with it. That would be everybody.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...he's right. I was also upset by the motive, for example.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

...

The same goes for me. I couldn't bring myself to kill anyone over it, but...

[houndumb]

[Nora's listening, and he doesn't look surprised but he also just looks extra grouchy about it.]

Does he ever shut up about Lucifer, honestly.

[iblistriggered]

[pfffttt....]
