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.

Hmph. I wasn't going to make myself that obvious for a test.

[Bitch didn't you know asking for a car is discreet!!]

[houndumb]

How bad did the test fail??

[He didn't even get any details but what is going on!!!!]

[merirut]

[He wrinkles his face in disgust as he recalls the tikes car.]

We only received useless toys in their stead. Something fit for a child to sit and play in, but nothing more.

[dereban]

He also attempted to ask for a horse and we got a cake.

[prayerwheel]

...was it in the shape of a horse?

[ bc she doesn't see how cake and horse are connected, otherwise ]

[dereban]

It sure was.

It's really cute. I put it in the fridge, so after this, if anybody wants some, we can all partake in cake.

[prayerwheel]

[ !!!

SUDDENLY, MORE MOTIVATION TO FINISH THIS TRIAL

SHE WANTS TO SEE THE HORSE CAKE ]

[houndumb]

That's just 'cause you didn't try hard enough?? Next time ask for a squid car!

[Nora no]

[duskhound]

A... squid car...?

[We're totally getting Splatoon Mario Kart amiibos, aren't we?]

[houndumb]

You can totally drive a squid if you try hard enough.

[Has he even played Splatoon.]

[merirut]

And what makes you think that would fare any better?

[houndumb]

Squid is bouncier. An' the house likes seafood.

[This is a stupid backtag but I can't resist.]

[merirut]

[oh my god fyre]

And why would an object's bounciness factor into all of this?!

[houndumb]

[It me, I don't know what you expected here.]

What, you've never heard of just destroyin' enemies with how bouncy you are?? Kinda like one of those barriers that repels stuff.

[IS THAT HOW BARRIERS WORK?????]

[merirut]

[Well, Repel is definitely a buff that exists in gbf so it's not completely unheard of for him but. He is 90% it doesn't work by literally being bouncy??]

I've seen such barriers before, but I doubt it's because of their elasticity of all things.

[darkova]

They why not just ask for a bike?

[merirut]

[Just gives him a deadeyed stare.

Does he look like he knows how to ride a bike??]

[iblistriggered]

.... So you can't drive a car, and you can't ride a bike... what, exactly, was your plan...?

[houndumb]

Ya don't need to know how to drive the thing if you just plow through anything in your way?? Obviously.

[Nora has a plan?? Apparently??]

[iblistriggered]

... Nora.

Do you know how to drive a car...? It's a lot harder than Mario Kart.

[houndumb]

Long as I don't crash into other cars or too many walls it ain't a big deal.

[Demons may be too sturdy for this to be an unbiased sample......]

[iblistriggered]

[facepalm]

[houndumb]

Bet YOU can't drive.

[Silver this is an unnecessary rabbithole save thyself.]

[merirut]

Just because I'm unfamiliar with driving doesn't mean I'm incapable of learning.

[iblistriggered]

I guess that's true.

[he'll let that line of questioning drop for now]
