Week 5, Saturday

[foundationmods]

[Saturday arrives, and the contestants are welcomed back to the Studio officially at noon. When they arrive, they ill find that the entire place has been rebuilt, and that both the power and the cameras are back on. It took a week, but those prinnies have been working hard.

The studio is ready for them, with the stage having a raised circular platform on it. On that platform are twelve smaller circular platforms, arranged in a semi-circle so that everyone can see everyone and also be seen by the cameras once they are in place. There appear to be no assigned spots, but only one person is able to enter each spot.

Dazai stands there as well, smiling and ushering everyone in.]

Come on in! Pick a platform, and we'll get started.

1/2

[hatesdeerstalkers]

It appears our host is taking it easy on us! Very well! Let's begin with -

2/3

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[And then, all of a sudden, he stops speaking - gripping the sides of the platform with a sudden choked noise.]

N...nghk?!

3/3

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Red lines begin to travel across his skin, crossing onto his face and arms - but he just grips the podium so hard it cracks from the strength he's exerting on it.]

Ghhh....Aaagh...

[He's breathing hard and sweating, clearly in intense amounts of pain - but still managing to remain standing.]

....I will not....d-do what....you want me to.....Kurotsuchi...!!

[oceanicbutterfly]

[BAD.]

Moriarty-san!

[prayerwheel]

Father, what's--?

[ oh well that can't be good ]

[darkremnants]

[ ???? ?????? ??????? ]

Don't tell me you're having a heart-

[ Kurotsuchi. Oh. ]

Looks like he decided to use his toy.

[odasaku]

Guess this is what he meant.

[ oda will just...take out a gun to set on the podium, but he sure as hell hopes it doesn't become necessary. ]

[darkremnants]

[ He puts his own hands in his pocket. ]

Pretty much. The question is, is he aiming to hurt Moriarty with this or someone else?

[dereban]

[ YIKES???? ]

[houndumb]

[... Hm. Bad. He's got his lance with him at the moment so it's already up and pointing at Moriarty as he squints at him.]

What the fuck...

[Are they all trapped on the platforms or....... he's not going to move just yet but hoo boy.]

[iblistriggered]

Mori!!

[Silver turns to Dazai, eyes pleading]

Please!! Turn back on my powers! I can stop him! Please!

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[VERY YIKES. She's looking nervously between him, the others, and Dazai.]

[darkova]

James!

[he's yanking out a frog potion, ready to smash him with it if needed]

[duskhound]

[...What... What is even... What is Kurotsuchi even trying to do...?]

[guileturncoat]

[That. That is not part of the plan here, nope.]

Hey, what's going on? Are you-

[He had been about to ask if Moriarty was alright, but he's clearly not, so.

Just taking a few steps towards his podium now.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Ahh....Hggh...No...!

[The Lines have spread almost across one part of his face before he suddenly moves - even without his powers, he's incredibly fast - And leaps towards Dazai, slamming him to the ground effortlessly and wrapping his gloved hands around the man's throat, squeezing.

Though even with that, he's still clearly suffering - he should have enough power to instantly snap Dazai's neck, but he's still resisting as much as he can, yelling out in complete anguish-]

For the love of god - STOP ME!

[houndumb]

[I mean, Nora's already moving the instant Moriarty starts, but it might be in everyone's best interest that he doesn't reach him first considering his first option is grapple and his second option is STABBITY. Also he's just going to try and kick Doezai away while he's at it.]

YOU'RE IN THE WAY, ASSHOLE.

[iblistriggered]

[Silver is but a small hedgehog... but he can't let this happen to Moriarty, not after all this. He leaps from his platform and onto Moriarty's back, putting his arm around his neck to try and choke him out]

I'm sorry....!!

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen is running even though she has no idea what she'll do????]

[darkova]

HOLD HIM WITH ALL YOUR POWER!!

[Ingway is running over, popping multiple potions to start dumping on the Servant- sorry Dazai you might get hit too but he's trying to aim as much as he can one handed]

[darkremnants]

[ He's fast too. Just jumping in to slam his full weight against Moriarty's side, trying to dislodge him, as he puts his hand there to try to pry those fingers off. ]

[duskhound]

[Yeah, Ellie's just. Going to do her best to separate the two, but it's not like she has a whole lot of strength here. Her primary stat's accuracy, after all.

...Still, she'll do her best to try and hit Moriarty's arm so that pulling him off is easier for other people?]

[prayerwheel]

[ She can't quite get in the middle of this without her song, but she does have Graveryl on her. So she's gonna try to grab him around the middle with the chain to keep him at least a little less on Doezai. ]

[failsaw]

[And Giriko's going for a chokehold.

Look she couldn't murder yesterday let her have this]

frog time

[darkova]

[There's so much chaos, everyone is yelling and running around and trying to help- he's down a hand and-

All the Metamorph potions drog in a burst of green smoke, Ingway throwing himself on Dazai to try and prevent him getting hit-]
