Week 6, Saturday

[foundationmods]

[After a tense night and a quiet morning, everyone will get an email at 11 am. The email comes straight from MC.]

Meet me in the studio at noon.

[It's probably best to follow those instructions.

When they get to the studio, they will find that twelve podiums have been arranged in a semi-circle on the stage. Each person can take whichever one they want, they aren't assigned.

There is the box of prinny jurors once more, but this time the twelve prinnies seated there might look familiar. In addition, there is a new spot next to the prinnies where a single stool behind a small table is left empty.

Given that the seat John used previously is taken up by MC, John looks at the group awkwardly before going to sit on that stool.

It's time to begin the final trial.]

[ Ozaki’s lips thin as he watches, more or less powerless outside of listening or talking. “Ruled by stagnation until a ‘great folly’” is a very relatable feeling.

He was not one for mercy to those whom exerted power and caused harm to those in his care, but those words cause him to speak up from his place on this battle ground.

> talk!]

If you used your power to take away our option for mercy, couldn’t we use our power to force “mercy” by taking away the attack option?

[duskhound]

...Oh! That's great!

[Now how do we... Do that...?]

[arraignments]

[ ... That's a good point. What if he starts trying to, uh. WILL IT AWAY, ROFL??? ]

[darkremnants]

[ maybe with enough determination bullshit.

or keyblade it? ]

[darkova]

...I had not considered that.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[...]

Do you think... we could attack their fight option the way they attacked our mercy one?

[hematocritic]

That would be my best guess for ending this quickly, before someone gets seriously hurt.

[houndumb]

So we're goin' to break the broken videogame menu.

[There's a snort from Nora's end.]

Figures it'd take somebody who doesn't know shit about games. Lemme at 'em!!

[CAN HE USE THIS SPEAR FINALLY LET HIM LIVE]

[oceanicbutterfly]

It seems like your time has come, Nora-san.

[hematocritic]

[if you don’t know how video games work, you can’t act like there’s limits (what do you mean it doesn’t work like that) ]

[iblistriggered]

... You're a genius, doc!

[Silver will wait to see what the pie does... but then he's going to see if he can use a psychic knife attack on the button itself]

[dereban]

[ 🤔 ]

. . . That's not a bad idea.

[foundationmods]

And how are you going to do that, exactly? You can't just-

[And then MC gets pie in the mouth. Excuse him, he needs to chew on that for a moment. The nostalgia at eating snail pie is making him tear up a bit.

But hey, there's your opening to break the fight button.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[>Fight >FIGHT THAT FIGHT BUTTON.

A simple mental image of the button shattering is all Saki needs.]

[darkremnants]

[ TIME TO BREAK IT.

>Fight

He's going to summoning his keyblade to strike the FIGHT BUTTON. Sorry, no flash here. ]

[darkova]

[Ingway tosses his bag over to the button]

AIM FOR THE BAG

[Oh god Ingway don't blow up the whole menu????]

[duskhound]

[Fight -> Fight Button

...She never actually thought she would be using her actual magic today, but she still has it anyways... Time to use that scepter to shoot a Firebird at the Fight Button!]

[houndumb]

[Okay, so the best option is probably spear?? The best option is probably spear. But also, he's been fucking dying to get a hit in on literally anything at this point, so magic is looking good too. Spear? Magic?? How about both.

As he winds up to throw, his spear wreaths itself in fire, an attack that he's never made before -- it's aimed directly at the bag that Ingway's tossed over. But hey, learning more magic's always been the name of the game.

Evolution, change, revolution.]

FUCKIN' EAT THIS, YA STUPID THING!

[iblistriggered]

Here we go!

[TIME TO FUCK SHIT UP.

specifically, THAT ATTACK BUTTON.

It's metaphysical, so Silver's psychic knife attack is probably better than Galahad's sword. He floats into the air and glows brightly, then swings his arms across his chest, unleashing a glowing aqua attack in the shape of an "X"]

[failsaw]

[and while he's distracted, time to kick that fight button. Giriko's got her chainsaw blades up on her leg, but she's mostly putting her soul's wavelength into the kick, which gives the attack some range, tearing up the "ground" as the energy from her soul goes to shred that button. Take that..... fighting option.....

.....


how did we even get here]

[visionem]

We can do whatever is in our power, that is the strength of free will.

[ Fight> Fight Button

He could toss spells at it, but it seems much more satisfying right now to just spawn numerous tendrils to go right through the button. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen's been going nonlethal all game for obvious reasons, so this is the first time any of you have seen her summon water droplets to surround her, and sweep her hand over them, causing them to form into a coherent arc...]

Pretty Cure...

[..and then into a bow, with several ice-tipped water arrows ready to fire.]

Sapphire Arrow!

[And fire them she does, the arrows creating giant blue butterfly shapes as they impact the FIGHT button.]

[scarsnstripes]

[You know what, this is about as valid an option as anything they've got right now.

He'll quickly transform his arms, landing a heavy punch on the button.

....And then he sees Ingway throw his back and he's ducking back and out of the way because let's not get exploded!!!]

[dereban]

[ yeah Inaba is stepping the hell back from y'all so she is not dealing with any aftermath from all of this

and especially since she does still have her nullification on ]

[hematocritic]

[Time to sit back and watch the people with actual fighting abilities do their thing, hopefully satisfactorily.]
