WEEK 1 || act: indict

[foundationmods]

[Saturday dawns, bright and early again - and Undyne comes to the inn, flanked by the Royal Guard...all of the Dogs in the area, in their armor or uniforms.

You all only have enough time to get ready - wash yourselves, put on your masks and clothing - before you're ushered out, guarded so heavily that it's clear they expect trouble. Monsters on the way watch you warily, whispering and either looking angry or shocked.

It's clear they no longer have such kind thoughts of you, after what happened.

You're all lead out past Snowdin and Waterfall, into an area that's hot, and the glow of subterranian lava lights the area. Then, past a large hotel...into an area that looks metallic, where some kind of whitish, rainbow-gleaming liquid can be seen below.

In this area, you are led to a wider platform that is still open to the liquid before, with the handrails in place - where there are some seats around, and a familiar face waiting to speak with you.

This...for all of you, it is a familiar sight.

It is a trial location.

You are here to find the killer...and convict one of your own, in a murder that makes no sense.

But you have no choice.

You can only forge ahead....and try to find out the truth.]

VICTIM: HIMEKO INABA

[After Toriel speaks, Undyne is the one who steps forward. She is addressing Toriel, however, not the people below. It looks like she has someone with her too, though it's hard to see exactly who at the moment, as they are hidden in shadows.]

1,000 years? I think you're forgetting something pretty important, my queen. Don't you remember that child and the lives they took 500 years ago?

Monsters don't kill monsters. HUMANS kill monsters.

[And that is when she grabs Moriarty by the collar and tosses him down to where everyone else is.]

You're a suspect too, human. So you better argue why it's not you, and argue well.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

GH-?!

[And he's yeeted down, landing and grabbing his back before giving a quick, stressed sigh.]

...I see....very well. ...I suppose there's nothing for it but to begin.

[finalring]

[ once he's down with the rest of them, solomon will give him a quick, regretful look. ]

I'm sorry you had to be involved in this as well.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

No, it is only to be expected. I am the only human here...and Undyune is rather...

[He trails off, but just. gives her a look before nodding.]

I can assist you, at the very least.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Are you all right?

[Strong fish lady was kind of rough with you just now!]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[He waves it off with a short laugh.]

Yes, I am fine - not to worry! I've suffered worse.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Relieved sigh.]

[foundationmods]

...Actually, why is the Robot Monster not among you? Where is she?

[THINK FAST, KIDS.]

[soupervillain]

Maybe she's sick...? You know, a virus?

[sageking]

[ Before he could even come up with something else, here was their cover story, he supposed. ]

Ah yes, I seem to recall her acting unwell. It'd make sense that she wouldn't be able to attend us given her infliction of a virus.

[foundationmods]

I'll have a guard go collect her, then.

[She signals to one of the dog guards, who nods and steps out of the area.]

[whirlingmace]

[ After she sends the guard out, robot will come in. ]

I'm here I'm here! Sorry I'm late...

[ She has no idea what excuse they provided so they might have to think fast before she contradicts them. ]

[cw_suicide]

AH! SO THE ANTIVIRUS AND DEFRAGGING WORKED? THAT'S WONDERFUL!

[whirlingmace]

That's right! I'm still feeling pretty drained from it though... I might stay in low energy mode for a while. I'm sorry I won't be able to help much.

[ She's a sophisticated surface machine. You don't know her life ]
