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

Hey, if I had a guess, I'd have said so! I've got my pride as a professional here, and I ain't given you speculation unless I'm confident I'm right.

All I can say is the stab wounds looked off. I can't say why or even 'how' exactly.

Hey, maybe we can recreate it?

[le_mat]

...that's not a bad idea, actually.

[Ren???]

[oceanicbutterfly]

No!

[ren what the fuck]

[le_mat]

Look, it's just if we hit a road block! I can heal from anything as long as it doesn't kill me outright.

[cw_suicide]

[.................... this look.

when this guy is judging you for a thing, you know it's dumb]

[le_mat]

Fine fine, I'm kidding!

[Are you Ren, are you?]

[cw_suicide]

[X TO DOUBT]

[ugly_split_ends]

[Friendly wave to Dazai.]

[cw_suicide]

[... hi]

[ugly_split_ends]

Ahahahahahahaha! Give me some credit too! I may not have morals, but I have standards!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Nobody is stabbing anyone!

[ugly_split_ends]

Tech~ni~cally, someone already did! You know, to the poor victim.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Nobody asked you!

[ugly_split_ends]

HmmmmmmMMmmmmm...

[Tilts her head, then tilts her head the other way.]

You're sorta cute, I guess... but, I ain't stabbing you until your lungs are punctured and your heart gets torn open. Feels like something the group might frown upon.

Though, is it really murder when the person consents? That's a mystery! Ahahahahaha!

[le_mat]

Sort of cute? Wow, excuse me- I'm a 9 at least?

[He nods]

And yeah that... might not go over well with the Queen either.

[ugly_split_ends]

No way! You're maybe one level above 'average-cute'.

[... She'll lean closer, staring him down.]

I think you also need to consider the needs of your partner. It's not going to be much fun for me if you get up and I watch you walking and talking later. Kyehehehehe.

[le_mat]

... valid.

[Even Ren has to lean back from Shou getting in his space. Yeah, second thoughts all around]

[ugly_split_ends]

Ahahaha! Really, now, I-my-me! If we're gonna recreate anything, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to just stab the victim's body a little more?

Can't kill a corpse, after all!

[le_mat]

I don't think Atsushi would let you do that to... Aoi. Even if she's already dead.

[ugly_split_ends]

Probably! He's kinda a doormat.

But, hey, don't act like I want to. I wish I had a better explanation for what made those stab marks seem off, too.
