[CONTINUE] 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 looking 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.

You know where this is.

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.]

...?

[ oh--?

that is an interesting take. ]

Could you elaborate?

[homeecspacecop]

[Oh. Chuuta was just floating an idea, he wasn't expecting anyone to try and follow up.]

Well... if someone suddenly woke up and discovered that their clothing was muddy, wouldn't they clean it? Especially now, when it would be evidence that they were used to kill someone.

[finalring]

....Ah.

[ he doesn't like this idea! there's a flash of worry in his expression before it settles down to something more neutral, turning to wwx with a calm expression. ]

Do you remember what happened when you woke up yesterday?

[onemolife]

The first time I woke up was when Dazai left to go investigate. I didn't get up out of bed and wound up going back to sleep. Woke up again when we heard who it was that died,. which is when I went to make breakfast for those two.

[ Because they ate pot cookies ]

[cw_suicide]

Wei Wuxian's largely stayed in Snowdin because of the dogs...

[but also now he's staring at WWX because oh no.]

[onemolife]

I'm pretty sure I haven't been any where else besides Snowdin and the Ruins this week. I almost went towards the waterfall, but that's when Undyne had that cake...

[ and he wound up chased by a dog ]

[cw_suicide]

... what about when I came back from getting the rest of those cookies? I ran into Sensei that time, and it was pretty late...

[onemolife]

After getting um... talked to by you and Hitoka, I decided it was best to stay at the Inn. Didn't want to get into more trouble.

[ Can't get in trouble if you stay in one place right ]

[cw_suicide]

So, in short, there's zero reason for your clothes to have mud on them. You never went to the Waterfalls, and you also got a pretty stern lecture from Hitoka.

The fact that there is no mud doesn't mean anything with these facts.

[onemolife]

I uh. Also haven't washed my robes in the last couple of days.

[ Just in case. And also that can be work. ]

[cw_suicide]

[giving him a solid karate chop]

Wash your clothes!

[onemolife]

[ He'll wash them later... ]

[onemolife]

[ Thinks about the time he stayed in bloodied robes for a few days... ]

I'm not really a fan of letting others take the fall for me though. If I did something, whether I'm under the influence of another or not, then I'd face it.

[homeecspacecop]

Or maybe you got cleaned up while you were still being controlled.

[onemolife]

That would make it hard to prove then. Might need to keep it in mind, while looking for other evidence.

[homeecspacecop]

We can't eliminate you from the list just because your clothes were clean. That's all I meant. [Please don't think he's like, directly accusing you.]
