[CONTINUE + 4] week 1 || act: indict

[foundationmods]

[Saturday dawns, bright and early again. No one comes to the Inn, but you feel compelled to go to the Core anyway.

It's as if you're forced to. As if....it's inescapable. Puppets, forced to dance where their strings lead.

You make the walk past everything, until you are directly in the Core, 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....surrounded by a sea of entirely gray faces, no Monsters to be seen.

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.]

Ohhh, I get it. And of course, you immediately assume the serial killer who just happens to use scissors could've done it. Uweeeheheee.

[She smacks her lips, shaking her head.]

I'll show you, with one understanding... My scissors are my scissors. No one touches them, unless it's when I'm introducing them to that person. By means of stabbing them someplace they'd probably rather not be stabbed.

Just so we're clear? You can look, but no touch. Hell, if I am the killer, I'll just tell you!

[soupervillain]

...Oh my god, that would be awesome.

I mean, not the murdering part. That would be. Bad. But the rest.

[finalring]

It's fine, it's fine! No need to get embarrassed--you're a good person, and that's nothing to be embarrassed over.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Casual, huh.

[ugly_split_ends]

[stage whisper] It's the masochist in him.

[le_mat]

To be fair we're checking my dagger and tools too.

But that's fine, just make sure to open them enough that we can see all the little nooks and crannies.

[romancekiller]

Yeah I would count as single too. [ her love life is a disaster okay ]

[ugly_split_ends]

Top ten whats-it?

[cw_suicide]

You don't say!

[le_mat]

Don't tell people weird things!!

[dereban]

Hottest people in our group.

[ugly_split_ends]

Ahahahaha! You were expecting to go spelunking, I-my-me??

[That said, she does reach under her skirt to pull out her thigh-scissors]

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't know, I think she's right.

[le_mat]

Y-yeah!

[le_mat]

[He snorts, refusing to respond to THAT- he learned his lesson last time]

[finalring]

Pass.

[oceanicbutterfly]

"He who fights monsters," as they say.

[ugly_split_ends]

You didn't say it was wrong! Ahahahahahaha!

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's certainly a way to describe it.

[cw_suicide]

Compelling evidence...

[accessorytomurder]

[Hitoka has her medical supplies, pepper srpay, note-taking supplies, her swiss army knife, and other assorted things she's collected as gifts.

Is anything missing?]

[white_camellia]

That being said... I assumed you were single as well? Are you not?

[I mean, you had to ask if we had any single people, after all.]

[ugly_split_ends]

[If those are clean, she'll discreetly takes out a third pair as well, just to be sure.]

[accessorytomurder]

Osamu?

[Look at those big doe eyes, that sweet, gentle tone...]

Pots and kettles.

[homeecspacecop]

Or anyone he interacted with a lot. It's probably easier to write two characters at once than to write with someone else.
