[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.]

I'd be pink.

[Yes, she just knows that off the top of her head.]

[ugly_split_ends]

...Not that it matters.

[justonezero]

So it's Mikado-palette me!

[le_mat]

My Smash alts are pretty decent.

[foundationmods]

....

then
I

will ask you


[[Are you sure you want to cheat?]]

[dereban]

They should have been using the Masuda Method instead of resetting.

... Unless we're somehow Legendaries, now?

[homeecspacecop]

[GOOD JOB YOSHI!!!]

[improbablenotimpossible]

I don't have recolors.

[Why did that person get an alternative costume and he doesn't?]

[le_mat]

...

Oh Dog all the Jokers are Masuda breeding.

[oceanicbutterfly]

In fact, if this is a "trial," it's only natural that we would ask for testimony from witnesses.

You mean like how you're out in the open, where we can ask you questions?

[She's got you there.]

[cw_suicide]

[.......... hmmm...

pulling out his reversi stone.]

Will we Bad End if we cheat?

[y/n, stone?]

[sageking]

[ Well.

He'll raise a brow at this, and pour himself something to drink. ]

How impudent of you to phrase such a question in that way.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I can't even tell whether that's English or Japanese.

[dereban]

... do you think it's like that for all 6350 dupes?

[foundationmods]

[It lands on black.]

So that's a "no" to Bad Ending.

[le_mat]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[dereban]

Looks like we have no reason not to now, huh.

[finalring]

I'm not sure if it's criticizing us or...

[ the narrator feels her sins crawling up her back. ]

[cw_suicide]

I'm trying not to think too hard about it except "black means no".

[white_camellia]

...I still feel this is a bad idea, but...

I have already concluded that I shall not get in the way of everyone;s decisions on these matters.

[finalring]

We might as well. The only thing is whether we asked the correct question or not. And our actions after we do this may influence our "ending" as well.

[onemolife]

Not necessarily. It says bad ending, but what counts as the ending?
