[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.]

[ time to start making a snow wall between Snowdin and the Waterfall ]

[A deep breath as she listens to those words, and then speaks up, a little calmer now:]

I assume you're talking about it in the proverbial sense, because I sure can't actually fight for shit.

Then again - you already saw that, didn't you? All of those times. I guess you can say it's in my nature, hm? Maybe I should be thanking someone a little for that.

[finalring]

No, I will not.

[ he sounds just as serious as her. ]

If I see that you are about to risk your life for vengeance, I will stop you. Even if you hate me for the rest of your life.

[accessorytomurder]

There have been a lot of question marks from the start. We were just... I-I can't remember why, but we were being very careful not to tip our hand to anyone, both before and after we discovered this thing.

[foundationmods]

[ why did that just give him one hell of a flashback to the times azrael and raziel didn't take animal forms. ]

Well isn't that nice. So this isn't even your final form?

[le_mat]

Oh yeah? I mean, we kinda guessed that was what you were into. If we just went along with everything it'd be a little boring.

[dereban]

If it does, then sure, that's fine by me.

[sageking]

...Though, with there being a pair of footprints present close together, that would indicate to me he was walking nearby the other person. Wouldn't he have noticed his accompanying person's state, due to the telltale sign of possession?

[cw_suicide]

Right?

My thought... one that doesn't make sense at all and yet...






Has this been the reality of it the whole time?

[gesturing at all the gray beings standing where monsters used to in earlier weeks.]

[dereban]

[Well then.]

Ahh, is that so? Then I should thank you for the warning.

[justonezero]

I went to the clothing store. There was a trail leading from the inn to the store, but it got kicked up, so I couldn't tell anything about foot size. Inside of the store was an outfit lying in a pile just inside, like someone just threw it. Oh, um, there was also some snow tracked in, and the outfit was varying colors and sizes for some reason? And it was all damp. It was soaked around the arms and legs.

[homeecspacecop]

They might have both been possessed.

[sageking]

Hmph. Either way, I wonder if he had the chance to leave his 'mark' in some sort of way before he met his death.

[accessorytomurder]

I don't... I don't know. Maybe... maybe it just took parts away from them, like with the spider?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Were you going to say something else before you had to borrow that voice? I didn't want you to forget.

[sageking]

Hmph, it would explain why someone who was relatively experienced wouldn't act right from the start.

[ He sneered ]

How desperate this creature must be in order to use such a cowardly tactic.

[cw_suicide]

That's possible...

[finalring]

We are.

[ that much is obvious at least. so much for running away. ]

Do you think that it wants a culprit, or the culprit?

[dereban]

... I think that is the strangest thing I've heard today.

[Someone? Liking her outside this group? Excuse you?]

[le_mat]

Oh, so that confirms that theory.

[cw_suicide]

[frooownniiing.]

It's definitely learning from these trials.
