[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.]

[Oh! Well now he can only see her numbers, so.]

Red-!

[DAZAI'S IN DANGER!! 8C]

[backspacing]

Don't look at it.

There's other things to look at here.

[She's nodding over to the grey beings. They might be safer than the Abyss.]

[justonezero]

[Turning to look and- ah.

Time to stare down the grey beings. Reveal to him your secrets!]

[foundationmods]

[They're all fragments of monster souls.

Some of them look familiar. Their names escape your mind like sand flowing through your fingers, but you get the sense that you should know who they are.

They are largely confused, trying to reach out but not really seeing each other. Some don't even realize what has happened to them.

But they're all here. They're in pieces, but they're here.]

[justonezero]

[!!!]

They're still there! Their souls are still there!

[finalring]

What are the state of their souls?!

[justonezero]

They're all in pieces! I... I don't think they know what's going on!

[le_mat]

We have to try and free them!

[justonezero]

Is there something we can do?!

[improbablenotimpossible]

I might find the solution for it - but that means I will have to take my gaze off that thing for a moment...

[sageking]

Hmph, don't forget the capability of your allies. If you need to do something, then do it. Don't waste your time foolishly worrying over nothing.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Hmpf - Almost forgot how ridiculous your Noble Phantasm is, King of Heroes.

[Can he see how best to free the monsters?]

[le_mat]

Call out to them, talk to them-! Anyone who has purifying magic try that... but if nothing else try to reach their SOULs with your own-!

Give them HOPE-!

[finalring]

King Gilgamesh doesn't have an A+ Charisma stat for nothing! Tell him to help!

[oceanicbutterfly]

I--

[OH THAT'S HER ISN'T IT]

Right!

[TIME TO...

Hm. She isn't really used to doing this without beating people up.

Time to HOLD SOME GRAY PEOPLE'S HANDS?]

[finalring]

Ren! Can you purify the pieces of their soul from the presence of SCP-8000?!

[le_mat]

I'm trying!
