[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.]

[The moment this happens, and most of Dazai's soul goes inside of the robot parts -

There's another frustrated, corrupted, pained shriek as the combination of the rest of the attacks actually injure it, the sound of bones under some kind of sludge breaking.]

FINE!

[The tendril still holding the piece of Dazai's SOUL outside of it suddenly surrounds as much as it can, and...slices away a piece of Dazai's SOUL.

The piece of SOUL is quickly swallowed up by the tendril, which retracts.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

NO! Not again!

Elementary My Dear!

[finalring]

That's the same font as the other time--!!

[dereban]

What?!

Wait, that font from before was -

[...]

Courier?!

[finalring]

Courier new!

[dereban]

C... Could it be, that thing, its name-?!

[finalring]

SCP-8000?! Courier?

[dereban]

Yeah, it might've been a font skeleton, then-!!

[sageking]

...A ridiculous font? Like how those skeletons spoke?

[ because, if so... ]

[le_mat]

Yeah, skeletons are named after fonts- it was the same way for their relatives too!

[finalring]

....We will have to ask them. If we ever get the chance to.

[sageking]

[ Wow what a great time to be pulled into a reset before this conversation could be continued... ]

[white_camellia]

[Well, if it's backing off, then it's time for those magical girl stats to do something.

Nanaka is dashing over to Dazai and bringing out her buffet abomination, because magic food heals souls, which she knows from experience.]

[accessorytomurder]

[She hugs the robot torso to herself protectively, heart pounding, even as she's sick with horror.]

No! Gi-Give that back!

[le_mat]

Dazai-san-!

[Wait, the robot parts... Ren pauses in his purification attempts and attempts to shoot the Grappler at the fleeing tendril]

Not so fast, we're the thieve here, not you!

Re: -!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Aah!

[SHOOTING SAPPHIRE ARROWS AT THE RETRACTING TENDRIL MAYBE SHE CAN KILL IT BEFORE IT GETS AWAY WITH THE PIECE OF SOUL]

Re: -!

[onemolife]

[ He'll go catch Dazai's body, which mean the frozen undead tiger is just going to keep fighting on it's own while it dethaws ]

[cw_suicide]

[yeah he is... not available at the moment and will need catching]

Re: -!

[justonezero]

Dazai!

[homeecspacecop]

Wings!!

[They try diving at that tentacle, but they aren't fast enough before it retracts.]

DARKNESS FALLS

TIME TO

RELOAD

[The attacks go towards the tendril -

everyone is screaming and shouting -

without warning

darkness falls, and they are pulled -]
