WEEK 3 - TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

The morning seemed so far away yesterday - yet, it also seems too soon when morning comes and you are all yet again ushered to the third floor by The Lady. The Captain is there, in all of his....wait, no, he's asleep.

The doors close, and...nothing happens. There's still the box labeled 'VOTES' in his lap on the couch, but...

On the table is a letter, that reads 'Only one person may be voted for execution this week. Please figure out who that will be during the time limit.'

As you finish reading that, music begins to play in the room...


VICTIM: SHIROU EMIYA, HIMEKO INABA, AND MUNEHISA IWAI

23 GUESTS REMAIN.

[Hey, Aoi. You know morse code, right? Well, She'll be hearing some taps:


- ... ..- -. -.. . .-. . --. ..- -- ---]

[latebluemer]

... Huh?

[She does understand Morse but she's totally not sure she parsed that correctly.]

Tsunderegumo...? Did I get that right?

[resortghosts]

[More taps:

-.-- . ...]

[latebluemer]

... I can't tell if that's referring to the Jorogumo's relationship with you or something, Inaba-san. Is it like the Barghest and Nanashi?

[She's pretty sure it's Inaba, since she hasn't heard of any of the other ghosts or newly-ghosts learning Morse.]

[resortghosts]

[Her question is followed up with... no response, actually.]

[latebluemer]

Maybe you can't say. It's okay, though. We'll figure this out.

[She's not sure if they're going to be able to catch the Jorogumo, but they're going to give this their best shot.]

[resortghosts]

[The taps that follows are simple:

- .... .- -. -.- / -.-- --- ..-]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

You got it right... the Jorogumo is a Tsundere?

[latebluemer]

And it has something to do with the strange markings on the body? I'm not sure.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Uh... is that supposed to mean something?

[latebluemer]

... Should I explain what a tsundere is, Schwarzer-kun?

[She's. Honestly not sure?? This is kind of common terminology where she comes from but it's not like she's a person who uses it normally.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

Sure. Anything relevant would help.

[Even if he's pretty sure it's not that critical because it was allowed to be transmitted but... it can't hurt.]

[latebluemer]

Well... It's someone who acts angry and cold to cover up if they like someone. I think it's usually used in romances, but it can come up in friendships too. [...] The only thing I can think of is that it might have something to do with the relationship Inaba-san has with the Jorogumo's possessed.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Uh. That's a really specific term... but angry and cold, huh.]

There aren't really that many people here who fit that description, are there?

[latebluemer]

I'm not sure. I think it might fit a couple of people, but I wouldn't say I'm an expert...

[Like Inaba. And apparently Ichigo?? And... who knows, there's a lot, but a bunch of them are ghosts so she's not sure it helps.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

Well, it's something to keep in mind as we move forward, I guess. It'd be pretty hard to ask about it anyways, considering it's... kind of a private thing.
