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.

. . .

Can you tell me everything you did Thursday night? I know you said you were with Gerome-san, but I want exact details.

[maskarang]

No.

[swordhandled]

Gerome!

[purrtagonist]

You're not Owain.

[STARES AT HIM POINTEDLY]

[maskarang]

I give you my word he didn't leave my sight. You don't need to know more than that.

[purrtagonist]

Do you want to clear his name or not, Gerome-san?

[maskarang]

If details could protect him, I'd spare none. But they can do nothing for you that my word alone cannot.

[purrtagonist]

Details bolster both his story and yours. Make it more believable. The more you hide, the more suspicious you become.

[maskarang]

Suspect me, then, but not him. It's my privacy I wish to keep.

[purrtagonist]

[squints at them both. . .]

. . . all right.

[justfists]

Gerome, please trust us.

I want nothing more than to clear Owain's name, too.

[maskarang]

You ask me to trust you but give none in return. If my word on needing more is irrelevant, why should I expect it to matter when I do give details?

[ Owain already gave them, though. ]

[justfists]

Because we've already seen the barghest, at the very least, attempt to manipulate perception on his word alone. Details matter.

[swordhandled]

I bathed with Minerva and spent the night with him. Any other details are just... extra.

[dolleyed]

Were you fucking, yes or no? Stop wasting our time by being evasive.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . . . . .]

That isn't the question I was asking.

[dolleyed]

That's the question that presented itself.

[ Wide shrug. ]

[justfists]

[what is it with you and fucking, Kohaku.

she's curious but she's at least discrete]

[swordhandled]

We didn't consummate our relationship on Thursday, no.

[ just you know. have our first kiss ]

[resortghosts]

[shoulder tap]

[justfists]

And you both fell asleep?

[filing away the other info for nosiness later]

[swordhandled]

We did, yes.

[ SPARE ME ]

[resortghosts]

[muffled spooky "bow chika bow wwooowwww" and lewd moaning]

[purrtagonist]

[resortghosts]

[spooky laughing!!]
