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.

That's. . . true. But narrowing it down to the people who took active interest in his sword to talk to him about it is important, too.

[maskarang]

If that's your logic—you misrepresent Cynthia and I's knowledge. We have no need to ask how the sword works. We knew from the start.

Iwai's interest was clear. He seemed to have an interest in weaponry, and that same week I saw him with his own magic sword. I can offer no insights on why Cinque, Tsumugi, or Makoto would be interested.

[purrtagonist]

Thank you for the clarification, then.

. . . and neither do I, honestly.

[dolleyed]

Cinque just likes fighting - and unless you found any glitter at the scene, I doubt she's involved. She was dowsed in it.

[purrtagonist]

Why were you guys covered in glitter, anyway?

[dolleyed]

Because Cinque decided it's party time and went for it before anyone could duck for cover.

[purrtagonist]

Ah.

I hope you guys had a good time at your glitter party.

[ rubs her head against Akira's back.

GLITTER~*~ ]

[purrtagonist]

[HE SPARKLES NOW]

[rosebridled]

Cinque-san played with a glitter bomb.

[purrtagonist]

[with amusement]

Of course she did.

[rosebridled]

She painted our nails, too.

[ Look! They're green, like her eyes! And plants! ]

[purrtagonist]

Can't have a slumber party without painted nails, it's true.

[justfists]

Because we're friends.

[jumpedtheshark]

It’s the kind of sword you would find in an RPG. Why wouldn’t I be interested?

[justfists]

We shouldn't discount that someone who didn't ask him about it may have taken an interest though.

[after all... the medic took an interest in Syazel... and look what that got them...]

It also might help to establish what Owain told those who did ask him.

My conversation with Owain was cursory, I just knew he was impressed with the sword and that he was proud of getting more magic from his mother than he thought he'd had.

We spent more time discussing nuclear power than anything else.

[which. akira would know why.]

[purrtagonist]

[his mouth twitches at that, a small, lopsided smile appearing on his features]

[justfists]

... I had to explain the concept of an atom.

[purrtagonist]

Did he take your lessons well?

[justfists]

I don't think he truly understood, but he got the concept well enough. Owain is secretly rather clever.

[purrtagonist]

And passionate about magic, I presume.

[and Makoto's nuclear abilities are magic]

[justfists]

I didn't ask directly... but I think he was delighted to take after his mother.

[why was makoto interested? because owain is her friend]

[maskarang]

Likely. Owain cares for his family more than anything else.

[purrtagonist]

He must really care about his mother, then.

[it's cute]
