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.

[annnnd after laying out his theory about a monster turning into Owain, after Katherine brings up the word "doppelganger". . .]

Cinque-san?

Can I ask you a few questions?

[theycallhimmrpchan]

Are you implying something?

[He asks - his voice taking on a flinty edge]

[purrtagonist]

No.

[affixes a steely gaze on Ryoga, not backing down]

I'm not implying anything.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He doesn't back down either, but he had to admit he respect Akira's steeliness, even if he does not like what he might be saying here]

[purrtagonist]

[Akira doesn't like it either, but now that the third monster's transformation abilities has been brought up. . .]

[he can't just ignore what he's observed]

[whirlingmace]

[ She nods. ]

Anything, Sataling.

[purrtagonist]

[for a moment, he wavers]

[and then he shakes his head and continues]

Who else have you dressed up as since you've been here? Me, and. . .?

[whirlingmace]

Gerbear. I also played with Blueski's clothes. [ A beat ] Oh and Moogie made me a bunny hood.

[moonlightbeast]

You pulled a blanket or something up around you when I was hiding in my sweatshirt too, didn't you?

[purrtagonist]

Moogie?

Is that Yoshi?

[swordhandled]

Akira... what are you going to ask?

[he has a feeling but he doesn’t want to be right]

[purrtagonist]

I'm not making any accusations.

[LISTEN, AKIRA ALSO DOESN'T WANT TO BE RIGHT]

[swordhandled]

You’re not, but you have an idea.

[purrtagonist]

I want to clear some things up.

[he says evenly, voice full of steel]

That's all.

[latebluemer]

... Akira-kun.

[Her brows are drawing way, way down, but she's just staring at him.]

You should know that Cinque was with us last night. There was a way to track all of us in the resort.

[purrtagonist]

The glitter, right? I know.

[don't worry, he was thinking about that, too]

I'm not making any accusations at all.

[latebluemer]

[Her eyes narrow, but as long as he's acknowledging that -- then she's going to see where this line of questioning leads. And work on other solutions, of course.]

As long as you know.

[purrtagonist]

Mmm.

[he gives her a gracious nod, head bowing slightly more than what is strictly necessary]

[enter_the_darkness]

When you all passed out at midnight, like most of us... right?

[latebluemer]

Of course we couldn't stay awake after midnight, but everyone in my room at the time was covered in glitter. That stuff is impossible to get out. That's how we could be tracked that night.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He cocks his head to the side. ]

But if someone can change forms thoroughly enough, they could shift into one that isn't covered in glitter, to avoid tracking it...

[jumpedtheshark]

.... Be gentle, Kurusu-kun.

[Just... sideying all of this.]

[purrtagonist]

Of course.

[and he is being gentle! as gentle as he can be]

Cinque is my friend.

[13thpromise]

Akira...

[ ...he'll just look at him carefully. There's no accusations yet so any protests aren't forthcoming, but at the same time...his gaze shifts over to Cinque. ]

[purrtagonist]

[Akira looks pretty uncomfortable about this too, actually!!]

[but he gives Roxas a firm nod]
