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.

[ 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?

[whirlingmace]

My cape. [ Turning around to show it. ] You were being really cute and embarrassed with Inalin.

[purrtagonist]

Moogie?

Is that Yoshi?

[whirlingmace]

[ Shaking her head ]

Tsumugi was making hoodies and told me about an idea that sounded really cute. So she offered to make it for me. It's different from Yoyo's.

[jumpedtheshark]

A Monomi hoodie! The end result looked plain cute on Cinque-san!

[purrtagonist]

[his mouth twitches into a smile]

I think a bunny hood suits you pretty well.

Do you like mimicking other people?

[whirlingmace]

It has shorter ears and it's pink.

[ She tilts her head before shaking her head. ]

I played dress up because Gerbear does it to be strong and you do it to face something. I wanted to be strong, too. I feel really alone here and I don't want anyone else to feel like that.

[purrtagonist]

[HE FEELS LIKE A TOOL FOR ASKING THIS??]

That's-- . . . really kind of you, actually.

[whirlingmace]

Sataling... I wouldn't pick Owain if I had to pick someone to frame. I love him a lot and it would make me sad if he dies.

[purrtagonist]

[. . .]

It wouldn't be Cinque picking, would it? It'd be the monster possessing her.

[BUT. . . THAT SAID]

Is there a reason you chose drowning as last week's execution method?

[whirlingmace]

[ Flinches at that. That brings back a lot of sad thoughts. ]

I heard that dogs don't like baths... So I thought...

[purrtagonist]

[HE HATES THIS!!]

Okay.

[. . .]

I want to make something really clear, though.

Cinque is my friend.

[whirlingmace]

I know you are, Sataling. I'm not possessed.

[purrtagonist]

[reaches out to touch her shoulder lightly]

I really hope you aren't.

[whirlingmace]

[ She reaches to put her hand over his to give it a squeeze. ]

[rosebridled]

I think it's Shirogane-san?

[ helpfully holds up profile on tablet! ]

It kind of looks like Moogle.

[whirlingmace]

It does! I really like the sound of it. The staff came up with it.

[rosebridled]

It's cute.

[jumpedtheshark]

The Staff have good taste in nicknames when they try.

[purrtagonist]

[ha]

I do know she likes Moogles. Her room is full of them.

[jumpedtheshark]

No, umm.... Moogie is me, Kurusu-kun.

[purrtagonist]

Oooooh. Moogie-- Tsumugi? I get it, now.
