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.

[ Vanitas might be volunteering for tribute, but he'll try dodging that punch, his eyes narrowed, gaze firm. ]

So, nobody else gets a say, then, Magistrate Roxas?


Heh... so even you'd let that power go to your head. Of course.

[13thpromise]

[ He'll shake his head, especially as Cinque speaks up. ]

You're wrong. I actually listen to what people have to say.

[ Then...he tilts his head, laughing a little and it's kind of a weak one. Not one full of mirth. ]

I just don't listen to a bum who's trying to do a stupid, senseless sacrifice. That's different.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He glares. ]

That's not what this is!

[13thpromise]

Then what is it?

[ That is certainly a snap in his voice ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He grits his teeth... ]

You wouldn't get it. Even if I try to explain, you won't get it.

[13thpromise]

I'm sure I'm not going to get it if you don't explain.

[ Sorry he's really not in the mood right now, Vani. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ His exhale is tense, and then he's giving a bitter laugh. It's around this time, all the other stuff is happening, maybe???? ]

Then, I guess you'll just never understand it, won't you?

[13thpromise]

[ He's so...fed up with this... ]

Do you really think it's going to always be that simple? With you being like "no one can understand and even if I do no one can't" because that just doesn't make sense to me, you know that?

[ Roxas is just so frustrated with him right now, and he can't even think straight because of his own personal feelings. Love makes things so complicated on top of everything else. ]

I really want to understand, I really do. But maybe I'd also want you to just understand why I don't want you to die! Because it's sounding like to me you're the one who can't even understand that!

[enter_the_darkness]

[ One hand curls into a fist, but he's quiet until the end... ]

... I can't.

[ Understand that, he means. ]

[13thpromise]

...

[ He falls silent at that instead, but he didn't feel like he expected anything else.

Still, he wondered why bother saying things when he knew the result? But...the heart and the mind were imperfect, weren't they? Even for someone like him, and so he'll turn his back and leave it for now. ]
