WEEK 5 TRIAL...?

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

Even though there's no guilty party left alive, The Lady ushers you all upstairs anyway. She looks...odd, her eyes glazed over in an odd manner, her motions a bit sharper than normal.

There's still the box, but for some reason it feels...ominous...?

And though she says nothing, music begins to play in the room...

[purrtagonist]

Yes. . .

It does. Why?

[justfists]

It just worries me for what happens next.

If we're going to vote for someone, we should vote for a variety of factors. If they're volunteering is one.

I'd consider whether they were actually killers, as well.

[which narrows down two of them.]

[resortghosts]

[ A small hand takes hers and squeezes tightly. ]

[justfists]

[she's very sorry for this, Yoshi]

[resortghosts]

[ He keeps holding on, though his grip gets even tighter when Ripley is executed.

Now it's both hands around hers. ]

[justfists]

[and she just looks more distant.]

[purrtagonist]

[oh no]

[oh hell no]

You're not a killer, Makoto.

[justfists]

Akira...

I told you you wouldn't like it.

[purrtagonist]

Don't, Makoto.

[takes a step towards her, his hardened expression wavering]

. . . don't. Please.

[justfists]

[she. shakes her head.

Not yet. She's not doing it yet.]

... Maybe my intuition is wrong.

[purrtagonist]

What is your intuition saying?

[justfists]

That she's well and truly broken. And that she's repeating key moments for some reason.

I don't think this is the only vote we'll cast.

[purrtagonist]

[he'd respond to that]

[but then Ripley gets stabbed and the voting starts anew and--]

[ah]

[justfists]

[and she just. freezes.

stabbing. great.

stabbing is fine, it's not like that's not part of how she killed iwai. it's fine.]

... I see.

[purrtagonist]

[anyway brb your leader is having a bit of a crisis rn. THEY CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS!!]

[justfists]

[she reaches out to him, and takes his hand to squeeze. breathe.

she's completely numb, but she can help steady him.]
