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...

Suicidal Talk

[imstuck]

[Phil stares at Snake's burning body in horror, then:]

... Alright.

[He stares right at everyone]

I don't wanna hear any of this moral shit. I don't care if "I should live because it's not wrong to vote for death"!

I fucking want everyone to vote for me. Right now. I refuse to be alive while everyone I care about dies a horrible death.

[CAN YALL STOP DYING FOR 5 SECONDS MEDIC IS HAVING A GHOST HEART ATTACK]

[imstuck]

[SORRY MEDIC!!!]

[whirlingmace]

[ She's crying because Snake... but she will walk over to put a hand on his arm. ]

I know... I know you're lonely. I'm not going to argue against it. Take care of Snakie over there, okay?

[imstuck]

[Phil rests a hand on Cinque's, and offers her a weak, sad smile.]

Thanks kid.

You... take care of that monster in your head or whatever's going on there.

[whirlingmace]

I will. I can stay with you until it's time, okay?

[ So he won't be alone waiting for the votes or the lady to act ]

[imstuck]

[Phil actually seems a little shocked by this act of kindness.]

...

That would be great, actually.

Thank you.

[whirlingmace]

[ Giving a nod, and just going to keep her hand on him. ]

If you want ,you can tell me about them. About what's fun about dating them and what you want to do with them after we get out of here.

[ Let's talk about what comes next ]

[imstuck]

[Phil smiles softly.]

When I first me them, I was just happy to find new people to seduce. [Phil maybe don't... use that word...] But as time when on, I realized I loved them. I guess living so long in a time loop made me desperately crave interactions that people will remember.

The first person I really had a connection with was Medic, I think. When I got gored the first week, Medic helped patch me up and, well... one thing lead to another.

... You know the first time we kissed he accidentally sent me into strange autobiographical trance.

[What.]

[whirlingmace]

[ It's cool. ]

That all sounds really wonderful. [ It sounds romantic to her at least. But... ]

An autobiographical trance? Is that something he can do?

[imstuck]

Technically no, they're supposed to put you in a movie themed trance but for some reason it just showed me my life in the time loop.

... I eventually got out, evidently. Not that it would do me much good now.

[whirlingmace]

[ Oh no. ]

At least you both got a lot of practice now to keep that from happening again.

[ So.... all good? Hopefully. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

W-well... if you say so...

[As long as it's not Vanitas, Roxas, Cinque, Blue Angel, Owain, or herself being voted for, tbh.]

[latebluemer]

Snake-san...

[She's approached as close as she can to the box before the heat of the contained flames and the... immolation... force her to turn back and put her face into her hands. She didn't want any of this and there's nothing she can do to stop it. Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes.

She looks up at Phil, wiping her eyes.]

Are you all going to go like this?

[imstuck]

I'm the least useful of the bunch, aren't I? It's only fair if I volunteer.

[latebluemer]

I don't think that's true, Connors-san. Without you, we would still be dealing with the Barghest. Can you imagine that?

[She doesn't actually want to imagine that. God.]

[imstuck]

[He gives out a dry laugh.]

I guess so. At least I could do something useful before I go out.

But beyond that I'm sure you guys can do perfectly fine without me. I would probably just hold you all back.

[latebluemer]

I don't agree with that. The less means you have, the more creative you have to get. I'm not going to vote for you because you're useless, Connors-san, and I don't think that anyone else is thinking that, either.

[maskarang]

... Fine. This once—and only this once—I'll vote for a volunteer. [ but he still thinks they need a better method ]

[imstuck]

Thank you for not trying to argue.

[He really is thankful, despite it all.
