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...

[oh, no. she's. she's definitely broken.]

... Whatever the Outsider is doing, he needs to stop.

He needs to leave.

[swordhandled]

Give him more time! Wait until the last possible second to vote!

[ frantically typing on the tablet as he says this ]

[purrtagonist]

We'll give him as much time as we can, but three people are dead already!

[a bit frantic himself]

[swordhandled]

He knows, but there's something more wrong here than we could have anticipated!

[purrtagonist]

[btw he's. totally snooping on your messages, thanks Owain]

[narrowing his gaze at some of them]

. . . he's such a fucking moron.

But we're counting on him!

[swordhandled]

[ he sighs fondly ]

He tries.

[purrtagonist]

I believe that he tries.

He's still an idiot, though.

[swordhandled]

I've let him know that I won't let anything aside from punching happen to him when he gets out.

[ for the record, the most recent messages are

'keep them calm, I'm working on something'

'I don't know, but hold off until the last moment to vote if you can'

"no wait, don't" "Stop" "they're going to kill you don't tell them" ]

[purrtagonist]

Ichigo, at least, deserves a solid kick to the groin.

[if Ichigo wishes to take it]

[whirlingmace]

[ Climbing up on his back to pat Owain's head. ]

You did really good! Maybe I should graduate you from Seventh Place?

[swordhandled]

To Winner?

[justfists]

No, Owain!

He knows no one out here wants to harm him! Instead he's sending everyone to their deaths!

A-And we've run.... out of volunteers.

[swordhandled]

[ gritting his teeth as ellie volunteers but not going to focus on that ]

Can you blame after knowing how the Foundation treats us? He wants to get us out as much as everyone here wants to leave.

[justfists]

That doesn't make it right!

Tell the Outsider to fucking own up to his mistakes.

[swordhandled]

I plan to make him do so.

[justfists]

No, Owain. Tell him now.

[she can cut an intimidating figure when she wants to.]

[swordhandled]

--Fine.

[ sends a message ]

[maskarang]

... Very well. If you trust him, so do I. I'll hold my vote.

[ gonna hover near owain for the rest of the trial he guesses ]

[swordhandled]

[ lets out a heavy sigh ]

Thank you, Gerome. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you more.

[maskarang]

You owe me nothing, least of all an apology.

[resortghosts]

[ And very suddenly ghostfriend ditches. ]

[justfists]

[she notices immediately]

Yoshi?

[oh wait, now she gets it]

[resortghosts]

[First ghostfirend leaves, but there's another ghost that appears in his place, leaving a quiet but firm hand on her shoulder.]

[justfists]

[who is this new ghost friend?? She looks a little surprised at that.

too many ghost friends trying to stop her from doing what needs to be done.]

... I'm fine.

[resortghosts]

[It is a mystery! But ghostfriend remains there, squeezing her shoulder firmly.]
