FINAL TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

After a very, very long six weeks, it has finally come. The last time everyone will need to trudge up those stairs and meet in the master suite. It's do or die time, and hopefully everyone knows what needs to be done by now.

As soon as the guests walk into the room, they will be able to smell the food that the chef has provided: duck l'orange, served up on a nice platter. Eat up everyone!

There are a few unexpected guests this time. A large group of the rats is here, and they show up in a swarm as they carry Gabe into the room, much like how they had carted him off to the Child Daycare last night. Once he is deposited in the room, Gabe will also stand up and remain there, crossing his arm and looking a bit standoffish.

They're not the only unexpected faces around here, though...

[ Kohaku has not become very pop-culture savvy in the one year he spent in this world, so this doesn't phase him. Neither does anything else happening here. He'll just lean back and cross his arms behind his head. ]

Well, I don't give a shit one way or another, so wake me up when you decided this.

[whirlingmace]

[ Hehe. Yes, sleep :) ]

[latebluemer]

[Kohaku has the right idea here, honestly.]

[resortghosts]

[ Yeah but you still get a ghostly hug, sorry Kohaku. ]

[dolleyed]

[ Well, that wakes him right up. And actually, he's just going to wrap an arm around the ghost in return. There's not a lot of options who this could be after all. ]

See? No goodbyes.

[resortghosts]

[ Hug time it is! He just nods into Kohaku's shoulder so he can actually feel it. Yup, message received! ]

[dolleyed]

[ Pats his back a little... And laughs. ]

There's some weird-ass irony in my risking another death to save you, you know that? So no more creepy commentary in the future, that's only fair.

[ Regaining every bit of his memories has sure been strange. ]

[resortghosts]

[ Ohhhh. Right. He actually pulls back and will try to tug on Kohaku's hand to write on the palm:

"SRY"

":(" ]

[dolleyed]

[ That gets more laughter. He would love to flick Yoshi's forehead right now but with the whole invisibility, he is not risking aiming at random. Tragic. ]

Nah, it's whatever. You just owe me one.

[ .... ]

By which I mean a small favor, no reckless dramatic bullshit.

[resortghosts]

[ Please do not flick him in the eye. That would also be tragic.

Just a little bit of writing this time:

"OK!"

And then back to hug. ]

[dolleyed]

[ Kohaku really really isn't a physically affectionate person. When he touches people, he touches them to hurt them. So this... this is definitely weird. He can't say he minds. The last week in the resort had been pretty aggravating - knowing that they took the conscious risk to stay, not getting anywhere, not being able to see or here those it was for... Even he has to admit he's just relieved to feel Yoshi now. ]

It's good to have you back, kiddo. It'll be even better to actually see you, but we're getting there.

[resortghosts]

[ Hugs shall infect erryone.

Yoshi nods into the embrace, patting Kohaku on the back. We're almost there! ]
