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...

We'll talk later. I'm glad you're okay.

[the ghost takes Makoto's hand and traces the kanji of "yes" against her palm]

[there's a lot more to say, but. . . definitely later. she's got work to do right now]

[resortghosts]

[ALSO. . . SOMETIME AFTER GABE SPEAKS UP. . .]

[ghost traces another word into Makoto's palm. "curse?" with the question mark]

[justfists]

[she shakes her head-- this is the first time she's heard that, actually.]

[resortghosts]

[first this ghost has heard it, too. and all that stuff with the shadows. . .]

[a pause, and then another word]

["ask?"]

[question mark included, so it's more of a request than a demand]

[justfists]

I will. [though there's a not insignificant part of her that's thinking... this is him being overdramatic. Again.]

[resortghosts]

[BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!!]

[justfists]

[IT'S TRUE!!!! but also, GABE EXHAUSTS HER she's so tired. also fuck it, she's leaning against him. friend.]

[resortghosts]

[ruffles her hair!]

[or, well. Akira's hair. his own hair?]









[this is weird]

[justfists]

You really like hair ruffles. [she knows. from cinque. and how it's his first instinct. she's amused.]
