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...

VICTIMS: ICHIGO KUROSAKI and THE RESORT THE HOTEL

10 11 GUESTS REMAIN

[The Lady looks - conflicted for a moment, before closing her eyes.]

It - was akin to...what would be the appropriate - ah. It was akin to something like Chemotherapy for us, I believe. An aggressive treatment to keep us alive.

[justfists]

And is this the last part of that, or are you officially in remission?

[foundationmods]

Remission, I believe. This is - well. We have a policy about troublemakers, and - honestly, he's also caused you all much grief. We would just let our spouse eat him, if they hadn't already refused that.

[The rat on her shoulder sneezes in a way that expresses scorn, somehow.]

At the very least, he's banned from ever stepping foot in here ever again.

[justfists]

That's kind of you, given everything that's happened. Of both of you. Especially since there's a chance he could make you or your spouse sick if he were to die here. [she's willing to believe that.] Once we decide on his punishment, what about the rest of us? Those who were killed?

[foundationmods]

We have a solution for them in place, please don't worry.

[The Rat brushes up against her cheek, and she reaches up to pet it.]

And it's not kindness. It's just - we're completely done with this situation in it's entirety.

[justfists]

I don't see how that precludes it from being kind. Perhaps it's a lazy sort of kind, but it's still there. But I'll trust you. Could I call you California? Or would you prefer your full title?

[foundationmods]

The Hotel, please. Or Cali, if you must.

[The Lady seems a little embarrassed, though.]

[justfists]

[she nods, she wouldn't want to embarrass the Lady! Then.] You mentioned the bodies... [she pauses... and has to ask] Is there any way I could possibly.... have mine?

[foundationmods]

Not Until judgement has been passed down.

[Though she does look apologetic about it, at least.]

[13thpromise]

[ And while Makoto asks the other thing, he'll finally ask something. ]

...What is the solution?

[foundationmods]

We have fake bodies for them to be in - the exact kind you are currently in.

[13thpromise]

Alright. I'll hold you to it, then.

[ Roxas is skeptical, because for him everything isn't 'suddenly rainbows and sunshine' just because things seem to maybe be working out. But, the Resort isn't killing them or anything like in that last trial, so. ]

[resortghosts]

[ Ghost friend is going to hold onto him lightly while pretty obviously bouncing in place. Someone's happy. ]

[13thpromise]

[ That's a good sign, isn't it?

He can't quite see them, but he'll definitely be able to feel the bouncing. ]

Careful, you might make my arm fall off.

[resortghosts]

[ The bounces stop.

Now he gets pats on the back instead, because that's clearly a safer alternative. He might even catch a ghostly laugh of glee on the air... ]

[13thpromise]

[ ...Omg.

Yeah he's definitely gonna catch that. At least his ghostly friend found it funny... ]

[whirlingmace]

Where are the bodies?

[latebluemer]

[She's breathing a long sigh of relief at this, she still wasn't sure about this part so it's good to have it confirmed.]

After the decision, right?

[wrongtiming]

Having us possessed and killing each other healed you...? Do I want to know how that worked?
