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

... The Resort is back, isn't it? Can't they just retrieve the medicine while we're at it?

[Hi, have her aggressively hovering again. She's watching those shadows with a sharp eye, she doesn't like this??]

[foundationmods]

[The Lady shakes her head.]

[latebluemer]

Oh. Too much for you, still?

[This is a genuine question rather than aggressive, for the record. All the aggressiveness is directed at Crawling Shadow Problems.]

[foundationmods]

No.

We won't give the medicine to him until a judgement has been passed.

[latebluemer]

Okay. It's good to know you're able to, though. We might need that once we're done here, if you're sure you can get it.

[stepsinshadows]

It's a pretty complicated mixture anyway. I don't even know everything that goes into it, so without Moira here to show how it's made the Hotel might not even be able to replicate it.

[latebluemer]

The Lady says that they'll wait for the judgment, but the Hotel can do a lot of things it's not supposed to, can't it?

[Well, it's still mystery medicine in the end, but.]

[stepsinshadows]

Supposedly. But everything it did was based on what we knew. If nobody here knows how to make the medicine, how can it make more?

[whirlingmace]

You had the medicine here, right? Was there a bottle?

[stepsinshadows]

Yeah? But it's gone now.

[whirlingmace]

The rats see everything, right?

They would have seen it. And the Resort still remembers. I'm sure they can bring you the right stuff.

[stepsinshadows]

...

[Okay, maybe it's not such a bad idea after all.]

[whirlingmace]

We can do this. We also can talk to Sol. He can talk to people on the outside and get you what you need after this is over with.

[ So even if The Resort can't help... they have options ]

[stepsinshadows]

...we'll see.

[whirlingmace]

We'll try. Because we aren't going to give up.

[latebluemer]

[Bless you and your understanding of the Resort, Cinqueling. Aoi's listening quietly, but she'll give her a nod and tiny smile. Hopefully this will help even if the shadows go berserk...?]
