FINAL TRIAL

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 Jorogumo and the Barghest and the Doppelling were moving because they wanted to help the Hotel, after you killed Kurosaki-san and crawled into the brain. You heard Cinque when she said that all of this could end if you just left. That was weeks ago.

You're going to tell me that none of the deaths and-- and everything from stalling could have been prevented if you'd just had the guts to come out sooner?

[Her voice failed her a little in the middle there, because last weekend is still fresh enough that it's going to be in her nightmares for years to come. She really is at the end of her rope here with this guy.]

It could have been prevented if they hadn't told those monsters to attack all of you in the first place! How am I the asshole here for hiding from something that wanted to EAT ME?

[latebluemer]

Because the rest of us never had the option! You just abandoned us to the mafia, to the game -- you abandoned us and Kurosaki-san and all you keep saying is how it's not your fault! Even the monsters have been better at this than you!

[Interestingly enough, this gets him to hesitate.

And then this happens.]

[She'll remember that.

But yeah, all of that sure happens.]
