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...

Tsumugi-san... thanks.

[He doesn't mind if she laughs at him, honestly, he kind of deserves it.]

... Are you doing okay? It seems like it's been a lot.

[jumpedtheshark]

Ah geez, I didn’t do that much Minato-san. But...

[She glances towards Vanitas and Roxas.]

Yeah, I think I’ll be alright.

[messianic]

I think you did a lot...

[A beat, and:]

In the end, we all owe so much to you.

[jumpedtheshark]

Eh? Eh?!

[An flusterd look.]

No, really, I was just here doing my plain best.

[messianic]

[Yeah, he just reaches out to rest a hand on her shoulder, squeezing her shoulder gently.]

Tsumugi-san.

Nothing about what you did here was "plain". Maybe..."spectacular", or "amazing"... those are much better words.

[jumpedtheshark]

.... You guys are never gonna let up, huh.

[ A tired huff.]

We’ll compromise with me being plain amazing and plain spectacular, alright?

[messianic]

Plain amazing and plain spectacular, huh...?

[Contemplatively:]

Fine.

That sounds good to me.
