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 world's not gonna change itself, Phil.

[It's not condescending - just a stating of facts.]

I'm not going to let what happened to us, what happened here, happen to anyone else.

[imstuck]

[Phil runs his hands through his hair, clearly stressed.]

But can't we live a nice life here? I'm sure the other people who are going back can fix it; we don't have to worry about any of this!

[Phil is just... going to grasp at Snake's hand.]

I don't want to go back to the Foundation, Snake. But staying here alone sounds like hell to me. This isn't fair.

[blutsauger]

You're not going to be alone. I'm staying with you.

[The knowledge that Snake and Ripley are going back out there has wavered his resolve a bit- come on! He wants to raise hell out there too!-, but... He's not leaving Phil behind, and he's sure as fuck not dragging Phil back to the Foundation.]

[Snake shakes his head, and squeezes Phil's hand in return.]

I want to do this. I'm not leaving it to anyone else. I want a better future for you, for Medic and Ripley, for these kids...

[He's not going to budge, as much as he wishes he could to make Phil happy, he knows this is what he has to do.]

There's no one more qualified for the job.
