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

Szayel's going to see what he can do too, but if my plan works, that means we'll be able to get them out so they can see everyone again even sooner!

[So, fingers crossed!]

-Huh? I'm sure there's all kinds of stuff you can help with, Blue Angel. You're pretty strong after all!

[He might not actually be getting what she's saying here.]

[latebluemer]

[She just shakes her head, why are you such an airhead, Nanashi!!]

If there's anything I can help with when it comes to Cinque. Trial runs, missions, anything. I'm here for that. And...

[She'll lean down a little to really look him in the eyes. This is serious time!]

You, too, okay? If there's anything you need to deal with your abilities or backup on missions, just leave it to me. Me, or anyone else going back. No more soloing bosses or anything.

[justonezero]

[Whoa. Serious!!]

Oh... Uh, okay!

[This is so weird.]

I can't think of anything I really need, but... I guess if I come up with something, I'll ask?

[??????

Never really had others to rely on like this before.]

[latebluemer]

... Good.

[To be fair, a lot of them probably haven't had this many people to rely on before, if any -- in Aoi's case it's debatable how many of the people she'd had around were even competent, here or at home, but anyway. They're all learning new things, because murder brings all the kids together or something.

Anyway, because headpat counters are important, she'll bring her hand up and rest it gently on top of his head, just by the Bitphones.]

From the sound of things, there's going to be a lot of us. And we're all going to be working together to change things. [...] Try to show your face once in a while too. Now that we can see it again.

[Don't become a workaholic pseudo-ghost shut-in. She has faith(?).]

[justonezero]

I definitely can't just stay in my room if I'm working to help Cinque!

[Unless he could do it remotely, but alas.]

I went outside when I was working for the Foundation too, though. So even though I thought I was a shut-in here, I already wasn't anymore!
