MOCK WEEK - WEEK 1 TRIAL

[foundationmods]

It was noon on Friday.

No matter where they were, no matter what they were doing...the moment the chimes rang out through the hall, they felt a change.

The world...began to expand, as they felt themselves leaving the world they were on, and towards another, much larger world...🗈

This new world looked like...the inside of an ornate courtroom, like something that wouldn't be too far from some kind of grand fantasy novel.

The Witch, Lambdadelta was there, sitting in the most important place, smiling brightly at everyone. There was no music to be heard, but... perhaps on another plane, in another place, someone else heard music as they gazed upon the proceedings.

As they looked around, they might have also been surprised to see that their forms had changed - perhaps only slightly, or a much more dramatic change. It seemed like this place demanded a different form in some way, even if it was just a change of clothing.

...There was a deep silence in the room, one that no one wanted to break. It was the faint tension in the air, like the moments before a race or a competition begins.

Yesterday had been the start of the game. But now, armed with all they knew...now, they had to truly go up against the Witch, and somehow.....win.

Right?

Comments

[Well that sure was... a lot. And already he sees some huge holes in the story: but first Takashi takes a moment to check out his new appearance. The curled demon horns, the claws- everything a fearsome demon should have. Nice. And his suit is just a little fancier instead of a salaryman's attire. Very spiffy.

He still has stake-chan and the gun on him, as well as the gory bullets. But for now, they are tucked away]

So, who wants to go over everything we found? Unless you wanna just go with what she said so we can break for lunch, kekeke~

[strawberryshortcackle]

[OH YEAH SPEAKING OF STAKE-CHAN...

Hey, is your jacket rustling? Specifically, is the stake wiggling? Actually, you can make out-]

Kyaaaa, I've been kidnapped by a handsome man!

[...It sounds identical to the voice from the girl in the retelling.]

[overlordad]

W-whoa-!!

[He fumbles around his coat, trying not to fumble the fucking gun while trying to get her out]

[helmdivide]

[ Need a hand with that? ]

Oh boy. Sounds like you made a friend.

[strawberryshortcackle]

[It's okay, Asmodeus floats out of her own accord, changing into human form in a blink of an eye and clinging to Takashi's arm in a cutesy fashion.]

Thanks for sharing your body heat with me for so long~~

[ladyscarred]

[She doesn't have her cloak, it's been replaced with a flower. This is not good for hiding.

But she does peer over at the yell.]

Hello there?

[strawberryshortcackle]

[She's turned into her human form, and she....ignores the greeting, as she's too busy clinging onto Takashi for now. Whoops.]

[accitio]

Difficult though it may be, I believe we should go over what was found.

[overlordad]

Yeah- the witch's story isn't even very good- we can definitely come up with something better.

[accitio]

I... imagine so. I did not see the scene so I cannot say how much of her story is true, but I shall listen to all who speak with an open mind.

Who would like to begin?

[helmdivide]

[ Here's Jack, looking like some kind of fancy war hero or something like that. There seems to something extra shiny about him beyond the uniform. Like he's a little brighter, almost shiny in his own kind of light.

He doesn't seem to be paying attention to any of that though. Looking around for Big Blue as he puts his hands on his hips. ]

I found a knife under my bed.

[accitio]

You as well... [ She's thinking of the comment about the gun as she says this. ]

To be certain, did you receive any visitors last night? Or perhaps noticed something odd in the middle of the night?

[helmdivide]

[ Shaking his head. ]

No on both of those. I don't know if I locked my room, and definitely didn't lock my window. Haha...

[curryparty]

I checked the door - it would have been impossible to slide a knife under the door to the bed. The knife is just too big.

It's possible someone could have gotten in through his window or door, however. He said he didn't remember if he locked them.

[...Assuming, of course, that he wasn't the culprit.]

[curryparty]

[Asuma doesn't undergo any physical change, but his uniform inverts in color, leaving him blinking in surprise. His expression becomes sad for a moment, but he quickly shakes his head and looks upwards once more, determined.]

That story doesn't explain the bullets at all, either.

[iblistriggered]

There were bullets?

[curryparty]

[Oh... This must be Silver.]

Takashi dug them out of the body. ...There was one in the stomach, chest, and head.

[iblistriggered]

[Silver is here, but not in a form anyone will know right off the bat! Instead of a short little hedgehog, he's a fairly short little 14 year old boy with brilliant silver hair and, FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE, PANTS.]

No! We definitely can't just give up so easily! ... Ah... but I don't really know any details about what happened...

[beastlybruno]

[What, did the witch decide that all the furries should be pretty now? At least Bruno still looks like a blue dog. Thing.]

I think Takashi can fill you in.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Someone doesn't look happy after catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror.

He's in that bodysuit he was wearing on day one, so that'll serve as a clue towards who this is, but...

Boy does he not look happy...

Or sound it. ]

Is this some kind of joke?

[ At least he's managed to keep his voice and expression steady, there? Anyway, give him a moment, he'll get in on the conversations after... uh... yeah. ]

[artificialhighness]

It is probably a joke.

[Says the woman who probably deadeyed her own outfit before ignoring it entirely.

It's all sentimental bullshit, is what it is.]

[curryparty]

[...Huh?

He does a quick head count, assigning names to everyone else before he settles on the last one unaccounted for.]

Vanitas?

[helmdivide]

Oh hey... [ Looking at that outfit. ]

I think I like the other look better.

[accitio]

[ She never saw him without his helmet or at least she didn't for the purposes of this tag...!! So she doesn't have much reaction to seeing him. ]

Do you prefer wearing your helmet?

[beastlybruno]

Huh? What's wrong with it?

[Look at Bruno. You could have been a lot worse.]
