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?

[Still not sure what the relevance is, but it's worth a try!]

The writing on the door was going to be "SORA", but Riku couldn't finish writing it!

[Have a nice blue tendril of rose thorns headed your way, Lambda.]

[strawberryshortcackle]

[She winces, but nods.]

Ugh, yeah....I allow it.

[She gets wrapped up in the tendrils, wincing but giving a smile.]

It was pretty flimsy...but that doesn't mean he wasn't killed by me! After all, does it matter if he wrote the words or not?

[curryparty]

That just means we have to figure out the timing next...

[Still, eyeing those wounds.]

Sorry about that, though. [Feels bad man.]

[overlordad]

Be careful- she didn't say it in red so that doesn't mean it's true. Just that it counters her story.

[curryparty]

Ah, that's true!

Should we ask her to confirm it?

[overlordad]

Go for it. Might get lucky.

Lambdaaaaa

[curryparty]

Lady Lambdadelta, can you confirm my theory in red?

[strawberryshortcackle]

I refuse. I don't have to give you the red if I don't want to, you know?

[curryparty]

[Then how abouut...]

Can you confirm in red the order of the weapons used on Riku?

[strawberryshortcackle]

I don't have to respond to that unless you try to get it out of me with the Blue, Asuma-kun. I refuse.

[curryparty]

Ahh, it was worth a shot.

[Hmmm... Okay.]

The order of weapons used on Riku were: knife, gun, and lastly stake.

[Go thorns go?]

[strawberryshortcackle]

Incorrect. One of those weren't used at all.

[They immediately wither.]

I'd normally never say that - I could have just denied it with 'incorrect', but I'm taking pity on all of you.

[curryparty]

Used by the killer that is, right?

[helmdivide]

[ Let's try it! ]

The stake wasn't used at all.

[ The words will take on the form of a wakizashi. Let's go \o/ ]

[artificialhighness]

If Riku is the one who wrote the words, then you couldn't have been responsible for them the way it was in your version of things, Lambda. That is a hole in your story.

[strawberryshortcackle]

[Nothing happens.]

I already allowed a blue truth through that stated Riku wrote the letters. But unless you can say that Riku writing those letters himself somehow changes what happened,, I don't have to respond to it.

...Ah, and by 'changing what happened', I mean changing my assertion that I killed him. You can't just be vague and say 'your story wasn't the whole truth, so we can throw it all out.' I might have made a mistake with my recounting, you know...? *cackle*

[artificialhighness]

I see. So our blue truths should be connected to his death at a certain point.

[strawberryshortcackle]

Yeah. I mean, we could be here all day if you just denied little stuff like that. You have to start going at me for the big stuff, especially the movements of the culprit and who it was.

[artificialhighness]

You are being generous with the hints today.

[strawberryshortcackle]

It's your first game - sure, I could crush you all one sidedly, but where's the fun in that?

[artificialhighness]

It wouldn't be a game, then, would it?

[strawberryshortcackle]

Exactly~

[helmdivide]

Hmm. If he used the knife to write the letters, then wouldn't that mean he had the knife with him. So it might change the story because of the order of events?

[artificialhighness]

Do you mean that he cut his own hand in order to write the letters?

[helmdivide]

Maybe? I don't know how bad the wound was on his hand... that'll be something the others would have to answer. The other possibility was there might have been a struggle.
