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?

[ Well, she supposes she'll try now too. She's gotta test the waters eventually...! ]

The true culprit did not appear in Riku's room, they came through his door.

[strawberryshortcackle]

...!

[A droplet of sweat suddenly appears on her brow.]

A-And? Is that all you're going to say? I'm getting pretty tired of taking down blue truths one by one. Try to combine them!

[accitio]

[ The sweat is encouraging but, unfortunately, there's only one thing she can think to link this to. ]

... Very well, Lady Lambdadelta. [ A resolved nod. ] The true culprit did not appear in Riku's room, they came through his door and used the knife to stab him!

[strawberryshortcackle]

[The blue truth that comes at her is wide - like a spell - and it shocks her entire body, making her give a quick yell of pain before mastering herself.]

....Gh-! I....I refuse to answer!

[accitio]

From there, Riku shielded himself with his hand. That is how his hand was injured by the knife.

[strawberryshortcackle]

Gnnnngh-

[She squeezes her eyes shut as another shock happens.]

W-Wait! Riku wasn't stabbed through the hand first!

[accitio]

You deny the sequence and not the events themselves.

[ Maybe he was stabbed at the door, then? ]

If that order is wrong, then... At the door, Riku was shot in the stomach. [ That doesn't seem enough. She struggles to think and digs deeper. ] Desperate, Riku fought back against his attacker.

[strawberryshortcackle]

[Oooh, bad move. She grins, though it's weak.]

Riku was never shot while standing!

[For a moment, Luna feels as if she's been hit by a weak lightning spell, though Lambda is also still getting shocked a little.]

[accitio]

[ She groans, probably more than she should given how weak the spell is supposed to be. Oops should've watched flat view closer. ]

I won't give up! Not yet. [ She reconsiders carefully. Riku wasn't stabbed through the hand first nor was he shot while standing. ] Riku was stabbed in the stomach first. Later, the injury was covered with a shot from the gun.

[strawberryshortcackle]

-!

[Lambda actually seems to scream this time, grabbing herself after the shock is done.]

Aaah - owowow, that Actually hurt! Gh! I- I refuse to answer, but time out! Time out!

[accitio]

[ O-oh... She purses her lips and nods gently, looking her over with concern. ]

I'm sorry, I should have given more thought to your condition... Are you all right?

[strawberryshortcackle]

N-nah, it's fine....this is just part of the game! It's like when you catch a dodgeball and your palms hurt or something...

[She waves it off, already looking a little better.]

Phew....I think you guys have gotten enough Red Truth from me at this point to solve it, you know?
