thefoundation | MOCK WEEK

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?

I could come up with any number of theories. To come up with one that seems likely, however... [ A small shake of her head. ]

Until I can sort through my thoughts, I'll withhold on presenting a proper theory. For now, your mention of wishes has reminded me of something. Many of us have worked hard through this trial, some in the hopes of having our wishes granted and others for the sake of shedding light on Riku's death. We all know how hard some of us have worked.

But... surely there must be some here who contributed less. I'd like to ask those people of their wishes and if they'd still like them to be granted.

Who were you thinking of asking?

... I don't think Vantias offered too much help... Yet.

[Looking at you, blondie.]

Isn't that pretty normal for him, though? I mean... well he did stick around for the mansion.

That is true, I remember seeing him around while we were investigating...

Yeah, he showed up at my room. Maybe he was hoping to catch a peek of me before he went about his day.

When? Before you woke up or after you found the knife?

After I found the knife. I went all over the mansion first before I found it. Wanted to find out why everything was all... you know how freaky that was. Took my snack back to my room and then I saw it there. So I don't even know if they put it there as soon as I left my room or if it was there all night... maaan that's just creepy though.

You didn't think to check before you left your room?

No.

[ wink ]

It's okay. I'll always know we have a special bond.

[ Yeah he's just being a shit ]

[ What.

Jack, plz!! ]

Absolutely not.

[ Lifting his eyebrows a little, and then smirking, though there's something annoyed beneath it all. ]

Seriously? That's your reason for suspecting me?

I never said anything about suspecting you, I was just going along with Lunafreya's suggestion of asking people who haven't ccontributed information to the trial.

That's what she was getting at, right?

[ WELL PLAYED...

And the smirk on his lips twitches a little. ]

Doesn't mean you don't suspect me. The whole point of looking at those who haven't contributed much, is to get on with forming a list of those who're suspected of being the bad guy.

Right?

I doubt you'd be stupid enough to toss a weapon in two separate rooms. It'd be smarter to toss the gun on Jack along with the knife.

[ He nods. ]

Yeah, it would be.

Though tossing the gun in on me makes sense! Heh, I've made it no secret that I'm a monster. Throwing me under the bus it the clear answer.

[ Thoughtful hum... ]

Your room is right next to Riku's, right? That could have been their reason for that one.

True... still, I bet if someone took our theory so far and just tossed my name in at the end, everyone would probably go for it. Luna already called me out for doing mindgames.

[He gives Vanitas a look, shrugging]

Who knows? We're running out of time either way.

[It's pretty awkward when he still can't move, buuut...]

Vanitaaaaaas. How well did you know Riku, anyway? Like how much did you talk to him?

[ He lifts his eyebrows... and then gives a wry smirk, though there's something... off. And then it fades as he shakes his head. ]

Not well. Why?

[Hmmm...]

Did you talk about anything in particular?

We talked about being able to use the Keyblade.

...? Are you both from the same place?
