MOCK ROUND - WEEK 2

[foundationmods]

There was only one week left in this game, if the Witch was to be believed.

Despite the trial and it's painful conclusion, everything had been quiet over the weekend.

And those that had been lost were supposed to come back on this day. Not only that, but their natural abilities were supposed to return to them this week...🗈

And, indeed, as they wake up on Monday morning - the feeling of their old, lost abilities filters back in.

One promise kept - so will the others be kept, as well? As the prospect of the final week in the game stretches out before them, there's a sense of anticipation in the air...along with the grim knowledge that this weekend, the investigation and trial will happen again.

At least it'll be for the last time, right?

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Hmph. Maybe I'll just keep you guessing.

[ Riku decides to be 'mysterious' and leave it at that, smirking a little at least. Okay, he guesses Jack's antics are still able to amuse him, even now. ]

That's a good point, but hopefully she didn't. There's already enough to worry about, even in a "game" like this.

[ Here we go, moving his sheep dog hair to the side to reveal...

...

Congratulations, it's fucking nothing! His forehead's just fine. ]

[helmdivide]

[ Wow. But he's pretty sure Riku won't kill him, and he'll leave out the whole almost framed part for now.

When he sees the forehead, there's a subtle shift in his posture, and then he'll stare at a spot. ]

Oh. I see.

[ Giving a nod. ]

Yeah, she definitely did it.

[ He's giving a face like there's something there. ]

[dawnwardspiral]

[ That's for the best, for now. He can be bothered by that later. ]

...What?

[ His voice is a little louder than it was before. And he looks kind of inconvenienced. Could be worse, he supposed, not realizing he was being duped. ]

At least I'm sure no one back home will be able to see it all that well, but...she just seems to think she can do whatever she wants, and it's frustrating.

[helmdivide]

She brought you back completely unharmed~

[ Just like she said would happen. There's a grin there, and a smile there in his eyes as he tries his best not to break out laughing. ]

You're fine.

[dawnwardspiral]

[ ........

How about he tries to give him a noogie. ]

[helmdivide]

Wow! Hey!

[ Putting a hand on him, but not fighting to get away yet. ]

What do you have against my hair?

[dawnwardspiral]

[ Letting go, looking satisfied. That's what you get, buddy. ]

Nothing, for now.

[helmdivide]

What do you mean by for now?

[ That doesn't reassure him of anything. He does keep his hand on him a little longer before giving him a totally friendly pat on his shoulder. Jack is really glad Riku is back. ]

People can see both of my eyes unlike someone I know.

[ He'll just flick one of Riku's bangs. ]

[dawnwardspiral]

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

[ Riku doesn't seem to mind that at least...he's gotten used to Jack by now. And honestly, being able to feel and touch things grounds him in a way.

That makes it clear to him that he really is back and then wow, the shade at his badass hair as one of his bangs is flipped!! Rude, he'll just flick right back at that hand, then!! ]

What was that? I can't hear anything. Must've been the wind.

[helmdivide]

[ You know what? Let's turn this into a hand duel. Just going to make a sword out of his hand to parry the flicking. ]

Oh yeah? [ En garde. ]

[dawnwardspiral]

Yeah.

[ I guess this is happening now because he'll try to flick again... ]

[helmdivide]

Hey, who said I'll let you do the same move twice?

[ Let's just capture the offending finger. Wrapping his sword finger around Riku's flicking finger if he doesn't try to pull back. ]

[dawnwardspiral]

Guess I can't be expected for you to let your guard down.

[ He has a finger trapped!! ]

[helmdivide]

[ It's his finger now for the moment. Just some finger holding between some dudes. ]

It's one of my many skills.
