Fifth Trial

[You get a little time after your investigation is over, but not too long. PAL gets bored easily and doesn't like to be kept waiting, after all.

When everyone has gathered at the elevators, the one going down turns on automatically. It...it looks like you're taking a leap of faith into an elevator shaft, not gonna lie. But the first person to step in finds that it's a carefully-balanced anti-gravity field made to just shoot you down and deposit you gently at the end of a long hallway. Like a walk-through aquarium, the walls and ceiling are all made of thick glass, giving you an even better view of the stars outside.

You're led to a wide-open area, empty except for a circle of podiums in its center. They've changed from last week, with the three previously empty podiums replaces with greyscale portraits of everyone you've lost this time around, including Ardyn and the Doctor. If anyone remembers where Jamie's portrait was in the simulation, however, that spot is now where Xander is meant to stand. The walls here are equally transparent, and they seem to have lines of large hatches going along them, as if this is where one might park one's small short-journey craft when getting ready to go on vacation to a galaxy far far away. Shame you don't know anything about those.

You already know what you're here to do. You'd best be getting along with it.]

[Yeah, you know what?

Junpei's gonna take a knife out of his pocket and stab it into his goddamn podium.]


Be my fucking guest.

[...Though, the knife is not from the kitchen.]

So, everyone should probably empty their pockets?

POCKET CHECK

[personal profile] ratherdoweddings 2018-03-17 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Let's do a check for it.

[Yurika empties her own pockets. There's the gold key she carries on a string, but that's about it.]

I was gonna do it, you know. I was gonna run around and if we didn't have a body I was gonna go to the bathroom and take care of it because they didn't say we had to get away with it, they just said someone had to die--

[Arianna's got nothing but her various accessories, none of which are knives.]
ratherdoweddings: (you have the loudest scream)

[personal profile] ratherdoweddings 2018-03-17 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yurika claps her hands over her mouth to keep from screaming.]

Where did you get a knife!?

Ruri.

[Pyrrha digs into her pockets and produces her Scroll, as usual, and some regain coins... and a carefully folded and crumpled note. But that's it.]
ratherdoweddings: (and if you're chasing a dream)

[personal profile] ratherdoweddings 2018-03-17 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Like Junpei-kun said, that could apply to a lot of people. Church-san, Noctis-san, even me if you think really hard on it. What did it remind you of?
kingshaming: (28)

[personal profile] kingshaming 2018-03-17 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible. If they were just meant to kill, there would be no reason to go through the effort otherwise. Did you think of something, Arianna?

If I'd made up my mind faster--if I hadn't been drinking, if I hadn't let myself go to that stupid spin the bottle game and had fun and thought, okay, maybe one more night, he wouldn't--someone wouldn't have--
cyan_maid: (Unsure over here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-17 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I - I didn't mention that a knife was missing from the kitchen, did someone else...?

[Someone else better of, but she'll empty her pockets. The toy knife is the only thing she's got on her.]
ratherdoweddings: (blood you lose)

[personal profile] ratherdoweddings 2018-03-17 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ruri-chan? But that's -- wait, who do you mean?

[...she's never heard the roomba referred to by anything other than Stabby]

Don't.

Don't.

The stupid game was on my stupid hands, cuz, that's what I do, okay? I do the stupid shit to make people have fun in the stupid hopes that someone won't be stupid enough to--

I--

It was White Day and I couldn't--I couldn't make myself do it, she wouldn't have wanted me to but if I had, Ardyn wouldn't be--
