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.]

[Church likewise says nothing, but he's no longer struggling, no longer fighting. He's just standing, fists balled, still deeply and obviously angry. But merely watching with intent.]
shikosuki: (sobbing)

[personal profile] shikosuki 2018-03-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Anything...?

[ He's quiet a moment, trying to think. ]

In my room, I... [ but then he pauses, remembering Junpei's reaction when he told him what Ardyn had asked him to share and he thinks that maybe he's not worth listening to. After all, why would anyone now want to read what he'd have to say in a letter to them...?

So instead he focuses instead on saying an important thing he had written. ]


...Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, Todomatsu. Those are my other brothers. Purple, yellow and pink.

I-If these bastards... if they had already hurt Osomatsu-niisan and Karamatsu-niisan then I... I'm scared they...

[ He chokes back a sob ]

P-Please just make sure they're okay. If you get out but c-can't save us, th-then...

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-18 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
...They won't get your brothers. I promise.

[They'll do something to get out of here. And then? No one else was going to be hurt by any of this ever again.]

[ He falters for a moment, having to steady himself against her... he nods ]

I... I will.

...Thank you.

We'll make it out. I promise, okay? Just hold on until then.

[ He looks down at her hands and slowly back up to her...

And manages to smile. Not forced like that time he tried to before with her, but actually. ]


You know... that was one of the things he said. To trust you guys... that you wouldn't let this be the end.

...I know you'll come. So I'll wait... with my niisans and everyone else. I'll...

[ And then he falters, falling forward towards her. Good thing she's got his hands but he's not sure he can stand anymore. ]

I'll look after them... I'll believe... just...

Stay strong... okay?

[Stay strong... she's heard it many times from many people in many different ways-- in expectations and wishes and blessings alike. With each had come a question of whether she could and what her limit was. But here and now she doesn't ask. She just nods, holding on tightly; using the strength she has to help him down gently to his knees.]

And she leans forward and presses a kiss to his cheek, even as she feels her eyes threatening to water up.]

...I will. I promise.

[With that she finds a reason to hang on, even when her heart threatens to break. Something to cement herself to her goals.]

Then... you can introduce me to your brothers. And your other friends.

[Pyrrha.... isn't going anywhere. She's here for you, Choro, even if there isn't much left to be said.

...Well, besides one thing she can think of.
]

I... hope that you find your brothers, and you're happy with them. That's what you deserve.
shikosuki: (Long fucking story. But hey)

ONE LAST WARNING FOR OVERDOSE/SUICIDE

[personal profile] shikosuki 2018-03-18 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ OH...

Well a cheek kiss from a girl he likes as he dies in her arms is pretty much AS BEST OF A WAY TO GO AS HE COULD EVER IMAGINE SO.

He nods slowly, shutting his eyes. ]


Okay... I will...

...S...Sorry...

[ He goes very still then, falling asleep to thoughts of seeing his older brothers soon after god knows how long, his breathing getting more and more shallow...

It takes a little while still, but there's a lot in those little cookies, (and who knows with space drugs) and sure enough his breathing eventually just... stops.

Choromatsu Matsuno is dead. ]

Let it lie, PAL. He is dead, the culprit was discovered.

[Fukawa is... uncomfortably familiar with the feeling of death. She can feel it set in and for a moment she's incredibly still. Until the very end... until she knew he wasn't going to see, she holds in her tears. Only when he's gone does she take a shuddering breath and let herself grieve.

This wasn't fair. He didn't deserve this end. Neither of them did.

But she hadn't been able to do anything. And she might not be able to the next time or the time after that.

Yet for both of them... for the wishes they left her with... she has to keep fighting.

She holds him for a moment, before gently lying him on the ground.

Regardless, thank you for not forcing this to go on further.
