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.]

That's true. Or it...could have been for sentimental reasons? But I'm just grasping at straws at that point.

That's what I said.

...I didn't even think of that.

Sure does.

...........

[SHE DOESN'T WANT TO but Nari is the closest thing they have to a medical professional so...okay. Fine. Bringing them over to Junpei.]

Don't taste any more than you need to, okay? Promise me.

[Her hands are shaking. This scares her, she - she would never want to poison anyone by any means. And now she's handing someone drugged icing and...yeah please just a tiny lick, Junpei.]

[...sigh.]

We'll need to discuss your eating arrangements later. For the moment, what I wish to know is whether you can make it through this trial.
cyan_maid: (A tiny longing)

cw: overdose

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-17 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...That's. That is completely fair.
shikosuki: (HRK)

Please don't taste anything!

[Is it okay if Pyrrha watches this whole thing through her fingers? Yeah? Okay, cool.

Please don't die, Junpei.

[He nods]

There's no reason to think they won't threaten them again if they run out of ideas- and odds are the Ultimate Champion would be in the best standing to barter for their release. Though knowing what we know about these people, I would suspect the 'Ultimate Champion' would just as likely be taken behind a barn and killed as they would be set free.

So it's possible someone dropped one of the cookies at some point, but...tossed them in a different place?

cw: drugs (not overdose here I guess)

[personal profile] daughterofthemark 2018-03-17 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
What benefit do you expect to gain from this?
everylittlesecret: (♪ You wanna know what I really believe)

cw: overdose

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-17 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be fine. Just.... don't expect me at any get together you throw later. I'd... like to be alone with my thoughts. No, I won't do anything that stupid, I'm beyond that phase in my life.
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="soncschmarn" site="tumblr.com"> (Fine.)

Wouldn't you dispose of them away from the scene of the crime, if they were your murder weapon?
shikosuki: (026)

cw: overdose

[personal profile] shikosuki 2018-03-17 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't blame you. I wouldn't either.

Anyone who watched a classic anime or played a video game might be fond of those colors. So, like. Most of us.
cyan_maid: (You are EMBARRASSING me!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-17 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true. Eugh...or, what, maybe someone operates on the five second rule when it comes to death cookies...
daughterofthemark: (22F. Denial on pain of death)

cw: drugs

[personal profile] daughterofthemark 2018-03-17 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
There seems to be no residue in the kettle. Since it had not been cleaned, can we conclude that this means it was not drugged?

He and I are red and blue themed.

Noctis also has a blue theme, and they're like, antagonistic family members. [TO PUT IT LIGHTLY...]

...I guess if you're going through the trouble to grind up pills, making different colored icing isn't too much of a bother, either.
ratherdoweddings: (it's all just boobs)

[personal profile] ratherdoweddings 2018-03-17 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, that's true! Just like Akira and Joe! It's really a timeless thing. Though Junpei-kun's right, the colours could mean anything to any of us.

cw: drugs and overdose and poison and murder

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-17 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I expect to figure out which thing poisoned my fucking--

[He cuts himself off, then grabs one of the damned icing bags.]

Oh for the love of... You're really doing this?

So you think they were trying to frame one of you?
