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.]

[She might be tired, but damn, Yurika, you ruffled her feathers a bit.]

I wouldn't call him my leader...

Well, he had a lot of people who believed in him and would follow him, didn't he?
everylittlesecret: (♪ Oh no)

Yes, but he didn't like being called leader. It was.... shoved on him, and I see Noctis as more of a leader than I ever did Ardyn.

[Sorry, Ardyn, she loves you, but it's the truth to her.]

Besides, the man I would have gladly followed anywhere has been gone before we even got here.

...It sort of feels like he fell into the roll, then denied he was there while a lot of people piled in after him. But that's not what we're debating right now - it's definitely something we can talk about later.

At the very least, we've lost something important now, and the culprit might have taken that into account.

That is certainly true...

...He shakes his head. No. Getting sad isn't going to solve anything.]
