FINAL TRIAL

Final Trial

investigation

profiles

This Friday morning you've investigated as has become commonplace, even if the circumstances have shifted. And now it's time to take stock of what you've found, what options you have, what options you don't, in the lull of action you have left.

The abyss in the fountain beckons, but doesn't demand quite yet. Who knows when that will change, though.

[OOC NOTE: You'll have the first hour of trial to discuss what you found in final investigation yesterday, and then we'll get this show on the road! ]

[ Another eyeroll, then: ]

Are you trapped in here, or are you free to leave? Phillip-san found a key. Not sure if that'll unlock anything in here, though.

[begrimed]

[ He hums. ]

That's not for anythin' in this room. [ He's ignoring the first bit, sorry. ]

[incompletely]

Okay.

[ A beat, and he's gonna look around the cell for like.

Hamelin's grenades, weapons -- anything like that. ]

[begrimed]

[ There's no weapons visible, this room really is dreary and depressing. As for what's on him that may be an entirely different story, but thanks to his ridiculous sense of fashion that's not visible right now. ]

[incompletely]

[ God dammit.

After listening to the rest of the conversation, though: ]

So we're going to have to fight you.

[begrimed]

[ More humming. ]

That's one course of action, yeah! But you're not getting to her unless you deal with me.

[incompletely]

[ Mmmkay. He's just gonna look back at the group when Hamelin says this. Time for planning, maybe? ]

[mirrite]

[Yeah. And he's already got a pretty good idea of what they're going to need to do...]

[incompletely]

[ Tenn looks over at Marcus; he probably has a better idea than Tenn does. ]

What are you thinking?

[mirrite]

[He exhales slowly. When he speaks, it's in a near whisper.]

You remember the stories I found in that room, right? About the Pied Piper?

[incompletely]

Yeah. What about them?

[mirrite]

If this works the way I think it does...

[And he's basing this on personal experience here--]

... his soul is bound to her. And if it's anything like mirrites and their masters... there are only two ways to set him free.

[incompletely]

[ .......ah. ]

Maybe it's like I thought, then. Maybe we do have the ability to write the ending to his story.

We have ink, don't we?

[mirrite]

Yeah, we do. But I'm not sure that's all we're gonna need to do here.

[crimson_flamel]

[Hello, Marcus. She is behind you.]

The most we can do is ask the Piper on how we would go about doing that. Unless you have some idea?

[biqe]

And that blank space on the last page.

[ i know you're almost whispering but he's definitely here ]

[mirrite]

[He glances over and nods. We're on the same page here (ha ha), Phil.]

[scythegun]

We have nothing to lose by trying, ja? What sort of ending should we give him?

[incompletely]

[ he has a lot of ideas here but yuri is right there and he's not gonna say it, but god the look on his face shows that he wants to be petty!!! ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ At some point he's gonna mention something quietly about this.

After that, he'll look thoughtful at what the group is chatting about, hmm ]

[sempiternel]

[ Speaking of his sense of fashion, he's dressed the same as usual? Nothing missing? ]

[begrimed]

[ The same, as usual, yes! ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ Huaisang will just shift so he's in the farther back behind some of the others or something, as if he's trying to cover himself in case there's a fight. Once he's fairly certain he can't be seen by Hamelin (but who knows maybe he has magical eyes??), he's going to do a lil something.

Anyway, point is, he's doing this because he just doesn't trust anything right now and is just like this.

He will get out the addler stone. Is there anything weird in the room? ]

[begrimed]

[ It looks like there's a door nearby where Hamelin is. It's absolutely teaming with all kinds of wonderful creepy crawlies and may in fact be made of them, fun. ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ ...............................he hides his reaction but he fucking hates this, thanks.

Quietly, he puts away the stone. ]
