FINAL TRIAL

FINAL TRIAL


[Soon after the final clue it found, the large set of double doors at the end of the hall finally open.

And beyond is what Nyaf-ya calls the Room of Reckoning. And this room is...]






[...rather impressive. Large, for certain. Maybe a bit too large for the space it would have to occupy beneath the mall, or to have light streaming from the windows, all things considered. But given everything else that the surviving strangers have encountered, this might not be the strangest thing with this situation overall.

There is a wooden throne at the top of the staircase, and at the bottom of the staircase are four large, comfortable-looking sitting pillows - one green, one orchid, one gold, and one pink. The red pillars surrounding the staircase are also decorated with markings that definitely don't look like they fit the aesthetic of the room.

There are also two low hot pot induction cooker tables in the great hall area before the staircase. One table has six spots, all with sitting pillows, each with a name written onto a paper placed carefully on a plate. When everyone sits at their place, they will find that the stove in the center is already heated and ready to go, and every imaginable ingredient for a proper barbecue and hot pot meal is available to them for cooking. A pitcher of their favorite drink is also next to each respective cup.

And, once everyone finds their place, their phone pings with a message.]


Once you've figured everything out, the Boss....wants to talk to you. She doesn't want to fight. Not this time. Please, take your time, but please be careful, ok? The rules of the Game are still in effect.

We're rooting for you. I know you'll find a way!


[So it's time, then. The objectives are simple in this trial.

It's time to finally answer the questions the Titled have about why they are here - and face the Masterminds behind the Game.

Good luck, Titled.]

...The catch is that the problem we were brought here to solve as Composers would still exist. We'd have to find a way to remove the bigger threat if we wanted to truly return to our worlds as we are, I'm guessing.

Maybe if this person is at least starting to believe in us, she'll be willing to help us find a way.

Yeah that's what I was inclined to think, too.

[ A pause. Okay he can't help but add something in since he did see it and hopefully it would make Akira laugh instead of feel awful. ]

You were mentioned in there too, Akira. But for a much different reason. It was actually pretty entertaining.

Hm?

[ He blinks. ]

What about me?

Apparently, they were disgusted by you and Akechi making 'romantic faces' at each other early on.

[ Sorry. He honestly got a kick out of that. Please don't be all upset by it, Akira. This is something he means well with, for once. ]
beguiledcard: (he told me i should take it in)

[personal profile] beguiledcard 2017-12-23 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ STARE. ]

Are they allergic to romance?

[ Upset?

... No.

Actually, he likes the idea of getting under their skin, considering everything they've endured because of this whole game. Is that a glint in his eyes? Yep. ]


If I'd known that, I would have upped my game.

I think so.

[ Karma's just glad that he isn't making Akira upset at all with That, more amused that he's genuinely getting a kick out of this too. ]

Yeah that would have made it much more interesting than it already was. I can't believe you got put in their little diary just for that, though.

I'm kind of proud...

[ There's a faint grin as he picks at his food a little more. Well, this did somehow help his mood? So... thanks, Jack.

And the smile he gives his friend is one of appreciation. ]


Guess now we'll just have to use friendship feelings to gross them out, huh?

[personal profile] comesaround 2017-12-23 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
You should be.

[ He definitely caught that faint grin, glad to see Akira actually picking at his food a little more. The fact that he'd done some good in helping his friend's mood did make him feel a bit happier.

Even offering a soft chuckle as he gave Akira a soft smile of his own, nodding in agreement. ]


Sounds like a plan to me. Wonder if they'll be able to handle it.
