THE THIRD TRIAL

[Once the final clues are found, the unsettling chimes sound three times again. However, the Debate Hall doors do not open for the Titled. At least, not for a moment or so.

When they do, though, and the Titled descend the stairs, they will find that the desks have been completely updated, up through the deaths of the previous night. It is...unsettling. Have they truly lost half their numbers in such a short time? But, what can they do about it?


The logs are on the desks, and the Intercessor finishes up the final touches of the evidence they made, placing it on the desks.

There is no chanting on the stage. The dragon, also, seems to be gone, leaving only traces of arms and legs and goo. So, the Intercessor simply goes and sits on the stairs, looking at the remaining survivors. They sound tired as they speak.]

All right. Everyone...do your best. Take your time, and...good luck.


[The trial of Raphtalia, the Dreamstrider, and Farkas, the Outcast, has begun.]

Comments

[lightnen]

[ He reaches into his pocket and pulled out the note that he'd found with Farkas. The one specifically addressed to Alexis and stated not to open it until the trial. So this was a perfect time. ]

I found this with Farkas' body. I didn't look at it or anything, so here. It's addressed specifically to you by name.

[ Going to stand and hold the note for the other to take, there's a look of curiosity on his face as he really did wanna know what was on the note. ]

[intercessing]

To me?

[O....k that is weird, but they will take it and read it.

As they do, however, they start to visibly look shocked.]

[lightnen]

[ That's enough to get a curious look before his brows furrow visibly. So it'd been kept secret for a reason, huh? ]

What does it say...? Or is that a secret?

[intercessing]

I-I...this...this cannot be right.

[Their hands tremble.]

Me? I am...?

[carries_war]

Alexis? You alright?

[He's looking distinctly worried.]

[intercessing]

[They are grabbing their head right now, looking horrified.]

No, no no no...I'm not that important...!

[carries_war]

[Does he have to hug you again? Just going to walk over and put his hand on Alexis' arm.]

[intercessing]

[PLEASE DO. They...they aren't doing well.]

[carries_war]

[Yeah, you're getting a hug. He guesses he knows where he's going to be hanging out for this trial.]

[zephyranthe]

What's it say?

[Look, she knows you're having a breakdown there, but considering it has to do with this case, it's probably important.]

[poorlovefool]

Maybe it's... you-know-what.

[That thing they're not allowed to tell the Intercessor on pain of punishment.

Though honestly, he does want to hear what it says.]

[intercessing]

[well you see]
