Fifth trial

[letsplayamod]

[Just as you believe you’ve gathered enough to make a case, the sky crackles a hazy red.]

Enough! Enter the arena at once!

[There’s a change in Typhon’s tone. The bluster of his usual pride replaced with a more tangible frustration. Like the thunder he summons, his rage punctuates every word.

That matter aside, all the survivors eventually return to the arena. The mood is dour, not helped by the surrounding. For the first time, this place was a fresh murder scene; bloodstains and scorch marks continue to stain the stones. It seems that there just wasn't time to remove Ferdinand's body from the scene. So it remains, impaled on his own spear, left to fill the void of Ferdinand's absence from the surviving party in the worst way.

Again, a rift opens beyond the barrier, and Typhon forces his head through.]

You know why you are here, do you not? Now, go! Complete your task, find the culprit or die trying!

[TRIAL START]

Yeah? They tied a trident and a fish on it. Looked fresh too.

[sweetsynergy]

Food AND a weapon?! And all I- ugh.

[THIS IS BULLSHIT, THE SIRENS ARE BIASED]

[catsgothistongue]

[He's not going to mention the fact one of them kissed it. Vanity might blow a gasket.]

Have you tried actually fishing for stuff without using your head for bait?

[sweetsynergy]

You had a fucking scarecrow sitting by the water, that's not how fishing works!

[catsgothistongue]

Ain't my fault I wooed a siren and you didn't!

[This fucking icon.]

[sweetsynergy]

I'm not gonna seduce a bitchy fish idol!

[catsgothistongue]

You couldn't anyway!

[:PPP]

[sweetsynergy]

No shit, if they went for you it means they have garbage taste anyway.

[catsgothistongue]

[Bitch.]

You're just jealous they tried to bite your face off.

[sweetsynergy]

There was no biting! Hell, sounds like YOU did the face-biting if anything.

[admit you kissed a fishperson, ranma]

[catsgothistongue]

[Glaring daggers.]

The only thing any lips were touching was the fish!

[sweetsynergy]

Cold thing to call your new datefriend, Saotome.

[catsgothistongue]

[grkefknekfke him and his big mouth.]

The siren did the kissin'!

[Is this the hill he wants to be buried on?

Yes, yes it is.]

[sweetsynergy]

Wow, you were too smitten to kiss back huh?

[guys ferdinand's corpse is RIGHT THERE]

[catsgothistongue]

[It's okay he's probably as much a romantic in death as he was in life]

She never-- Oh, forget it.

[sweetsynergy]

You heartbreaker, you.

[catsgothistongue]

[Flat stare.]

Don't you start that now...

[sweetsynergy]

...is this something that's been started before?

[eeeonetwothree]

...I am going to miss this...

[catsgothistongue]

[Look just cause he gets it doesn't mean he isn't crossed with you robro.]

You could've stuck around for it longer.

[eeeonetwothree]

HEH.

IT IS MY GREAT MISFORTUNE THAT I COULD NOT.

[catsgothistongue]

Why couldn't you wait? We could've held out for another week or more.

[Why didn't you ask me first, is what he's really asking here.]

[sweetsynergy]

Oh, now you got something to say?

[She didn't actually catch that.]

[eeeonetwothree]

ONLY THAT YOUR ILL ADVISED DESIRE TO THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY IS PRECISELY WHY I DID NOT COME TO YOU.

FERDINAND...PROVED MORE FOOLISH THAN I EXPECTED.

cw: it's sacrifice all the way down

[sweetsynergy]

[Well that's. Worryingly accurate.]

[She's red and quiet for a moment.]

...if you were scared I'd kick your ass too hard you should've just said that.

[She glances up at Typhon again.]

Hope this is fucking worth it, dumbass.
