The Final Trial

[parasomniacs]

The Final Trial ‹ Mastermind ›

The dream world that they enter is shrouded in darkness. What was always an everlasting night has now taken even the stars from them. The only light comes from small, floating torches that flicker. Through what little light they have to guide them, they can see a small familiar form waiting up ahead.  Coming closer, they can indeed tell that Sheepy is waiting.

Now more than ever it is important that they arm themselves with the evidence that they have collected regarding the mastermind behind all this. Because this is the only chance they'll ever get to present it. Though death has always been the risk, now it's all or nothing.

Sheepy waits for them all to join her before grinning.

"Well, well, well... here we all are. Not all that many of you left, are there? Ah-- but then... maybe there won't be any of you left after this. Keheheheheh!! So let's make the most out of this last little session, shall we? Think you have it all figured out? Well let's find out. Like you were told, you gotta name all the remaining gunmen as well as the mastermind. So. Let's begin."

We're being forced to. After all they have inserted nanomachines into us to induce the dream state. Those are likely responsible for our waking experience as well.

[respring]

[ dammit it's always the tech she's forgetting about ]

Oh! That's right, hmm.

[tibkins]

I'm not sure if it's hilarious or degrading.

[She's trying to stifle a smile]

[devilsnight]

They could have at least made it a fucking pleasant trip.

[simplism]

[Sir what are you... no. You know what. That's fine. It's fine.]

If the Mastermind could take care of things themselves, they wouldn't have needed to go through all that trouble to create a space for Sheepy to come over? It would be easier to just give us a person to all focus our anger on. But instead they chose to use Sheepy.

Do you think Aloysius thought they could control Sheepy better?

[devilsnight]

Those notes said something about the sheep working independently of the operating system.

...For some fucking reason. Jesus Christ, it's like the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.

[parasomniacs]

That's right!

[respring]

Maybe she's a rogue? [ .... ] But then, I don't know why she would still be enforcing the trials like the original intent.

[scythegun]

Precisely! We're already armed to the teeth. We might as well see if we can find a use for all of these~!

[WHO LET THEM BRING THIS MANY WEAPONS TO THE MAIL ROOM, GODDAMN]

[scythegun]

We don't know exactly how far out the dream goes, do we? We might as well split into teams and investigate!

[devilsnight]

If you're here to pass messages along, can you tell Aloysius that we know he's here and we want to talk to him, or is that pushing our luck?

[respring]

Aloysius...took over Sheepy and used her for itself, you mean?

[vigilantims]

Heh. I'm ready to go take down this bastard. We just need to find him.

[ LET'S GO YEAGER LET'S GO HUNT HIM DOWN WITH ALL THESE WEAPONS ]

[simplism]

I think it's possible it couldn't control her but it considered her an ally...? Although... it doesn't seem that's entirely the case anymore.

Maybe Aloysius wasn't counting on that though...

[scythegun]

[SEE YOU GET HIM, YURI!! FINALLY WE UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER, IT ONLY TOOK A DESIRE TO MURDER SOMEONE TO DO IT oh my god

Anyway, give him a moment to pick between his weapons. Hopefully someone will actually stop these idiots before they wander off into the unknown to try to search for a computer program.]

[parasomniacs]

[She looks surprised at this question!]

Hmm.... Passing messages isn't really something I have to do when it comes to Aloysius! But what do you want to say?

[vigilantims]

[ WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS???

yuri is already equipped with his sword, one of crow's gauntlets, and his blastia!! so once yeager is ready they can go.

unless someone stops them please stop them oh my god.... ]

[unlikelyend]

[ A small nod. ]

...There are ten of us, so it can be three people to a team, with an extra for one of the teams, or two people to a team...?

[ This whole game has been truly about exercises in teamwork. Ok not really, but. ]

[scythegun]

We absolutely need to put at least one combatant in a team - it wouldn't do for anyone to get hurt now, ja?

[...EVEN THOUGH IT'S JUST A DREAM???

also oh my god sit down you guys]

[simplism]

Well... I don't know if that's possible, however... if Sheepy is a part of this... operating system maybe he thought he could influence her.

[unlikelyend]

... Yes.

[ Duke doesn't look like it BUT HE'S READY TO GO!! ]

Especially since it is likely to come to blows.

[ Or maybe he just wants them to kick the mastermind's ass, but who doesn't want to at this point!! ]

[tibkins]

Uh, if we're going to do groups then everyone should have a weapon...I'm not good at punching. I'm only good at tackling.

[She's also not good at stabbing, or shooting, or everything else that involves hurting people without running them over with a car]

[simplism]

Yeah I'm pretty sure we've seen the whole hotel now. And none of the evidence points to anyone else having that kind of influence here.

[...................OH MY GOD?!?!?!]

...ah! The mails that looked like Sandra sent them to herself! Do you think that could have been the computer...thing-- Aloysius? If it wanted to speak with her... data would be the easiest way, right?

[respring]

I think there's enough weapons to go around.

[ lookin at u top dollar. jesus christ. ]

[devilsnight]

That he sounds like a great guy to do a couple lines off a Brazilian hooker's back with, Sheepy, fuck do you think?

[jesus christ, td, calm down, you've got this- ]

Personally, I wanna try to negotiate for the lives of my guys. I'll lay that out on the table right now. But even if he doesn't want any of that, we're within our rights to talk to him if you guys are going to insist on playing by your bullshit rules, because if we have to vote for someone, we get to interrogate all our goddamn suspects. Just the way it's done around here, yeah? If we have to go with this motherfucking farce of due process and hand over the gunners because they murdered people, that part should be enforced, too.

And I think there're a bunch of us that'd love to interrogate him a bit, it being our right and all.
