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."

[...Well, we have more weapons than evidence and a lot of cats, but you know what at least we're here and probably going to figure something out, maybe??]

I'd like to start by saying that you're welcome to any of Crow's weapons that I didn't decide to keep for myself! Who knows if we'll need them~?

[did you expect him to be useful here??]

Though... I am a bit curious... Why do we need to hand the gunners over, exactly? I doubt anything good can come from that. Do we really want to lose anyone else?

[tibkins]

I don't think they'll be executed as long as we catch the Mastermind. No mastermind, no execution, right?

[She's all for naming the gunners, but no executions, please!]

[scythegun]

Then let's work on that first, ja? I know we've found a lot of information, but is there anything here that points to an identity?

[tibkins]

Vanitas and I found something! It's about someone named 'Aloysius', who seems to be one in charge of providing motives to specific players.

It'd be a very mastermind-y thing to do.

[She submitted the transcription of the file they read, it's in the evidence pile]

[unlikelyend]

... Then I believe he is the prime candidate for being our mastermind. He may also be the Director Sandra had correspondence with, although there is nothing mentioning the exact title he has in this mess.

[unlikelyend]

[ Probably, or at least find a way to make sure the mastermind is deda once and for all and then we all skedaddle. ]

I am not sure why we need to.

I do not wish for us to lose any more of our number than we already have.

[scythegun]

It seems likely that this is in place to try to split our group. Instead of it being us against the mastermind, it pits us against one another. That's not going to be very helpful and it's most likely just a distraction. I believe it's best to focus on the most important goal here: the mastermind.

[unlikelyend]

Indeed. It's a ploy, but rather desperate... and one we won't fall for.

[ Let's do our best, guys!! ]

[scythegun]

We've made it this far; we might as well see this through to the end together!

[devilsnight]

It's a waste of fuckin' time, if you ask me. We're all against the Mastermind, yeah? I don't see why we should help them by stabbing our own in the back.

[scythegun]

Precisely what I'm thinking. It's a bit annoying that they think they can distract us so easily!

[parasomniacs]

[Sheepy just tilts her head.]

You do understand they've been killing you guys as well, right?

Either way... you knew the deal from the start. You need to determine who the remaining gunners if you want to go home safe.

[anindomitablewill]

Once again you continue to sound like a broken record.

[ He still doesn't like you much. Crossing his arms over his chest, the look on his face is anything but kind. ]

I think by now we get the damn point, though I don't understand why you're so hung up on us finding out who they are. Especially when I get the feeling you might already know without us even saying a damn thing.

[devilsnight]

I have to wonder if she does - depends on if she sees everything or just what the cameras do. She was real pissed off about what Rean was doing with them, yeah?

[anindomitablewill]

This is quite true. I'd find it unsurprising if she's known about the identity of the remaining gunners and is simply just saying all that to try and split us up as we supposedly argue among ourselves trying to figure out who they are.

[parasomniacs]

Whether anyone else knows doesn't really matter now, does it? It's your test after all.

[anindomitablewill]

...Don't you get all cheeky on me now, sheep.

I don't get why you're so insistent on making it be something WE have to figure out and a factor in whether we and our hostages make it out of here alive.

[unlikelyend]

[ Duke just... probably glares at the sheep.

He'll just casually ignore what she said about the gunners here for a moment. ]

I presume the mastermind will receive their rightful punishment once we vote for them, as is the norm?

[parasomniacs]

Punishment? No one said anything like that.

But as we promised, once you've uncovered the guilty parties, you will be released from the experiment unharmed to do as you please~

[scythegun]

Oh, I'm very aware that they've been killing people. But I really don't think it's a good idea for us to split our group any more - ah, but there's no reason to explain it to you!

As for that... Hmm, I'm not entirely sure I feel like playing along right now. Perhaps I'll change my mind later. Who knows~!

[parasomniacs]

You don't think you're already divided? They clearly have different goals then you do~

[devilsnight]

Yeah, I understand damn well what they've been doing. I just don't fuckin' care.

The way I see it, either you're trying to get us to start some sort of boring infighting bullshit, or you don't know who the fuck the gunners are yourself and you want our help in finding them.

If it's the former, I think it's already been made plain that you can go fuck yourself.

If it's the latter...well, you can't have them.

[parasomniacs]

Well if you won't identify them well... then you'd fail the test and be unable to leave the experiment.

At least... you wouldn't leave alive.

Are you all gonna die just for some people who would have killed you too if it came to it?

[spatial]

I won't deny that we have been, and I'd like everyone to go home, which is why I revealed myself. [ But, amazingly enough, she smiles. ] Do you know why we've been killing, Lady Sheepy?

[parasomniacs]

[....Lady, huh?]

Not a clue.
