[re: I'm not sure we followed through on your suggestion, exactly.]
How so?
How so?
Going back to the evidence. Rather than waiting for a man to be stabbed in front of us.
[re: It turns out there are murders here.]
And I'm sure everyone is shocked at this turn of events.

All of us astounded.
In all sincerity were you expecting it to happen this weekend?

Hello, Miss Nonagesimus.
It seemed you all were spiraling a bit, at the end, to be quite honest.
But, there were things you all did well.

A fair critique.
Have you experienced a trial before? Is that question in bounds?

[re: I'm a little uncertain what I ought to be leaving.]
Anything you want! Or nothing. I'm just glad to get to talk to people that aren't Lepus.

You and they do seem to spend a good deal of time together. Although there are six others, are there not?
[re: We have yet to speak. I wonder if we might rectify that, as well as discuss what we have learned?]
sure, we can do that.
harrow? harrowhark? you prefer one or the other?
let's talk.

Either is suitable, but as we don't know each other much yet, Harrowhark will do.
Sieghart is claiming he was possessed by a shadow.

I intended to make introductions, but I'm also curious about what we witnessed earlier.
[re: We have yet to speak. I wonder if we might rectify that, as well as discuss what we have learned?]
Okay. I have time.
Okay. I have time.
I'm grateful. I don't wish to pepper you with questions immediately, but what has happened since trial has been a bit disconcerting.

hahahaha

what do you think you learned?

Wow.
Well, for instance, the message, which said that murdering a guest would guarantee the safety of our hostage.

Aww, it's so cute! So I guess you went to go check out the Prism, huh?

I did. It's...large.
[a slight frown.]
But I also wasn't sure what I ought to bring you. Can you travel there, too? To the prism?

[ harrow gets a typewriter response back! ]
Come meet me at Aurora Barealis.
[ and sure enough, when harrow makes her way up to the bar, she'll find aquila, waiting. they've got a sleek binder tucked under their arm. ]
Harrow. Let's grab a seat, huh?

Aquila.
Aquila.
[ after harrowhark rings the bell, shadows coalesce behind the desk, and out of them steps orion. they tip their head in greeting. ]
Miss Nonagesimus. [ they've got the polaroid in their hand, which they lift up. ] I'm curious of the reasoning, but that can wait. How may I be of assistance?

I don't even remotely know what you would like to receive. Perhaps you will enjoy a terrible plastic replica of a skeleton. Or perhaps you will give me guidance to select a better offering in the future.
[she tried and therefore no one should criticize her.]
I wanted to discuss the room service offerings with you. What precisely are those?

Afternoon, Miss Nonagesimus. How may I help you today?

...Good afternoon. Do you wish to accompany me to the library in the prism? It is decent.

First, I hope you will tell me what it is you have a preference for, so I can provide something more acceptable in the future.

Where are you? I'll come to meet you. Be sure to have your key.

Hopefully things have settled a bit since the return?

[i'm sorry to inform you harrow is wearing this and she's not going to acknowledge it.]
Indeed. No one is grievously wounded, though it is clear they have stilled suffered from what they have seen.

[re: Out of curiosity, can either of your room service powers be used at trial, or are they both excluded?]
kind of yes, but also kind of no?
if you use pants on fire during most of the week, it'll just take effect right away. but if you use it on friday, you can set a specific thing that would trigger it, like "you're pressed for more information after explaining where an injury came from during a strip check" or "someone directly accuses you of murder," and it would take effect if that happens during the trial itself.
if that trigger never happens, it would take effect for an hour at random after the trial is over.
liar liar, on the other hand, can't be used during a trial, but you could use it to defend yourself. like, say you made an illusion of swarm of bees and set it on someone who came after you. it'd feel like they were getting stung during the entire time it was active, so you could get away from them and come up with a plan to deal with them!

Interesting. They both have utility but the former is a little unexpected.
This is all academic, of course - I have my power for this week - but I find it worthwhile to know the scope of what I can do.
How many of the same power can you give away each week?

[it takes a little bit for gemini to appear. harrow will be waiting for a short while, but then the shadows swirl and gemini steps out through them to appear before her. they look at the bottle of c*ke, but they will take it anyhow.]
Good evening, Miss Nonagesimus.
Good evening, Miss Nonagesimus.
[she gives the bottle of c*ke a look of disgust. she didn't know what to bring. what a bad decision.]
...Good evening. I hope I am not inconveniencing you.
...Good evening. I hope I am not inconveniencing you.
[harrow rings the bell, and vulpecula appears out of shadows, sipping at the starlight c*ke.]
Whew! That was... a lot to watch.
Whew! That was... a lot to watch.
[at least vulpecula likes it...]
Yes. It was a bit ugly, wasn't it.
Yes. It was a bit ugly, wasn't it.
[ once harrow rings the bell, there's a swirl of shadows, and out steps aquila! they've got a pair of sunglasses on top of their hat? they are also holding harrow's poem in their hand. ]
For the record, this isn't that bad. Hi, Harrow.

No, it isn't. You wanted one of God's. His aren't as dreadful as some.
[she's standing here chewing on her lip, looking up when she sees them.]
Well. I don't suppose you can tell us now why Cloud is alive?

What do you want?

[here she is. her body horror mess of a self with bright golden eyes peeking out from her gaunt face and an open rib cage.]
...Well, I did think I owed you a tip.
...Well, I did think I owed you a tip.
[ when harrow rings orion's bell, they show up as promptly as ever. their most visible monstery change is at current a pair of horns that look as if they're made out of bone sticking out of their hat.
they give a little nod of their head to harrow, the rose held very carefully in their gloved hands. ]
Thank you for the tip, Miss Nonagesimus. How may I be of assistance?

...Your horns. Interesting. Do they have some significance?

[harrow is standing there for a little bit after the bell rings, but suddenly there's a voice behind her.]
Morning, Harrowhark. [aquarius is suddenly there. their cat ears peek out from their uniform hat, twitching slightly as a tail bobs behind them. but they do seem to be eyeing the pastry. tip? tip for them? wild.]

I hope this will do - I don't really know what it is you like.

[they appear out of shadows, shoving something - french fries? - under their veil with one hand while gripping the polaroid of the steak with the other.]
You're just fucking taunting me now.
You're just fucking taunting me now.
Yes. But it will be all the sweeter when I do finally deliver to you a steak.

Good afternoon, Miss Nonagesimus. [...they will actually flip through a book a bit. hi harrow.]

[this is vulpecula's emotional support wine now. anyway, they're here, wine bottle tucked under one arm and a glass of water flavored with a small amount of lemon in their other hand. they offer the glass to harrow.]
I'll trade you a drink for a drink?
I'll trade you a drink for a drink?
[aww. that's sweet. she'll take it.]
Yes, of course. [i guess they will sit and have a drink and one of their drinks will be really sad.] Oh dear, the boots were a bad call.
