Final Words // Orianthe // ur fuckin' dead kid

The verdict was in. All eyes were on the tiny philanthropist. She was in disbelief and so, so afraid; how did they see through her alibi? The prospect of dying horribly like all the other murderers, dying just like a monster... It set her trembling and clenching the stamen of her flower. She had to make things right, she had to-! Her throat clenched around and stifled the voice that would ordinarily be gentle and wind chime-sweet.

"Je suis- v-vous avez- I- I-! Ce n'est pas juste!! I am innocent, I am innocent-! Something was wrong, I- I am not at fault- I- I am pure-!! It was not- I... Je n'ai pas méchanceté!! S'ils vous plait!! I am-! I-!!" Coughs overcame the futile pleas, racking Orianthe's tiny, tiny body. With a whimper the willpower used to hold back her tears gave way. She couldn't stop the storm of salt water. "It wasn't... I... I never meant for Eago, too... Forgive me, Skye, my friend, ma bonbon belle, Forgive me, everyone..."

She heaved herself to her feet again, leaning on her flower for support. Her voice was more measured now, her words clear and deliberate. "My apology. I never... I would never want anyone to see me like this. I have not done well as the ideal, as a humanitarian. I can only wish that how I have done can forgive my horrible section and slay the selfish monster somewhat..."

"Please, my friends, we are good people. We are moral, and this, it is not the faults of us. Believe in all, believe in us... and we will make it through. Not me myself, no, but you. Skye, Karen, Soren, Goro, everyone, please succeed. Find who is behind this, and tear the metaphor Bastille apart, brick by brick. Win. For the good of all."

Her speech delivered, Orianthe bowed her head. "I accept my fate. Let it be over now."

"For the good of all."

[despairdungeon]

"Orianthe, the votes are in, and it looks like it'd take one hell of a miracle to save your ass now."

Awu adds, quiet but audible, "You sick little fucker."

"Let's see how she did it, folks!"

Despite her secret- her cannibalism- being revealed, Orianthe still had use for mastermind information. If she could help the guild find Awu's master- the mastermind behind the guild- then she could possibly bring the group closer to discovering the mastermind's identity, helping and possibly saving them all!

The problem was, Orianthe weighed two stone soaking wet. She was, quite literally, a bit of a pansy. So tackling a teammate from nowhere would likely end in an unfortunate game of 'she loves me, she loves me not'. Instead, Orianthe took careful planning to her scheme, and cornered Hiro in Carver's Shrine.

The ghost-type Hiro was drawn to the shrine, hiding inside, when Orianthe threw down her foe-seal orb, pausing her. It was a quick matter of slicing open the pearls around her neck, and the stylist was offed. Orianthe's plan was to frame Eago- leaves are leaves, and since they both knew razor leaf, Orianthe figured framing Eago would be as easy as perfect apple pie.

However, Orianthe didn't account for Eago hiding in the loft, among the numerous treasures of the late, great Carver. Eago was peering down when the foe-seal orb was activated, and upon becoming paused, lost her footing and fell down to the lower part of the shrine.

Attempting to make the snooping sewaddle's death seem like an accident, Orianthe snapped her neck firmly, propping her up against the ladder to make her death appear to be nothing but a nasty fall. But she couldn't help herself- she took a foot for the road, before fleeing the scene.

"Humanitarian... just got that. I don't think I've ever been this angry in my whole life. Any last words before the big X, Orianthe Lecter?"

[despairdungeon]

maybe you guys need to backpetal // Chapter 4 Trial // Orianthe // re: Soren, attn: all

All these accusations flying around, all directed at her! Sure, she had lost control of herself last exploration, but that was from dire circumstances, not something like this. Her secrets were as good as told, and Orianthe did not see why she would be implicated into this horrible act as such.

"If I may have a speech to defend myself," the little humanitarienne quietly but firmly stated, "there is no evidence for my involvement. Madame Eago was donned in a leaf herself. The leaves could be like bullets from her, non? She may have been affected as well, even if she has passed." Orianthe was silent for a moment, and then continued.

"She was above, on the, the, euh... The tree piece above. There is evidence that she was there, and she may have picked out Hiro to be... Well, she may have attacked by surprises, and fallen to her own fate from this. I hope that is not the case, but it seems the most likely." She sighed. This was stressful, not to mention hard on the heart.

"We are all good people, though. We are all such good people..."

It was more like a prayer than a remark.

You gotta make a stand! (RE: Goro, Skye, Karen ATTN: All)

At last, they were finally coming around, but did they really have to be so simpering in the way they did so?

"Well, there we have it. As we can see, nobody seems to boast the arsenal required to take down Hiro. For reference, my moves are Scratch, Taunt, Icy Wind and Feint Attack, so once again, it wasn't me. But we do come into a bit of a snag when you consider that Nuime herself probably had Grass moves that could account for the fresh biomass, but this is a non-issue. If it was Nuime that killed Hiro, who killed Nuime? The glaring answer is still Orianthe. Case closed, I say."

[despairdungeon]

RE: skye and soren mostly but idk anymore || Trial || Goro

Of course the Zorua was shaking.

The horrifying thoughts of someone has to die someone has to die someone has to die never left his mind since they appeared during the first trial. Now it was, what, the fourth? And nothing changed. He had been spared once; a miracle, it had seemed. But no miracle would stop this trial and allow them to go home.

Goro listened to everyone's words, carefully thinking about what to do. Why was he so worried? He was a king! But such things did not matter here. Adjusting the little crown and turning to the blind Sableye, he nervously began to speak.

"I... ah, I can use Fury Swipes, Fake Tears, Pursuit and Scratch. T-though, I doubt it would be easy to injure someone like that with this small body... N-Nuime, I mean."

Turning to Soren, he continued.

"M-may I add something..? Around Hiro's body, I found petals and leaves. They... seemed to be fresh, so I believe they could have come from Orianthe. Or one of her attacks..? Does anyone else have attacks that involve those things..?"

[despairdungeon]

Re: Soren, Re: Skye (Karen, Trial 4)

"I'm also too much of a scaredy cat to even kill a living breathing being. I'm actually surprised I made it this far with out being killed off." She replied to Soren but turned when she heard Skye speak. 

"Double Slap, Helping hand, Pound, and Play Nice. That's what's at the top of my head of what I can remember my move set being. I have yet to use any of them because I'm just kinda scared to? I'm not a violent person much like you guys suspect of me, I guess? But why would a Veterinarian who has saves so many animals be able to hurt well.. Whatever we got turned into. We've become animal-like creatures. Although still kinda freaked out about it. I've actually kinda liked being in this body a lot more than my Human normal form. Only because.. no one can see how thin I really am in actuality. if it weren't for the cruddy shit like this happening cause of a certain firey menace from Hell, wouldn't you all agree that this is kinda awesome?"

[despairdungeon]

Re: Soren||Skye Travers|| Trial 4

"....Well, how about we tell everyone what kind of attacks we know? That way we can...well at least get an idea on who might be the killer? I for an example know the following attacks. Astonish, Leer, Zen headbutt and Scratch. So, I suppose there is a possibility that I may have done it but I can assure that I wouldn't have been able to do it...or at least not properly."

She would lie if she would say that the motive didn't tempt her to kill but she didn't do it. Especially because she knew that she would probably mess it up if she tried.

Evil Child's Echo Chamber (Soren Trial Start)

Soren sighed and tutted as the people began to say their respective pieces. Once again, nobody was getting anywhere, once again people were content with just stating the obvious without drawing any conclusions, and once again nobody showed any interest in actually addressing the matter of the motive. Were these seriously his fellow classmates once upon a time?

In any case, given the circumstances and his notoriety, it seemed that he could be a viable suspect and so it was time to unleash one of his 108 special skills; covering his arse.

"Looking at the wound that Hiro received I'd suspect that people would start pinning the blame on me. Well it wasn't. 1. I had no reason to. I told you and I'll tell it again, I have no secrets. 2. I wouldn't be able to snap Nuime's neck without marking them with my claws and 3. I would've made a much cleaner wound if I slashed Hiro's throat. And so we have eliminated one person."

Soren looked around at the band of merry liars he had failed to connect with over the course of this strange adventure. Bunch of goddamn fools all of them. Especially that darn Zorua with the stupid King's Rock.

"All of you seem to take the wrong approach. In matters like these where speed is of the essence, you can't just keep stating facts and slowly eliminate like that. No, we should act like this; who couldn't have done it. Feel rest assured that you, Karen, and Spheal person, whatever your name is, are free from suspicion. A neck snap requires significant motor strength and a neck slash requires a sharp object."

This was so much faster. Why didn't they do this earlier?

"And so then there were three. Skye, Orianthe and dickhead over there." He remarked, jerking his thumb at Goro's direction. Seriously, what was his problem? "As much as I'd love to suspect you, you're in the clear for now. Now, the thing about Misdreavus is that they levitate. Fairly obvious but pretty important once you think about it. Why? Because a grounded assailant wouldn't be able to slash their throat. It would take either another levitator or a ranged weapon. In addition, Nuime's leg was missing. Our assailant seems to have a fascination with limbs. And thankfully one of us fits all three of those criteria."

He looked at his claws, making a mock show of sharpening them.

"Orianthe. You can both levitate and have access to Magical Leaf. It would also be possible to snap somebody's neck by using Vine Whip. You have a tendency to eat limbs which would explain where Nuime's leg went. We already seem to know your greatest secret, so tell us, was the information on our situation that you got really worth it?"

[despairdungeon]

What's the use of actually trying to you know... solve it? [Trial 4 start] {Reply to Skye}

"So.. Her head was forceful impacted. She was a ghost type though right? Or are we talking about someone different?"

[despairdungeon]

Trial Start|| Skye Travers|| Trial 4

She couldn't believe that two people died this time. On the other hand she did understand why someone would do it. After all even she felt rather tempted for a second when the motive was announced to them.

"....So, I guess it is rather important to mention that Nuime's neck got forcefully broken? Like I highly doubt that she got pushed against the stairs or something like that. "

[despairdungeon]

Trial 4 - START!

"Bouw-wow-bow! You know the drill, don't you, kids? Find the double-murderer! Double the fun, awuwuwuwu!"
