Abnormal Days - The Summoning
It’s been a few hours since investigation started, and frankly, there wasn’t much to find. Was that a good thing? Who knows. Either way, it’s leaking a bit into noon when your IDs start to buzz again.
“Investigation period is now over. Please report to the Trial Entrance in the Courtyard. I repeat...”
Trial entrance? They have to mean the podium there, right? Well, you’re being summoned, so you might as well head on over, unless you wanted to end up as wolf chow.
When you get there, you’re not surprised to see Alaric standing on top of the podium like he usually does. You are, however, surprised to see Monowolf here as well, on the complete opposite side of the podium from him. It looks like they were stuck in a staring contest until you guys came. Once he’s aware of your presence, Alaric breaks eye contact with the wolf and runs over to talk to you as a group.
“...I shall be accompanying you in this trial. The wolf will not let Ina enter, but she wishes you all the best of luck.”
Good to know you’ll have some support from the sidelines. The wolf coughs, grabbing your attention.
...Is that all? That better be all. Now, if you may, come stand on the podium with us.
You’re all ushered onto the podium, which is just large enough to fit the nineteen of you plus Alaric and Monowolf, and then everything goes black.
