FOURTH INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

There were no punishments this week though some uncovered secrets might have hurt just as hard. Everyone's been in the castle for over a month and bonds have been forged. As Friday dawns, there's a faint hope that maybe nothing will go wrong again.

It's time to gather your courage and your wits as you see if anyone decided to kill once more.

So do we have to be afraid of you anymore or not?

[She's at the edge of the city, already too small for her, screaming up into the ceiling, where the voice rings from.]

When I see you... WHEN I SEE YOU!!!!!

1/2

[The voice laughs at her declaration.]

The requirements for the game has been met. The ending is in sight. If there is anyone left for a trial in two weeks from today, I will use the Queen's Glass Game at the end of that final trial.

[There is... something different. About this voice, though. It doesn't really sound like Alice, now. It sounds like someone from back home, Mizuki.]

I cannot control your fear but I think that you still have some very good reasons to be afraid. The Queen is gone but that doesn't mean no one is running the castle. I think it's time for me to take up my pen name again.

I always love being Alice the most but it seems that everyone here needs a little more.

It's time for me to become Nursery Rhyme the Storyteller once more.

[Oh, that snaps him out of things. He looks up at the ceiling, alarm clear on his face.]

[whimsicalism]

[Have some Chesire laughter, Allen.]

[Well now he's just silently panicking HE HATES THIS]

Shut up, Date...

[She's rolling her eyes instinctively before catching herself midmotion. Freezing.]

Shut up, Date! You're not—there's only one Date!!

[whimsicalism]

I'll see you at the trial.

[From over where she's being upset, Dark Dream suddenly looks up.]

[octopups]

[And close around her where Amdi is likewise being upset, all of him look up too.]

M-Mister Steel...?
