so i answered this well before i had actually gotten anything done in this event, and realize belatedly maybe i should have not done that, but i'm hoping to not deviate much, if at all, from my intent with it nsdjkfbb

anyway the main reason i'm replying is i wanted to make mention of my OTHER bit-- i played around a little with trial b, in that akira's fears didn't manifest physically for a while. i figured, he's pretty awful about ever voicing his fears, especially the ones tied to his usefulness to the people he cares about, so they WILL manifest into physical things at some point in one or a couple threads, but he keeps going around helping everyone else fight off THEIR fears and as a result further pushing away his own.

if this changes i'll reply to this comment with anything else noteworthy. :>

thank you mods for this delightful event we love trauma.

Emet-Selch would not have accepted the crime he did indeed commit for Trial C. He doesn't see his 'genocide' as genocide after all so there's nothing to acknowledge about it. (He's gonna be stuck there forever--)

That said, it's an interesting situation because he views the crime as relative depending on whose moral code or point of view you're using. "Mass genocide and failure to treat living persons with respect" isn't really true to him when the life-forms of your star are technically fragments of what once were 'proper' people. To Emet, it's like if someone were to call the fragments of a broken pot a proper pot as well.

Anyway, I assume this is based on Expiation's native moral code so tl;dr he does not accept the crime he did commit.

I'll make a note if fyodor decides to be either helpful or not in the trials of others he's currently peeking into, but more importantly, he accidentally killed Gogol thanks to a combination of the bad luck from the casino removing his sense of touch and the fact he has a deadly ability and his life sucks.

He won't hide what he did nor deny it. So anyone who wants to make note of it is welcome to.

OTHER:

[opheliac]

my other option is:

— during this whole mess, jinx had been going through withdrawals and had been the weekend before the event took place too. so after she completed all the trials and got out of the maze, she finally fainted and fell unconscious.

I have no idea who would had picked her up and rushed her to a clinic or something but idk, I'm sure someone would had.

Or maybe everyone just used her as a rug and stepped on her for hours, whatever. But you get the idea. The girl is out cold by the end of this.

[quizpersona]

"finished two trials before leaving the maze" but make it "finished two trials before getting mcmurdered by a intimate friend on accident in the maze"

[bulleting]

Caitlyn finished all three of her trials, but she chose not to leave the maze in an attempt to find Vi. She only escaped when the maze disappeared.

[beshackled]

Picked both monster and concept for Trial B because it is not the concept (monster) he fears, but what harm it may cause to others if it remains free.

[breakin_ur_lore]

"Accepted a crime he committed in Trial C" except you could really argue that he didn't actually commit it. His crime is "killing his grandmother"; in actuality she gave her life so that he could have enough power to defeat the Big Bad. So it wasn't exactly his fault...but he could be (and is) convinced that it is.
