[Video / Action -- the kitchen.]

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

Waking up to Shiitake was one thing. Finding button mushrooms in her room another. It wasn't until she noticed that there were tiny enokitake sprouting in the carpet she'd just walked across barefoot that Ran began to get suspicious. It took talking to Eddie for her to put the pieces together, however -- and now, well. Hair pulled back under a scarf, sleeves folded up and wearing an apron, Ran is humming to herself as she works on a cream of mushroom soup. Glancing at the bubbling pot beside her she frowns thoughtfully. Looks like they need a few more mushrooms -- well that's no problem. Concentrating, she states hard at the chopping board. Within seconds a batch of field mushrooms have formed. When they're the right size, Ran stops concentrating on the board, reaching for the chopping knife. She hits the record button on her blackberry, propped up against the bench.]

Conan-kun, Ai-chan -- I'm making soup for lunch. Do you two want to eat in the kitchen?

Everyone else, it's nice to meet you! I'm Mouri Ran. I'm making mushroom soup, if anyone wants some. It's in the kitchen, so feel free to come by and help yourself.

★ Jessica --> 002 [Video]

[The feed shows a very subdued Jessica. And a large hole in the wall behind her.]

H-Hey, so... before coming to this manor, were any of you... dead?

I know it sounds crazy. It doesn't make any freakin' sense.

Memory ღ 9. [Video]

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

[Video starts with a very chipper looking Ritsuka smiling down at the camera.]

Happy almost New Year, Manor people! If you don't already know me, my name is Aoyagi Ritsuka and I-

[A panicked yet identical sounding voice interrupts him from under his bed.]

Stop talking to them! You don't even know most of these people! What if they try to hurt you?!

[The boy on the screen laughs.]

Don't be silly, you stupid scaredy cat, they're all just as confused as we are.

[Another Ritsuka comes onto screen after shoving the cheerful looking one to the ground.]

Why do you only get to talk to the people? What's so special about you!

[The Ritsuka hiding under the bed lets out a frightened squeak and the cheerful one just giggles until they're all distracted by the sound of the bedroom door opening.]

Alright you guys, I brought you lunc- What are you doing with my phone?

It's mine to!

And mine!

Mine to, but you can have it! Just stay away!

Just put it down and come eat! [There is a popping sound and another Ritsuka appears in the room. This one looks and sounds surly.]

Stop making stupid videos, you idiots! It's so uncool and you! Quit hiding under the bed! You look DUMB!

[There's a crashing sound followed by a frightened squeal, someone laughing and a very tired sounding groan.]


((ooc: Sorry if this is confusing! Basically Ritsuka's been given the power to multiply himself and he has no clue how to control it... another problem is each copy can only feel one emotion, hence the abuse of colors! Plain text for normal Ritsuka, orange for happy Ritsuka, gray for scared, green for jealous and red for angry.))

Fifth Trial [In Person]

[cantapollygize.livejournal.com]

[There's a completely solid-looking Apollo in the kitchen, staring mournfully at the food.]

[He can't eat it.]

[He can't TOUCH anything.]

[Feel free to laugh at his misfortune.]

16 Star Ball || Dende [in person]

[holy-pickle.livejournal.com]

[Dende had grown a bit worried about his friend Tom, as they had decided to make plans to see some movies together. Dende feared that perhaps Tom was worried that Dende already had plans, which since he's a total nerd he doesn't.

He walked through the halls to Tom's room and knocks on the door, causing the door to open a crack]

Tom? Um, are you in?

[The fact that the door wasn't closed leaves him a bit nervous, did someone steal something from his room or something? He pushes open the door and steps in]

I'm coming in...

[When he steps in and sees Tom lying on the bed he panics and rushes to his friends side. His eye's widen when he sees the injuries, broken neck and a hole in the stomach from some sort of laser or ki blast, he automatically knew that signature, but he refused to believe it. Shaking the thought of his mentor and friend out of his head he instinctively holds out his hands over Tom to try and heal him in vain. His powers didn't work on the dead.

He stumbled out of the room and into the halls, his hand over his mouth and his eyes welling up. He honestly felt as though he were going to be ill. He's seen worse injuries before, and he's also seen unfair murder before, but that never made it any easier...]
