    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    "I don't know what we do now. Even if we make it out of this game..." and if this is real, "I don't know what I would do." Abigail sighed. "I guess there's nothing I can do to help you, but... at least we're not alone in all this. Maybe after all this is over I could be arranged to be dropped...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail yelled at the top of her lungs, as if her words could reach the dead if only they were loud enough. "Noci. Ta. Lain! When I asked if you had redirected me, I would have appreciated... A. Fucking. Answer." Now, their only way to speak to those no longer among them would be to ask Lee to...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail took a step back, as if she'd been physically hit by the words. That was the exact answer she'd been hoping not to hear, from the exact person she'd been hoping not to hear it from. "Y-You don't know what it is at all? That's what vaporeon saw when he scanned what was supposedly 'your'...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail felt like this didn't bode well for her, seeing as she'd thus far failed to uphold the end of her deal that involved... well, actually catching anyone. She'd gotten nothing but clean results thus far... If someone was falsely clearing people... She had to admit that there was a...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail pressed the Lens of Nia against Gen's gift. Anything but coal, please... The image of the wrapping paper and box inside the lens faded to translucency, revealing the contents. It was... a blanket? She slid the lens around the surface of the gift to see if there was anything else. In...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    G-Gen? No. It couldn't be Gen. He was her favourite figment of her envenomed imagination... Oh. Could that have been why the Nihilego venom had let him comfort her? Why it had let her have that sense of solidarity? So that she could be betrayed. It made too much sense. It was just setting her...

    After a moment, the screen reverted. "Nevermind. Changing back to Noctilain."

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail didn't like the look of that board. "I'd like to experimentally change my vote to Nilam, to see what happens."

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail pointed to herself. "I did. Well, I don't know if it was the murder weapon, but I had a murder weapon. Or what sounded like one. A cane. That killed a so-called 'Krampus,' whoever that is."

    "Noctilain it is, then..."

    Poppin' Arms ~ Cafeteria

    Celeste arrived late... Aaaand there was Darkwhite. Perhaps he should act like he was just passing by and continue on his way... Still, he couldn't help but hesitate at the entrance.

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    "Fine, I'll testify on Squirt's murder. Or his 'shmurder' if we have to call it something else like we're in some kind of E-rated movie. Squirt's shmurderer is Mia, but she's dead now, so you can't put her on trial for shmurdering him. So, the real question is who enabled Mia's shmurderous...

    "So..." Abigial sighed. "Let's get this straight." "So, Squirt can't be dead because he's a trained soldier, and he's a child." She laughed humourlessly. "Both die. Get used to it. In fact, both are more prone to dying than average. It comes with the territory. I don't care how much you trained...

    [I realized I should CW this for Abigail considering wether dying would be a good thing. That's something I feel like I'm obligated to edit in, but if that's not okay, mods can revert the edit. The ONLY change was this and an Inline Spoiler tag. Gen and Lee were hugging her. Was their touch...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail stared at the paw in front of her. How did she know it was real? She could be deep in a coma, a Symbiont's venom coursing through her veins as her brain conjured unknowable nightmares the likes of which she was only beginning to see so that it could turn her fears into more of its toxic...

    "If you've been through something like this before," Abigail whispered, struggling to muster enough energy to speak, "how are you still sane?"

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Abigail stared at the scene unfolding before her. Maybe Jesse had been right, and this place was some sort of purgatory. But... Did that make her dead? Maybe it did. Maybe her human body was nothing more than a cloud of subatomic particles in a world infinitely far away. If that was the case...

    "Hold on..." Abigail gritted her teeth. "What does that mean? And when did you do it? Did that redirect anything Mia tried to do while dead, which would be nothing... or did it redirect things done to Mia? Because if it's the latter we need to know wether it was used before Palkia checked Mia's...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Her investigation complete, the Lens of Nia clouded over again. "Tabitha is... innocent. Huh. Go figure. I guess Nilam is our next-best shot?"

    Abigail pulled out her lens. The fogginess in the black opal glass had cleared come morning. She smirked at Tabitha. "How about I just scan you? That'd clear things up... one way or another."
