Trial End
Who: All representatives
When: The last day of the trial.
Where: The place only trial members can go, that ceremony place.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: none at the moment
Summary: One by one, everyone shows up to meet with the Sphinx. Due to the mod issues, this isn't going to be a big thread, just one where people come in, post giving (or not giving) what they've found / figured out to Sphinx, and getting a reply from her. (If anyone by some chance did not get a riddle from me, though I THINK I got everyone, just email my mod email and i'll immediately share the riddle and its answer, and then you can decide if s/he solved it or not. D= I apologize for this. Otherwise, by default it'll be an unsolved one and that team won't get a point...?)

Metatron and Lucifer had rounded up all the representatives - no one but the representatives could enter this place - and the time came for each person to bring their findings to the Sphinx, who waited in that same dark area beyond the large doors. The darkness was vast, as it had been before. Yet this time there was no throne. Sphinx simply stood, her cloak gleaming in the light given by the two candles on either side of her.

	Frank entered the chamber hesitantly. "It's... Francis Johnathan Sunderland, and I have... what the box was hiding," he said. He lifted the dress and undergarments in his arms, then put them down near the Sphinx, trying not to get too close. He thought for a moment, then added, "Thank you." (Reply to this)

Oh, he had figured out what the riddle had said. Something about a place that no man had made, and a place that no man guardeth. But, Flauros was a pathological liar, and a trial wasn't going to make him change. It should have come as no surprise when Flauros walked in completely empty handed.

"Hey, babe! Listen, I didn't get that thing you asked for. I found it, but then it got stolen, because nobody was fucking guarding it. Isn't that a shame, Sweety Pie?" He said all this with a mischievous grin.

Mercury, sulfur, and salt...

L knew the answer to his riddle... he knew it well, and he desperately wanted to be recognized for it. It had been a great deal of hard work, and to let Asgard down would do nothing for his standing. However, gaining the trust of Light... he'd had an important decision to make.

Mercury, sulfur, and salt.

Approaching the Sphinx and keeping his head bowed, L set an apple on the floor in front of him, and then quickly walked away before Light could see him there.

However...

For himself, for Asgard, for Blythe, L had been unable to throw the Trial entirely. He had removed the core of the apple from the bottom, and carefully replaced it with a sulfur crystal, a bit of salt, and a trickle of mercury from a broken thermometer, all tied together in a misshapen but even globe. The symbol for man's temptation and sin enveloped his presentation to the Sphinx and disguised it from any who might see it, but at the core was Prima Materia, pure and true as the eternal soul of humanity.

With no way to examine the apple closely, Light would have no possible way of discovering what L had done. Neither would a member of Asgard, if indeed the deception would suffice to solve the riddle. L would maintain that he had failed and accept the shame, but in the grand scheme of things, he wanted to have his cake and eat it, too. He wanted to take Light's life and feel like he'd atoned for the sins of his own which had hurt Asgard.

Mello hated that he had to come out like this. What. A. Fucking. DRAG.

Sighing heavily as he approached the creature, he greeted her. "Hello, Sphinx bitch. I didn't know what the fuck you were talking about with that stupid riddle, so I brought you a bunch of stuff, just in case one of them happens to be it. First off. Some of my pubic hair." he dropped a plastic bag with some thick, curly blond hair in it. "Second. A box of jumbo condoms, because you ALWAYS can use those." he dumped that next to the plastic bag. "And third, a party hat from Y2K that's covered with poop. Hell, I don't know HOW that happened, but it was funny. Hheheheheh." he dropped the horribly stained party hat in the heap that had accumulated.

"Whoop. So long," he said, turning and leaving with a salute.

Jazz steps in front of the sphinx and falls into a warrior's bow.

"My apologies, lady," he says. "I was not able to bring those I trust before you, as this room does not permit it. Because of this, I give you their pictures."

From a hidden compartment in his armour Jazz takes four photographs. Two of them show the faces of Asgard residents, Frank Sunderland and Ryusaki. The other two depict Christopher Carrion and Jazz' lover Midvalley.

"I hope I did not offend you with my answer to your riddle."

Light walked in to the Sphinx's area, staring at her for a moment before pulling out a lone feather. It was the best-looking one of those he and Sal had collected, in his opinion.

"I am Light Yagami. The answer to my riddle was a feather...So, I present this to you." He placed the feather down on the floor in front of her and then stood back up and stared, waiting to hear her reply.

Blythe stepped into the room cautiously, again having to be careful at staring at the rainbow aura for too long. She had Metatron by the hand and hadn't explained anything to him before she'd entered - only that she needed him for a moment.

Once inside, she brought Metatron before the Sphinx. "I am Blythe and I've brought you the answer to my riddle. It is Metatron."

She waited for a moment, hoping against hope she was right, because she really wanted to get out of there.

As he clutched the water bottle in his right hand, Mitch once again stepped into the Sphinix's dark, and slightly disorienting room. Thinking about the night when he had solved the riddle helped to calm his nerves a bit. He remembered the blue flowers of Twilight Meadow opening up and releasing the tiny sparkles, like fireflies, into the cool night air and how he mixed those sparkles into the water and honey mixture.

If he followed the riddle correctly, then he had won his part for Asgard.

Holding up the bottle, he said, a little awkwardly, "I'm Mitchell Roslyn and I've brought what you've asked for."

Alessa walked into the room clutching her item in her hand. With all the chaos that had been going on, she'd forgotten that she had figured out the riddle. But last night she'd noticed the ring on the dresser. The ring from the corpse, and she remembered swimming down in that lake. She remembered actually staring at the damn corpse for what felt like a very long, before she actually grabbed the ring.

"It's Alessa Gillespie, and I have what you wanted." Silently she held out a ring box, opened it, and hoped against hope that she had the right item.
