WEEK 1 - TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

It's been a long night, with the knowledge burning in your brain that one of your number has died. Even if the victim wasn't known very well, this dangerous game of Mafia was still played, and that might be the worst of all. Not only that, but the Apprentice's warning still rings heavy in your minds - especially after seeing the state of Szayel's body.

The Lady appears for once when everyone is gathered, leading you all up the stairs to the third floor, past whatever glimpses of the upper floors you might get. The room she takes you to is, frankly, extravagant. There's snacks and drinks waiting inside, along with....a new person? It's a man, and as The Lady leaves and closes the doors behind her, the man tilts his head up and speaks.

"You can call me The Captain. Since one of you have died during the game, it's your responsibility to try and vote someone out. You have six hours to talk about it, but then-"

He taps on a box on the table in front of him, labeled 'VOTES'

"-you'll have to put in your vote so someone can be punished. Not voting, well...That's a lot like not playing. And trust me - you want to play."

The man sits down at the table, leaning back and placing his feet on the table while crossing his arms.

"So get to it."

As he says that, music begins to play in the room...


VICTIM: SZAYELAPPORO GRANZ

30 GUESTS REMAIN.

[purrtagonist]

I'm not.

[but it's really an argument of semantics. he wants to find whomever the Jorogumo is possessing and. . . well. save them, if he can. expel the monster, corner them, and ask them what the fuck is going on here]

Why us? Why not the other "guests?"

[foundationmods]

That's classified.

[purrtagonist]

[jiiii]

What clearance level do I need to learn that classified information?

[foundationmods]

Around a B class. Or is it a D class? I can never tell.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . wow that was a shitpost question HE'S SURPRISED HE GOT AN ANSWER]

How do I get a promotion?

[foundationmods]

I dunno. You people'd know more about that than me.

[purrtagonist]

[uh]

Nnnnoooo we wouldn't?

[foundationmods]

[The Captain shrugs, and then falls silent.]

[purrtagonist]

[. . .]

Can you tell me what time Granz-san was killed, and what time Yoshi-kun was trapped in his room?

[foundationmods]

2am for Prince Albert, and a little before then for Garbo-Trash.

[purrtagonist]

[okay, so Yoshi's timeline checks out]

[nods curtly, but doesn't say "thank you" because FUCK YOU GUY]
