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.

Nanase-san wasn't particularly shy about sharing his ability, though. I don't think they would have needed to be told. But Nanase-san needs a calculator to understand the numbers he sees.

Comparatively, he would seem less threatening than Granz-san, who had no such restriction as far as I know.

Mmm, but none of us really know the full extent of Yoshi-san's ability, right? That includes the mafia. If they're only killing one person a week, perhaps they tried to lock Yoshi-san in to keep him from potentially revealing anything about the murder?

[justfists]

I don't know the full extent of it, but I did ask him about it once, and he was very forthcoming with the limitations, even when I didn't ask.

Granz-san was also particularly forthcoming, even though I never specifically spoke to him about this. I just observed it in other conversations.

I think the point is, it's a unique and uniquely useful ability.

[moonlightbeast]

It is, which is why he might have been locked in by this spider. They may have assumed he can do things he cannot, which is why they did that.

[justfists]

This might be a dead end, until we can narrow down our suspects.
