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]

Sort of.

[wags a finger at his temple]

Sixth sense. Third eye.

[justonezero]

You can see things too?

[Whoa!]

[purrtagonist]

Yes.

[nodding at Yoshi. hello fellow eye buddy]

I don't see numbers, though. I see clues. Important objects and markings that are otherwise hidden from the normal eye.

[justonezero]

[Eye buddy!]

That sounds so cool!

[SPARKLESPARKLE.]

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . .]

[awkwardly rubs the back of his neck]

It's a lot cooler when I can use it to its full potential.

[justonezero]

Huh? Like how?

[purrtagonist]

If I were at full power, I'd be able to see those ghosts without their forms flickering out on me.

[justonezero]

That's awesome! I can't see the ghosts at all!

[purrtagonist]

Hm? No spiritual numbers realted to ghostly activity?

[justonezero]

Guess not! I tried getting a look at Appy during the sleepover, but no dice!

[purrtagonist]

[hm!]

What'd you see? More infinity?

[justonezero]

Nope! I didn't see anything.

Maybe it's because he doesn't have a corporeal form?

[latebluemer]

Huh. So like... Buddhist deities? Or seers?

[She really doesn't understand most of that mumbo-jumbo, she was raised in a techie household, help.]

[purrtagonist]

Ah. . . no. More like. . .

[uh]

Lllllike just me?

[he has nothing to compare it to]

[latebluemer]

What do they look like? Are they... floating?

[She really has no idea what these ghosts look like. Unless they just look like Szayel used to and are walking around, but that's obscurely disappointing.]

[purrtagonist]

No idea.

I only saw brief outlines before they disappeared.
