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.

I said I'm not sure I believe that you're a vampire. No one else around here obviously drinks blood or feeds on people

[Well, there's always this and other bloodbag shenanigans, which she will watch closely!]

... It looks like the staff are willing to vouch for you, though, who knows how good their word is.

[She's going to be suspicious for a while.]

[delusive]

[katherine expected this so she isn't surprised by the reaction honestly]

Yeah, I know— that's why I'm asking how you want me to prove it?

[latebluemer]

I don't think it's possible for you to prove it right this minute, but I'll be keeping an eye on you, okay? It would probably help if you started drinking those bloodbags in public, now that we all know your secret.

[It's not like she wants to see this girl nomming fresh O, but like. What else can they do? And anyway, this is earlier in the trial and in backdating land, it's not as urgent yet that they pin the blame.]

[delusive]

Yeah, sure keep an eye on me, ask me any questions you want, whatever you feel you need to do, that's fine by me. I can definitely drink it more publicly if everyone is okay with that too.

[katherine just shrugs at that before her expression softens just slightly] Sorry for not mentioning it before, it's just— it's out of habit from back home given how people usually are with my kind.

[latebluemer]

[There's a hesitation before she nods.]

I'd imagine there aren't many people who are just okay with vampires, if the people you're talking about are just regular people.

One thing I do want to know: are... the vampire's weaknesses the same as in all the movies?

[delusive]

Regular people and including those who hunt us down too.

[katherine isn't too surprised at being asked about her weaknesses but she looks in thought for a moment] Yeah, more or less the same with some things.
