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.

[delusive]

Yeah, usually especially home it's something that's kept a secret.

I'm a vampire.

[enter_the_darkness]

And that means what, exactly?

[ Since he's been paying attention: ]

Other than wanting to drink blood...

[delusive]

Honestly, just drinking blood is the gist of it if I still want to be alive.

[enter_the_darkness]

Ah.





Sounds kind of boring.

[delusive]

Boring? [wow excuse you. being a vampire is the best life decision she made back when she turned]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's cocking his head to the side a little. ]

Just needing to drink blood to live? ... Yeah. Unless you can eat other foods, too, that sounds like something that would get pretty depressing fast.

[ There's a very small shrug. ]

Not to mention, it feels a little much for people to need secrecy for.

[delusive]

Yeah, I can still eat regular food. [she rolls her eyes at that] I just need to regularly take blood as well.

You would think that but most humans are typically scared of what they don't understand or know since they made it a point to hunt down my kind and kill us.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He lifts his eyebrows a little... and then he gives a faint smirk at the last part. ]

Yeah, they are.

[ The implication is nonchalant, here. It's likely no surprise he isn't human, given the... eyes. ]

But, a lot of people are just narrow-minded, in general, when it comes to everything that isn't them.

[delusive]

Yeah, no kidding. I definitely had to deal with a lot of that back home so I'm not surprised it's not much different here with how people are reacting.
