Week 3, Saturday

[foundationmods]

This time, when everyone files into the studio, they aren't escorted to their seats. Instead, they are sent to podiums up on the stage arrange in a semi-circle. Everyone can see each other, and everyone is also visible to the cameras. Off to stage right is a jury box with 12 prinnies in it, all in various states of 'fancy dress'. One is wearing a suit top, another a blouse, one a huge Colonial-era wig. To stage left at box 0 is Dazai's seat, where he will be spending most of the trial, but he will get up to move around at times. And in the very center is a picture of Aqua. Once everyone is in their spots, one of the prinnies will hit a gavel against the podium in front of it, signaling the start of the trial.

It's time to find Aqua's killer.

[...Um.]

...Why are you listed on here as a potential killer?

[guileturncoat]

Because, under certain circumstances, deaths I cause would be considered murders. I'm only allowed to kill all of you in certain circumstances, of course! So if you feel that I killed someone in a way that did not follow my rules, you could vote for me.

[Giving Oda a pointed look.

Don't even think about it.]

[odasaku]

[ big shrug ]

I doubt it’s him.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

I just wanted to remind you not to make any stupid choices.

[Again.]

[duskhound]

In a way that does not follow your rules, is it...?

...Are we allowed to know what those rules are?

[guileturncoat]

1: I may kill people at any time during a game or trial, as I see fit.

2: I may kill anyone breaking a rule.

3: I may kill in self-defense.

[Yep. He just states those plainly for anyone to hear.]

[duskhound]

...So during a game or trial, when someone's breaking a rule, and in self-defense... Understood, thank you for the clarification.

[This might be important later.]

[houndumb]

[He just snorts.]

Real helpful when you're the one makin' the rules.

[guileturncoat]

That's the bonus of being the host!

[scarsnstripes]

You’re not the one responsible for these deaths.

[Is he saying it for the room, their audience... or Dazai? Whoever he’s saying it for, his voice is firm and a little bit angry.]

[guileturncoat]

Maybe, maybe not. You have to look at the evidence and decide for yourself.

[failsaw]

What happens if we just kill you off? We get a new host for this shitshow?

[guileturncoat]

Probably? I don't think they would just shut down the game if I died.
