Week 6, Saturday

[foundationmods]

[After a tense night and a quiet morning, everyone will get an email at 11 am. The email comes straight from MC.]

Meet me in the studio at noon.

[It's probably best to follow those instructions.

When they get to the studio, they will find that twelve podiums have been arranged in a semi-circle on the stage. Each person can take whichever one they want, they aren't assigned.

There is the box of prinny jurors once more, but this time the twelve prinnies seated there might look familiar. In addition, there is a new spot next to the prinnies where a single stool behind a small table is left empty.

Given that the seat John used previously is taken up by MC, John looks at the group awkwardly before going to sit on that stool.

It's time to begin the final trial.]

VOTE HERE

PART 1

[foundationmods]

[Once everyone is seated, MC will speak up.]

Given the occurrences of the last few days and a certain person's involvement in this case, I will be stepping in as the Host.

You all are here to discuss who murdered Dazai Osamu. When you have reached your conclusion, place your vote. You need a majority of seven votes to declare a person guilty. Whoever is voted guilty shall be punished after the vote.

You have four hours to deliberate. Use your time wisely.

[Voting will close at 4 pm EST, and shortly after we will move on to part 2 of the trial.]

MC and John

[foundationmods]

Comment here to ask questions of either MC or John.

[houndumb]

An' how do you know the fucker is even dead.

[DEADEYES MC MAPLE TOLD ME TO EYE EVERYTHING SO LET DOG EYE HIM PROPERLY]

[foundationmods]

[MC's soul is somehow red and white at the same time. It's not like...blended into pink or anything, but the colors seem to swirl in on each other? It also feels both human and monster, and yet also neither at the same time. ]

He is dead. His soul is no longer in his body.

Pre trial

[darkova]

[As everyone is preparing to meet with MC:]

Here, take these. There is one for everyone.

[Each PC (and John) will be given one red curry scented potion. If drank or crushed three red fire spirits will appear and circle them. Each spirit can take one attack in their place ]

Just in case.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen hates what she's about to say to MC.]

Given the circumstances, I'd like to ask you to clarify which individual involved in recent events, if any, "Dazai Osamu" refers to.

[houndumb]

Oh, hey, the raccoon didn't run off with the whole stash.

[Wasn't that the point of moose day-- OK no it wasn't, but still.]

[ seeing the voting is kind of terrible because there is a very high chance that this is completely rigged and that's kind of bullshit, which is why Inaba slams her hands on the podium. ]

Wait a fucking second-- are we sure this is a 'fair trial', though? Do you, as the Host know who did the fucking murder?

[ the cameras were shot, after all, this is a valid question to ask. ]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver smiles and takes the potion] What would we do without you, Ingway?

[darkova]

Thankfully the curry was still in the kitchen. But this and what I have in my bag is all that remains- after this, we are on our own.

So please, do not call on me to transform anyone.

[foundationmods]

[MC is the one who speaks up here.]

You explain it to me: who does 'Dazai Osamu' refer to?

[darkova]

Die, likely.

[foundationmods]

[MC is the one who answers here.]

I do know who did the murder, yes.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I know of at least three people it could refer to: the man over there, the man we found in the living room, and the historical author. There might be more. I want to know which one we're talking about.

[iblistriggered]

You're right.

[duskhound]

L-Let's start with the basics, shall we? The body was discovered around 8 to 9 AM, and evidence indicated the death happened roughly an hour before that.

The cause of death appears to have been bleeding out, due to three gunshot wounds to the chest. He was also shot in the leg, but while we found the bullet for the leg, the bullets that went through his chest were nowhere to be found.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Did you see it yourself, then?

[darkova]

I always have believed in being aware and confident in your own worth. Humbleness is over-rated.

[foundationmods]

And, like I said, you tell me. Your job is to explain what happened, and if clarifying 'who is Dazai Osamu' is a part of it then you will need to do that.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

...Thank you, Ingway.

[He'll tuck it away in his coat pocket for now.]

[darkova]

Could the killer have taken them?

[dereban]

Follow up question, then: [ just so she can literally have it on the record ] if you're saying that, then can I confirm - the one who did the murder was "somebody that is listed in the voting panel"?

Camera Monitoring

[iblistriggered]

[Sorry John, apparently you don't get your laptop back. Silver will have it set up at his podium so he can monitor the cameras. He's paying attention to the proceedings of course, but he's also scrolling through the available video and audio feeds]

[darkremnants]

[ S'up MC. It's your favorite. ]

Can we ask you about your whereabouts when the event took place?
