RECORDING 3: THE FIRST TRIAL

[foundationmods]

The worst has happened... and now you're all here, in the living room where you first met Todd. As all of you enter, the Vessel is there - glowering at all of you, still missing the arm Dazai shorn from him with his touch.

On one of the tables away from the center is a small enclosed box entitled 'VOTES', with slips of paper nearby and a pen. It's sufficiently away from what will be the 'main' action, but not enough to really give anyone complete privacy as they vote.

Once everyone is inside, the doors automatically shut and lock themselves, leaving you trapped in here with the Vessel...and each other.

One of you is a murderer...however, in this game, the guilty do not need to be voted out. As long as there are enough people voted out that matches the victims...then it will be accepted.

...But, can you really let someone get away with murder...?

The choice...is up to you.

VICTIM: OLYMPIA
PEOPLE TO VOTE OUT: 1

WEEK 1 VOTING

...

[Yachi flips to a description of the body as she initially found it and leaves it there for perusal.]

[golden_dream]

...You're a diligent note-taker aren't you? [still, she's reading]

[accessorytomurder]

Y-Yeah.

[She smiles weakly, or... tries to. She gets as far as a grimace.]

I'm... I'm good at that much, at least.

[golden_dream]

No, no. It's good! This is really helpful.

[accessorytomurder]

I-I hope so.

[She looks miserable.]

I... couldn't do anything but scream, when I saw her.

[golden_dream]

...I don't think you'd be alone.

[impyroverished]

That was...a lot of detail!

[Pretty disturbing, if you ask him. Olympia may have been a robot, but it still was rearranging a dead body to form something! Olympia wouldn't have wanted that at all]

That sounded a lot like what happened to the piano. I'm not saying that person did this too, but we should deal with that. Just to discard options.

[accessorytomurder]

It took me...

[Her voice is small and quiet.]

It took me... a long time to write that all d-down, later. But I... I didn't want to say it out loud, if I d-didn't have to. ...it was horrifying.

[impyroverished]

It's cruel. You did well despite that.

[So yeah, way to go]

[accessorytomurder]

...I just hope it helps.

[baitless]

[...okay he visibly blanches at that....]

...so much for my theory that there was any attempt to be humane, that’s...

[how fucking horrifying, in a familiar sort of way...]

[lightreaching]

[ Her eyes slide over to him.

Boy, where have they seen this before? ]

[baitless]

[way too many fucking times, dear sister..... he takes a breath to steady himself, because holy fuck...]

[lightreaching]

[ quietly: ]

It never ceases to be a horrific sight.

[baitless]

...

No, it doesn’t.

[it’s barely a whisper, but...]

We... should have found some way to leave the Foundation before we got involved in this.
