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

You know it looks suspicious when your "art" is found in the vicinity of a crime scene, right? Might be best to be honest about what you wanted to use it for.

[tangentlion]

Yeah I do. Which is why I owned up to that right away, you brainless binomial. And maybe I'll tell you later, but not while he [he tilts his head at Todd] has his coordinates parked here.

[foxetious]

You know there's paper right over there, right? There's nothing stopping you from writing it down for several people to check out.

[tangentlion]

Prove that my sigil had something to do with this mess and be sure to show your work. Only then will I give you the answer key.

[foxetious]

Saying that doesn't really help your case.

[tangentlion]

Still waiting, foxface. Tick tock!

[eyeforai]

[...]

Then at least tell me when you put it there.

[tangentlion]

The ballroom was the only place with a large enough flat, empty plane to draw the factoring thing.

[eyeforai]

That's not answering the question. I asked you when, not why you chose that spot.

[tangentlion]

After I left that dumb excuse for a party.

[eyeforai]

So exactly what time was that?

[tangentlion]

I don't know! I put my phone away and I don't have a factoring watch.

[eyeforai]

[Sighs.]

Then tell me what you did for the rest of the night. You left the party, went to the ballroom to draw that design, and then what?

[tangentlion]

Drew the thing, used all the hot water, went to bed. I realigned myself to the UG plane so I wouldn't disturb my roomies.

[eyeforai]

You a stickler for cleanliness or something?

[tangentlion]

I said I was gonna use all the hot water and by Euler's number, I did!

[eyeforai]

Seriously? Did you just have it out for everyone last night?

[tangentlion]

Affirmative.

[eyeforai]

...Did you at least use the sign up sheets?

[tangentlion]

... sign up what?

[eyeforai]

[Sighs.]

I'll take that as a no, then. [Sorry Ango, your efforts(?) were not appreciated here at least...]

Anyway, was this something you were doing all week? Just taking up all the hot water late at night?
