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

Of course! Just coughing a little. Everyone gets a frog in their throat occasionally! It's no big deal.

[...calms herself.]

Well, Officer? What's your opinion?

[eyeforai]

Just... don't feel that you need to push yourself.

[He's still concerned, but that can probably wait until after this is over. But as for the arrangement...]

It's hard to say. They could have been using it as a message or a metaphor, but I don't think we have enough information to say what it is. It could have even just been to draw attention to the missing head, for all we know.

[golden_dream]

...You mean like a 'calling card'? I'd be surprised if anyone was that stupid, but...

[eyeforai]

No, I was thinking more like a taunt. It would be one possible reason why the body was displayed so openly like that.

[golden_dream]

I really have to wonder...

Is it possible, possible at all, that she was killed in the ballroom, and then moved to the shed?

Otherwise, why bring the head with them out from the shed? They weren't hiding it by putting it in the ballroom. Was it to draw attention? Let them know "Oh, it was the robot that was killed?"
