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

Just don't explain anything to him.

[he can't deny if he doesn't know what it is]

[lightreaching]

It's truly that simple, then...

[ watching her healing spell take effect on him while he's sleeping...dang. ]

[cw_suicide]

He's a bit of an idiot like that.

[finalring]

We'll have to come up with something before he starts denying it himself. It doesn't even have to be too complicated either. Science in the Foundation has gone much farther than what is known--it's a secret organization, after all. There's also some people here that are from the future, so that can help too.

[ he shrugs. ]

I can give the explanation if you'd like, since he trusts me. I'll say that I healed him with cutting-edge medication that was created for the purpose of accelerating the body's healing speed.

[cw_suicide]

Jack-san will be able to help with a more science-based option. He's from a fairly advanced place.

[finalring]

That'd be perfect!

[ he nods towards jack ]

You think you can do that for us? I know it's a lot to ask, but we'd greatly appreciate it.

[hitscans]

That's what essentially this is. [ he says as he pulls out a cannister ]

Biotic field, state of the art healing technology developed by Overwatch. Anyone within a five meter radius gets filled with biotic energy for around five seconds. It basically does what you say: it accelerates a body's healing so soldiers can get back into the fight.

[finalring]

That's incredible!

[ he's actually highkey impressed by it? ]

I'd love to talk more about it later if possible, but this is exactly what we need as an explanation. As long as we keep our stories straight, then he'll be alright. Thank you so much.

[hitscans]

No worries. I'm not the creator, but I've read the medical papers from the doctor who helped lead the development of it. I should be able to talk a bit about it.

[white_camellia]

Make sure to downplay the severity of the injury, as well. Perhaps the tension of the situation made him overly sensitive. He was panicking because of that and didn't get a clear view of the wound. Anything that could help.

[finalring]

Mm, his own distraction is a key part, too. It's easy to imagine things that weren't real due to high stress, after all.

[baitless]

...

So, Sho knocked him out, then, right...

[finalring]

Ah.

[ hmm... ]

Again, that can probably be pointed to the combined stress of the hostage situation and seeing blood on himself. He wasn't knocked out. He fainted.

[baitless]

Ah, yes, that makes far more sense than anything else.

[cw_suicide]

Good idea.

Thank you, Nanaka-chan.
