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

...ah.

[Yeah, protecting her is Valid.]

[cw_suicide]

[yyyep.

but it's ok. i can hold your hand until we get out of here. Yuri and Ky are On It with getting her cleaned up]

... should get you cleaned up before the blood has a say.

[notbymyside]

...let the girls wash first. I can wait.

[Poor Yachi.]

[cw_suicide]

Ah, right.

[forgot there was only one working shower for a minute there.]

Guess you're stuck with me for a while.

[notbymyside]

I'll survive.

[He's honestly not doing as bad as he could be, given that. Everything. Not thinking about the gore on him right now certainly helps.]

[cw_suicide]

[cool because Dazai's just gonna lean/slump against him a little bit.

exhausting trial was exhausting and also he feels a bit foolish for his role in it]

[onemolife]

[ Things happened, and he'll come back after he takes care of the head.

He almost hates to intrude on their moment, but a distraction might do them both a favor so he's reaching for both Ango's other hand and Dazai's. THEY ARE NOW A CIRCLE. ]

You know, the laundry room has those large sinks we could use.

[notbymyside]

[This. This sure is happening, yes.

Ango has a completely befuddled look here. Holding Dazai's hand makes sense, it keeps his ability from activating and scarring him mentally. But why is WWX joining in? Why are they now a circle?

Don't mind him, he's going to wordlessly look back and forth between Dazai and WWX a couple times. You two talk this out for a moment.]

[cw_suicide]

[Ango pls.

as it is, he pretty much expected this sort of thing when WWX stopped by before, so like.]

Ah, right. That'll work.

[as if this is the most natural course of action.]

[onemolife]

[ Ango isn't saying no.

A glance to confirm where the door is before just walking backwards, pulling them both with him to head out of the no longer living room. ]

See, I do have good ideas.

[notbymyside]

[Welp. He's getting dragged off then. And that seems to kickstart his brain.]

Wait, the laundry room? We can just wait for the bathroom.

['We'?]

[cw_suicide]

We might as well handle our clothes at the same time. My coat's soaked.

[onemolife]

There's going to be a long line for the bathroom.

[ Giving a nod at what Dazai is saying. ]

That's true. Better get it now while we still have a chance to get the stains out.

[notbymyside]

[Well. That's not wrong. So okay, they can wash up in the laundry room.]

If we can get them out at all.

[cw_suicide]

Even getting the worst of them out is better than not trying.

[he's gonna help bully Ango along.]

[onemolife]

[ Out of the room, into the hall, and into the laundry room. It's right there so they really don't have to travel to get there. ]

We can also soak 'em. I'm sure no one would mind.

[ They can just steal the buckets for it. WWX might have it easier since... his robes are black and red. ]

[notbymyside]

[NO BULLI except yes bulli because it's easy to bully Ango.]

We'll need clothes to wear until they are washed and dried. We should have gone to our rooms first.

[cw_suicide]

I didn't know Ango was so shy~

[yes he did, but he is immediately letting go of people so he can get his coat off and into some cold water]

[onemolife]

[ That leaves him holding hands with Ango, but he'll pause before letting go. ]

Yeah, we're all guys here.

[ Then he'll gesture to where the sheets are kept. ]

Besides, we can make do with what we have here.

[ Time to robe up. He will take off his outermost layer, before his middle red layer. ]

[notbymyside]

And here I was thinking about Dazai-kun's shyness.

[He says that very dryly.

But yeah he'll strip out of his outer clothes and stay in his undershirt and boxers, so he can at least get on washing those first. It's good that he dressed in layers, clearly.]

[cw_suicide]

Mo-kun was very helpful with my bandages earlier.

[meaning: he's a good lad who says jackshit about all the scarring but also like... y'know. he's also not looking to either of them as he unbuttons his top.

off comes his poor blue pin-stripe shirt! siiiigh...]

[onemolife]

[ There's some blood on the collar of his inner robes. Hm. ]

I was. Though I do hope next time I can be helpful in better circumstances.

[ He doesn't have to be serious now. Sorry Ango. He'll take off the last layer. Congrats, if either of you look can actually see what kind of shape he's in.

Also he's wearing Bugs Bunny boxers. ]

[notbymyside]

[BUGS BUNNY BOXERS...

Yes, Ango does glance over. But he quickly returns to his own undressing and washing.]

'In better circumstances', is it?

[Look. He saw that kiss earlier, he's not blind.]

[cw_suicide]

[lol Bugs Bunny...

trying to work on getting his arms unraveled, pants still on.]

That's only natural, isn't it? No one wants to be stripped to prove their innocence just in case.

[onemolife]

[ What's up, Doc.

He's going to fill a bucket up with water and a little bleach before sticking his white under robes in there.

Also what's a kiss between friends? ]

Right? Though I won't mind volunteering again if you need a hand again.
