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

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.

[notbymyside]

[Ugh you two.]

Keep it tame at the trials, that's all I ask.

[It's also all he'll say on the matter, since he seems wholly disinterested in their flirting. Instead he's focusing on scrubbing his clothes.]

[cw_suicide]

[dumping his bandages in with the white robes. they can be reused if they're bleached, right?

but also smile is still on his face but his gaze is a bit distant for a moment as he pauses... before he just. looks at his coat. covered in blood.]

... mm, well... if only we could ask the same of our hosts.

[onemolife]

Only at the trials?

[ He's teasing here as he scoots over to Ango to bother him. Look, the more you ignore, the more he wants to bother. ]

We are getting a new one, right? Maybe they will be nicer?

[ Maybe they will get Misty or someone dressed as Pikachu ]

[notbymyside]

In front of other people, then.

[Scooting away >T]

Our host is likely going to be our recently-departed teammate, you know. He won't be nicer.

1/3

[cw_suicide]

[ah.

there it is.]

[cw_suicide]

[and it comes out in a sudden, harsh kicking of one of the tubs or sinks does it matter? the pain in his foot and running up his leg in vibrations is really superior to the thought of that fucking Vessel.]

[cw_suicide]

[... actually that really hurt

time to just flop down on the ground because poor life decisions]

Ow...

1/2

[onemolife]

[ He's about to poke Ango just to see what'll happen and then there's the sound of something being kicked.

Whirling around to stare at Dazai for a moment. ]

Aiya, you almost gave me a heart attack!

[onemolife]

[ Not that he really faults him because the possibility of dealing with Sho so soon...

He will go to crouch down by where Dazai is flopped over. He probably looks funny like that in bugs bunny. ]

Was it worth it?

[notbymyside]

[He jumps when Dazai kicks the tub, but the surprise is only there for a moment. Once he realizes what happened, he is quick to sigh and see to Dazai.]

You shouldn't do that, Dazai-kun. You'll hurt yourself again.

[Since WWX is already there, he'll stand nearby and watch the two men on the ground.]

[cw_suicide]

No.

[petulantly answering WWX's question before he brings up his hands to his hair and just make the most frustrated sound because it's better than anything else threatening to come up.]

This is stupid! This whole situation! Who even sends in an entire unit after you lose the first one?! Assuming that was the first one! If I die here, I'll haunt whoever's idea it was!

[... i mean, at least it's an "if"]

[onemolife]

[ He can go head and make more frustrated sounds if he wants. ]

It does seem pretty strange to me. Maybe they lost someone important?

[ He does reach over to poke at him. ]
