RECORDING 6: THE SECOND 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 - Olympia, staring balefully at you in all of her robotic glory.

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: JACK MORRISON
PEOPLE TO VOTE OUT: 1

WEEK 2 VOTING

[not saying anything but.... seriously, Rosa, this is why she can't trust you]

[golden_dream]

... Well? Nothing at all, Rin-chan?

[tsunderine]

I'm not the culprit, so don't bother pointing that gun at me.

But we shouldn't go to assuming that there was a 'motive' behind all of this, either... in the off chance this was an accident.

[dreamdispersal]

How do you accidentally plant a life-sucking plant inside somebody?

[tsunderine]

That's easy to answer. Both parties were not aware of the properties of the plant itself when it grew. The victim saw the fruits on the plant, assumed that it was fine because it looked like something he was familiar with...

... and ate it.

[dreamdispersal]

Didn't somebody grow something from the seeds we had earlier this week? Were the plants resulting from that normal?

[tsunderine]

I know Marona-chan did...

But only specific plants grew, apparently. Those plants were normal, as far as I can tell. I have some of them with me, too.

[dreamdispersal]

Has anybody ingested them or did they merely look normal?

[tsunderine]

They looked normal as far as I'm aware.

[oxidegreen]

I didn't notice anything strange about them. It was aloe and cilantro, so I don't know if anyone used any of them this week.

[One's best for burns and the other for garnishing meals, so...]

[white_camellia]

...And the act of burying him while he was still alive?

[tsunderine]

[not gonna repeat myself so saying this question]

[golden_dream]

I'm not pointing this gun at anyone unless it's to protect ourselves. I went through the training.

--Was there something suggesting it was an accident?

[tsunderine]

[.....]

I don't know exactly yet, it's not as if I went to the greenhouse and checked the evidence, you know?

[golden_dream]

...So that's just speculation?

[tsunderine]

At the current moment, yes.

Naturally, if I hear more evidence that comes up that disproves an early theory, I don't mind saying that I was wrong.

[golden_dream]

Yes, yes... I'm not trying to jump down your throat about it, Rin-chan.

[dreamshielder]

If it was simply an accident why did the culrpit bury Morrison alive?

[tsunderine]

Let me throw that question back at you.

Was he alive when he was buried?

[dreamshielder]

That's what Date had concluded from the evidence he found, yes.

1 / 2

[tsunderine]

[considers....]

2 / 2

[tsunderine]

But would the culprit have known he was still alive, though?

[dreamshielder]

I don't see how that much is relevant. The culprit, whether he knew Morrison was alive or not, left him for dead.

While the motive for that might be easy to infer, given the threat of eternal torment once someone dies here, we should still consider the possibility of other motives.

[white_camellia]

At the very least, there is evidence of him clawing at the dirt, though I suppose that does not guarantee that he did so after being buried.

[tsunderine]

... Yes.

It's-- I think, I want to say it's plausible that the 'culprit', in the off chance that this incident was not on purpose, might have thought he was a lost cause when they buried him.
