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

[Frowning a little in thought.]

So whoever did this is someone who can use circles like that as a conduit?

[finalring]

If we go by what King Gilgamesh says, then that may be the case. Maybe it's to be used as a sort of catalyst to speed up or strengthen the reaction.

[sageking]

Indeed. This could also mean that in order to use magic at all, they may require to draw upon a piece of paper such symbols rather than freely at all. And it could take longer than a normal spell, making it a bit more ritualistic than simply casting as is.

[dreamshielder]

In essence, the culprit is likely to be a mage or has a mage as an accomplice.

[sageking]

It's possible.

I don't think we have magic that requires circles like this in my world - but magic isn't really my area of expertise, either.

[Maybe higher level mages used it??? But they were always happy to fire off their spells at her in an instant, so hm.]
