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

[... oh, Yuri...]

[deadanimemom]

[Oh. Not this. Anything but this.]

Don't.... it's not your fault.

[cw_suicide]

[too late

but also this is why he's going to go in for the hug first because nope, you don't get to see the expression]

Honestly... what did I say, before?

[his voice is deceptively steady, even]

[deadanimemom]

[She hugs him, tightly. The pressure bursts blisters on her arms, hidden under the bandages, hidden under the sweater she's wearing, but she still hugs him tightly.]

You've said a lot of things, Dazai-kun.

[cw_suicide]

Can I add "you're a very silly, foolish girl" on top of it?

[there's no bite to it, just... sad, really. he hates being right.]

Anything I can do while you're gone?

[because not gonna treat your miasma-influenced ghost like it's 100% you, sorry not sorry, we both know it's bad]

[deadanimemom]

[She laughs, a little.]

I am, aren't I?

And I know you won't try to prove me right. [with, you know, "befriend the ghosts".] So just ignore whatever it says, okay?

[cw_suicide]

Mm... I'll remind others, too.

[deadanimemom]

And please don't blame yourself, okay? You're a good detective. You found out the truth.

[cw_suicide]

[THE TRUTH SUCKS.]

... hey, Yuri-san? Can I ask you that favor from before?

[you know the one]

[deadanimemom]

Of course. [If some of the tears on her face are his, that's fine. She has more than enough.]
