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

....Yuri-san.

[He'd suspected it, but...he hates this conclusion.]

Was it...dammit.

[...After all...she's been too kind, from the little he's seen.

'This...was all just a horrible accident, wasn't it...?']

[deadanimemom]

[She's just going to keep crying, sorry Battler.]

[boardreversal]

[...Fuck it.

He's going to come over and just...place a hand on her shoulder.]

...I'm so sorry, Yuri-san.

[deadanimemom]

... don't... It's not your fault.

[boardreversal]

...I know, but...I can still feel sorry for this whole situation, can't I?

[Tears are starting to form at his eyes, just like always.]

Even if - even if you can't...There's no way I can believe you'd purposefully kill someone, right? Someone like you...there was no way this was anything but an accident...!

[There's a moment of hesitation, before he gives her a hug. Nothing overly long, but...something to say he understands, even if the cause of it was something he actively couldn't.]

It's - it's unfair, Yuri-san...! It's so unfair....and I'm so sorry.....you had to spend this entire time in pain, didn't you...?

[deadanimemom]

[She's been in pain this whole time. And she's still...]

Don't...

Just... just be safe, okay? Stay safe, and keep Rin-chan safe.

[boardreversal]

[And that's why he's crying - it's both the emotional and physical pain she had to be under this whole time, and they all...just didn't see it.

It's why he's so upset, but also...In the end, it's a helpless anger that none of this is fair.]

..I will. I'll - keep her safe, and I won't - I won't let her...

[Well. She'd seen what Rin alluded to before, during the trial.]

Yuri-san...I promise. I promise, so....don't worry about us. Okay?

[deadanimemom]

I won't worry. I'm sure you can do this. So just be careful, please.
