WEEK 2 - TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

The morning seemed so far away yesterday - yet, it also seems too soon when morning comes and you are all yet again ushered to the third floor by The Lady. The Captain is there, in all of his....glory? It's hard to tell.

The doors close, and he speaks up, this time reclining on one of the couches in the room.

"You know the drill - Since one of you have died during the game, it's your responsibility to try and vote someone out. You have six hours to talk about it, but then-"

He taps on a box on the coffee table in front of him, labeled 'VOTES'.

"-you'll have to put in your vote so someone can be punished. You all saw what happens when you refuse to play, right?"

He leans back, placing his hands behind his head.

"So get to it."

As he says that, music begins to play in the room...


VICTIM: YOSHI NANASE

27 GUESTS REMAIN.

EVIDENCE

[foundationmods]

cw gore + eye gore

[dereban]

[ Inaba's leaving her tablet here for y'all to.... look at the photos if you want to but she's still gonna warn all your asses that it's gory as all heck.

Anyway, one photo shows bloody drag marks that lead to the left side of the resort.

And another photo shows Yoshi Nanase in an oversized jacket, his face first in his lap with no eyes. Oh, and did we forget that his intestines are spilling over his head? Paying close attention there seems to have been something eating his intestines, because there's bitemarks all over them. Oh, and a vertical gut wound, from the lower stomach to the upper portion of the ribs. Or you know. A classic gut removal cut. Yay....

There's also oversized boots next to the body. ]

[dolleyed]

... did anyone find the damn eyes?

cw: cannibalism???

[dereban]

If nobody did, I'd bet the monster fucking ate it.

[latebluemer]

[She definitely didn't get around to looking at these yesterday, and skipping breakfast was the Correct Choice, because she goes super pale and has to take a few moments to collect herself and a good amount of nausea before she can look over the pictures properly.

It's really great that they're probably going to get used to these things if they survive! Maybe!]

Did the killer just -- just leave him like that?

[dereban]

No.

The jacket was closed and the head was on top of his body, covered up by a hood, so I couldn't tell who it was immediately until I took the hood off.

[escardos]

That's...

[ flat had been fortunate enough to not see anything from the crime scene yesterday. in a way, it lessened the strange emotions that came with knowing that yoshi was dead. but now, being able to see it in all its horror...

it's definitely not a very strong emotion, but he definitely looks a few shades paler. ]

Why would they go this far?

[purrtagonist]

[kind of. swallowing thickly as he glances at the crime scene photos as well, expression twisting. he's heard about it, but. . .]

Did they really have a choice?

[by which he means. . . were they really in their right mind, and capable of showing restraint?]

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley studies the images for a few moments, eyes flitting across the screen. She can feel her stomach writhing as she closes her eyes and sighs.]

I'm sorry you had to see that. [Said in a flat tone.] Did anyone happen to find a knife near the crime scene? There there was a knife missing from the kitchen. A clever, I think. The Chef seemed distressed.

[dereban]

There weren't any weapons at the crime scene from my recollection. So either the culprit still has it with them or has discarded it by this point.

[13thpromise]

[ Finally, Roxas is having to look at the tablet, I guess....welp, that sure is a body. Okay.

He's going to need a moment, he'll even close his eyes for a bit, because that is absolutely an appalling sight. ]

...they put the winter coat and oversized boots from the ski place on him?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Well... this sure is a thing. He frowns at the images, quickly averting his eyes from the tablet when he finishes scrolling through all of them. It takes a while before he says anything.]

I don't get it. What was even the point of all this? It's one thing to want to take him out, but...

[imstuck]

Before anyone decides to vote for Snake again, I can tell you already that he's in the clear.

I saw him on Friday morning and he was covered in glitter and alcohol. I haven't seen the crime scene, but no one would be going around murdering in that state.

[dolleyed]

You can kill first and get drunk after. Just saying.

[geckodad]

...

[Iwai seems pretty unhappy Snake's the one covered in glitter and alcohol]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake grunts in confirmation, no longer covered in alcohol but there's still a dusting of glitter over him. He's a sparkly Snake.]

[xenoqueen]

...

[why are they like this]

Did you all decide to have a pride party or what?

[escardos]

Why was he covered in that? Did he have a party?

[duskhound]

I can confirm that the entrance to Snake's room was covered in glitter and broken bottles of alcohol.

There was no sign of anyone having passed through it, from what I saw.

[moonlightbeast]

I'm...pretty sure Snake-san didn't kill Yoshi, but that isn't exactly proof that he didn't do it.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . oh my god]

That's what happens when someone parties too much.

[he says sagely, but there's amusement in his eyes]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Snake's taking a real good look at those pictures of the bitten up intestines with a hnrnrghhhh of deep thought. Can he get anything from them in regards to species or size?]

[foundationmods]

[Well, he might not like what he sees.

After all, the wounds on the intestines...

are consistent with puppy teeth. There's tearing and tiny bite marks.]

[latebluemer]

Well, you've all seen this already, but...

[She's just going to put the journal out there with all its contents.]

We found this in the cabinets on the computer desk in Nanashi's room last night. Vanitas-kun found his key in the cushions on a couch in the lobby, so we assumed Nanashi might have put it there to lead us to the journal just in case. It didn't look like anyone made him leave his room, so...

[messianic]

[... :(]

Unfortunately, I don't think Nanase-kun would've fought too hard if someone called him out of his room... he probably would've thought it was better him than someone else, if he knew it was happening.

[WHICH. HE HATES. YOSHI!!!!! DON'T DO THIS.]
