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.

[ so, Inaba is actually going to clap her hands to attention first and foremost ]

Hey guys!

I don't know if the ghosts are actually here this week, but if they are, I kind of want to say something first before we get into actually properly trying to figure out who did this. I talked to the Apprentice yesterday, after I found Nanase-- [...] And apparently what he told me that Nanase said something really fucking stupid so I'd appreciate it if someone could help me counter it and yell at him about it, too.

I was told that apparently Nanase seems really convinced that we'd all move on and forget him, and I bet that's not the case for a lot of you, right? We're going to find out who the hell did this and continue talking to him, even if he's a ghost, right?!

[ p.... priorities but HEY GUYS THIS IS IMPORTANT ]

[escardos]

Of course we're going to continue talking to him!! He was our friend!

[duskhound]

...Okay. There are other ghosts here, right? If Yoshi is here, tap once. If you are Yoshi, tap four times.

[resortghosts]

[There's an immediate tap.]

[duskhound]

[Thank you, random ghost that's probably Apprentice but could be any of the dead people! Now that I know he's definitely here...]

[resortghosts]

[It takes a moment. But then, slowly, as if reluctant, there are four taps.]

[duskhound]

[Yeah, she is just marching over there, and... grasping. I know you're here somewhere, Yoshi. ...Though you being invisible makes it very difficult to actually catch you.]

[dolleyed]

He's not going to believe you either way. You'll have to skip the announcement and just go straight to the proof.

[purrtagonist]

[oh noooooooo]

Yoshi-kun. . .

[A DEEP BREATH, and he steels his expression, hands curled around his mouth to amplify his voice]

YOSHI-KUN! If you're here, then listen up! No matter how short of a time we've known each other, you're still one of my Confidants! And like hell I ever forget my Confidants, especially when they really need me!

We'll find who did this, and no matter what happens, we'll still be here for you!

[latebluemer]

[Guess who's majorly sleep-deprived and not here for garbage bun's bullshit. So sourly:]

Guess he didn't pay any attention to how we deal with the other ghosts. He couldn't get rid of us even if he wanted to.

[WE'RE ALL STUCK IN THIS TOGETHER, RUBBISH RABBIT.]

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley crosses her arms.]

Of course, but...can we save this discussion for later? We have only a few hours, and several pieces of important evidence to discuss. I would rather spend the time finding out more about the monster that did this.

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Seconded via grunts]

[purrtagonist]

[Ripley mentions monsters, and Akira speaks up]

I didn't see the scene of the crime. Do we know which monster did this? Was it the Jorogumo again?

[dereban]

That's fine, I just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware in, you know, the fucking off chance that I get lynched because people don't trust me.

[ DISMISSIVELY WAVES A HAND but she doesn't mind moving on ]

[geckodad]

Agreed.

[Iwai sympathizes with wanting to remember Yoshi, but there's no time for sentimentalism]

Anyone got spiderwebs plastered all over their door?

[moonlightbeast]

[Well. That's that then.]

I definitely won't forget him. I'm going to talk with him every chance I get.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He lets out a slow sigh]

There's absolutely no way anyone could forget a person like Nanase-san. I didn't get a chance to really talk to him, but I can tell he really tried hard to help us.

[messianic]

[Look... Minato agrees with this. He's frowning at her words--

But Minato just shakes his head, hands shoved deeply into his pockets, and speaks out to the air:]

Nanase-kun... you're still my friend. [even if you're a spoopy ghost now.]

Nothing's going to change that. So please... have some faith in us, okay?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He nods.]

Yeah, we definitely won't forget him. No matter what happened, that doesn't change the fact that he's one of us.

[swordhandled]

We would never forget you, Yoshi. Please understand this!

[rosebridled]

[ Not going to say anything to this, but she nods in agreement. ]

[13thpromise]

Yeah, but that's pretty obvious...no one would want to forget him. And we're not going to just take what happened and do nothing about it either.

It wouldn't be right.

[justfists]

Nanase-san... don't be so stupid.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's letting out a sigh. ]

... Idiot.

[ But he's not looking at her when he says that, nor is he talking about her. It's said too quietly, after all. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

Ah geez... Yoshi... you really should know by now people here care too much about you to do that.
