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.

I dunno. Killin' someone they know could be dangerous for 'em isn't that bad of a plan if we can't do anythin' to stop it.

[Given they're all falling asleep and what not, it's not like they have a way to stop anyone's death by conventional methods]

[justfists]

How could he have been dangerous?

We already knew he wasn't able to use his ability when it might ascertain who they are.

[dolleyed]

He left notes behind. One person here didn't have any numbers but he didn't say who.

[justfists]

I think it's a stretch to say that would be referring to the monsters, given what happened the last time he tried to use his ability at trial.

It's more likely that has something to do with the greater mystery of this place.

[it's here she pauses, tense for a moment]

Which goes far beyond this game.

[dolleyed]

And do we know for sure that the mafia doesn't have any stakes in that?

[justfists]

I don't know for certain. But my guess is their primary concern is the game.

[geckodad]

His ability could have revealed them at some point. Looks like most people here's powers got reduced, if they returned to normal then they'd have been screwed.

They may have thought it wass too big of a risk to leave him alive for long.

[justfists]

But we had seen he wasn't allowed to use it to find them.

Why would they continue assuming he would?

[relentlesslyonwards]

It wasn't like he was particularly shy about using it, though. It might've just been a precaution in case he tried again.

[moonlightbeast]

Are we sure there's no way to stop it? Like, staying in groups, or maybe a town role?

[geckodad]

I dunno how the town role part works, but if everyone's fallin' asleep, stayin' in groups isn't going to do much unless something else is done as well.

[Like lock themselves in the same room or something]

[moonlightbeast]

Well, the people who stay 'awake' are the ones involved in a murder, yes? If several people are in the same room as the target, I would call them 'involved'.

Regardless of how strong this mafia is, if they're outnumbered then they still might not win a fight. Especially given how many people might have powers of their own from before this 'game' started.
