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 don't think this is directly related to the trial, but... It's important, so...

I believe Ryoga is a Non-Town Role. Mind you, this doesn't necessarily mean Mafia, but still, this could affect things in the future, couldn't it?

[diesifkilled]

What makes you say that?

[duskhound]

Do you remember how he reacted to the name "The Foundation" on Monday? He's clearly been conditioned, but so far we haven't seen anybody else with similar conditioning.

In other words, The Foundation has given him some sort of special role, and I honestly kind of doubt they would leave the kind of conditioning that makes it so obvious they're affected on the Mafia or the Town roles. After all, that would make "the game" too easy for us, wouldn't it?

[diesifkilled]

...You think this Foundation is behind the game, then? Can we know that for sure?

[duskhound]

At the very least, The Captain over there showed knowledge of Foundation Agent classifications last week, so even if they aren't behind the game, they're definitely related somehow.

[dereban]

Why do you think that?

[duskhound]

In short... He's been conditioned by The Foundation. If multiple people were it would be one thing, but he's the only one that's shown signs of it.

[dereban]

But what kind of role would even cause that. . .?

[duskhound]

...If I were to guess... It's probably The Cleaner. In that case, the conditioning was probably just another step in methods to force him to act according to the game's rules.

[purrtagonist]

[well, other people asked, soooo. listening for her answer]

[duskhound]

[Well, do you remember something about information being classified to B or D? because that seems to be relevant.]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . ah]

So that's what he meant when he said my clearance wasn't high enough.

[duskhound]

I believe so, yes. Thankfully, each set of memories we get is making things clearer and clearer, though we still have a ways to go before we see the whole picture.

[He doesn't say anything about her suspicion]

Before anyone asks - I can't write it down, or even play charades Any type of communication about it will fail. I've tried on monday night, even without anyone around it still kicks in.

[xenoqueen]

...So you admit that you have a role?

[maskarang]

He may not be able to. Regardless, asking him questions is pointless.

[xenoqueen]

He could also be lying about actually having a role. Everything's fair game when it comes to mafia.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

I can't talk about The other thing.

[justfists]

[she stares at him for a long bit.

and then looks away, without asking any other questions]

[latebluemer]

From what we've learned so far, it's either impossible or unlikely that anyone would admit their role, right? Like Snake-san last week.

[latebluemer]

Hibiki-kun... I had a request.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

Eh?

[He looks up at that, surprised]

Is there something I can do?

[escardos]

Isn't saying something like this a little dangerous? Even if he's not the Mafia, that could still make you or him a target!

[theycallhimmrpchan]

We know the risk, we talked about it last night. I hope this may help in some way.

[duskhound]

...As he said, we did talk about this last night. I'm fairly certain that he's a third party role, and that means that strictly speaking, he's a neutral party: Aligned with neither side. Nobody benefits from going after him, whether it's town or mafia. As for me... Well, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve if the Mafia intends to go after me.
