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.

[While he's asking that, a whining noise can be heard at the door.

Eventually, a little black puppy head pops through the door, as if it weren't solid at all. Though the little puppy seems to be having an issue going through - whining and forcing itself, all with little puppy grunts of effort.

Eventually, it tumbles through, going head over heels - and sits staring at everyone, giving a bark.

Where did you all go??? Is party time??]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[Ah.]

I believe that answers that question.

[moonlightbeast]

[AND THEN, TO THE PUPPY:

Atsushi is crouching down and holding out his hands to pupper.]

Come here, you adorable little abomination you!

[foundationmods]

[!!!

Puppy quickly comes over. Hello, person who isn't mad to see them!!]

[moonlightbeast]

[Time for PETTINS]

I bet you're excited to see all of us, aren't you? But you know what would be even more exciting? Finding the other dog!

[He is lilting his voice upwards in an excited manner throughout those sentences, trying to purposefully rile up the puppy.]

[foundationmods]

[!!!

That tone of voice means play!!! Play means!!!

Pupper is very excited.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Just as keikaku]

You ready? You ready???

Got get 'em! Go get the other dog!

[foundationmods]

[Go?????

It knows what go means!!

GO MEANS RUN

The puppy takes off, almost too fast to be seen, a blur of black....and just runs laps around the room. And it is fast - almost supernaturally so.

RUNNING! RUNNING IS SO MUCH FUN!!]

[moonlightbeast]

[Ah.]

Well. I tried.

[dereban]

[ if she's allowed

sticking a "you tried" sticker onto his arm ]

[foundationmods]

[Eventually, the puppy slows down....

And goes to The Captain, landing on his belly and falling asleep.

Puppy done for the trial.]

[13thpromise]

[ That's...pretty fast. ]

[tacticalespionageaction]

Here, boy.

[He's not mad just disappointed.]

[foundationmods]

[...Tail wagging gets slower, but the puppy approaches anyway.]

[tacticalespionageaction]

Wanna help me out, little guy?

[Snake lowers into a crouch - slowly, not to startle - and makes an attempt to scoop that puppy up.]

[foundationmods]

[They stay still...

But then Atsushi calls it, and it zooms off towards someone not disappointed in it. SORRY]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[oh goddamnit-

He calls over to Atsushi.]

Hey, kid, pick it up for me, will you?
