WEEK 2 - TRIAL

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.

There's one role that the mafi-- the monsters might potentially ignore until the very end, actually. Or at least, try to get that person on their side. Since third party roles can have a separate win condition and can potentially win with either the town or the mafia.

[squints at her]

Which role is that?

You already brought it up, you dumbass.

But there's a variation of that role where if you lynch them, they can kill someone from the grave.

[oh my god]

What? Since when did that variation exist?

It's in another variation of mafia for the PC. Plays the same way, roles are similar although some might be different in terms of gameplay.

[GOOD LORD]

That's stupid.

[he says bluntly]

The Fool is already a stupid role, but that's even stupider.

You fucking think?

Obviously. Since that's what I said.

[AND HE SAYS WHAT HE MEANS]

Well, good to know that you're honest, Kurusu.

[heh]

No better way to be.

The Fool?

[She still has a lot of studying to do....]

I was talking to Ripley-san about it earlier. It's a role whose whole purpose is to be scapegoated at trial.

... How many of those are there?

It varies from game to game. I don't think we were told how many exist in this game.

[or if we were icly I've forgotten]

I was talking to Inaba-san about the Jester. They both sound like pretty terrible roles to deal with.

. . . Jester?

[he's used to it being called the Fool]

[ SLIDES IN HERE TO JUST SAY: ]

Yeah, they call it "Jester" in the other variation.

[aha]

Got it, thanks.

Oh, so they were the same. It would be pretty bad if there were two like that.

[Seriously, two nuclear options is too much for any game. One is already probably more than they can handle.]

So he could be an ally. ... We should leave him and any other "third party" be. They're not who we're after, and revealing them or voting for them will only make them wary of us.

That's not necessarily true, either. Just leaving them alone means the mafia could snatch them up, right?

I think he means more we shouldn't reveal their role at this point in the game.

Ah, that's true... I do think learning more about the third party roles is something we shouldn't slack on, though.

[Thanks for the Geromeslation, though!]

I agree; we can learn about them but choose not to reveal them.

Yeah, exactly.

We should try to stay away from voting for anybody who might be third party.
