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.

Actually...

It's strange, but Flat-san's reaction to the puppy seemed over the top to the rest of you. Though after it failed to find the killer, he relaxed.

Doesn't that seem strange?

[escardos]

Have you seen a puppy pass through the walls?

[justfists]

... There are ghosts here.

[what's ur point]

And I am terrified of ghosts.

[resortghosts]

[Makoto's hair is suddenly ruffled.

c:]

[justfists]

[her hand goes to her head-- what are u doing appy!!!!!!]

Not now, [said with a slight plea] I'm trying to make a point!

[escardos]

Well, it was just surprising! I wasn't terrified but shocked?

[justfists]

You didn't look shocked.

You looked a little worried, actually.

[xenoqueen]

It is strange. But didn't he say that he'd been playing...craftmine with Yoshi or something?

[Not saying it isn't him, but. Y'know, consider all realms of possibility.]

[justfists]

Possibly but I don't know how that makes it less... obviously strange?

[xenoqueen]

He has an alibi. [A pause.] But, then again, we can't actually confirm whether or not it's true.

[justfists]

I think I would notice less if not for his obvious shift in attitude once it became apparent the puppy would be of no help to us.

[wrongtiming]

Minecraft.

[a very important contribution]

[xenoqueen]

...Minecraft. Thank you.

[what are the kids doing in the 21st century nowadays??]

[rosebridled]

[ crafting mines apparently ]

[latebluemer]

... I just thought Escardos-san was a very over the top person.

[Just saiyan.]

[justfists]

There are a lot of over the top people here though.

It still stood out, didn't it?

[latebluemer]

It's... possible? I don't really know him well enough to say how he'd usually react to a dog coming through a wall.

[Does anyone really know anyone well enough for that though.]

[justfists]

I can say that he wouldn't be afraid of it, based on how excited he was to be right that the hotel was haunted.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Well... maybe? But he's pretty eccentric too, so I don't think it's that unusual a reaction. [Who knows what the fuck runs through Flat's mind at times...]

[justfists]

But his reasoning for it was because it popped through a wall-- when we've known there are ghosts here for weeks now.

[wrongtiming]

Even if you know something's true, it can still be surprising to see it if it's not something you're used to, right...?

[A shrug.]

And he seems pretty excitable overall.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Yeah, but do our ghosts actually... pop through walls? I mean, they can touch us and everything, so I don't think it's necessarily a conclusion you'd jump to.

[dereban]

I can confirm it.

I didn't open the door to my room on Thursday and when the Apprentice showed up, I could tell he was sitting on my bed and petting Cappy, so I'm pretty sure that's the case? But we could always ask to make absolutely certain.

[escardos]

Yeah... I didn't know that, honestly. I only talk to Appy through the app on the tablet, after all!

[justfists]

They absolutely do.
