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.

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.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Huh... [learned +1 ghost fact?!]

I trust your word on this, but I don't have a problem if anyone wants to check.

[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.

[appy]

[purrtagonist]

Speaking from experience?

[light teasing]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[There's definitely a story behind this, but now would probably not be the time to ask.]

Then it comes down to if he knew about it or not. Still, I think Hunter brings up a good point, too. It's one thing to hear about something, but it's another to actually see it happen in front of your eyes.

[justfists]

But he didn't seem concerned before.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Do you remember what he said to you at the time?

[justfists]

Yes.

He'd bragged about being right that the hotel was haunted, and that his best friend was a ghost.

He even reassured me that one ghost wasn't so bad.

[relentlesslyonwards]

That's... not quite the same as understanding what they're capable of, though. I've fought a couple of spirits myself, but I wouldn't have assumed they'd pass through walls.

[justfists]

... But that's what ghosts are known for.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[please don't look at him like that, makoto...... he feels the judgment.]

We're not all from the same backgrounds and cultures though, right? [sigh.] Maybe we should just ask him about what ghosts he knows about at home.
