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.

[escardos]

Mm, don’t look sad Makoto.

[ he smiles, regardless of her accusations. ]

You’re only trying to do your best, right? The Professor would probably be doing the same thing as you right now. You just wanna find the truth— like your name, right?

[justfists]

[she smiles a little at that. and pauses, before, well, pulling him into a hug. She's really, really sorry for this.

It's a brief one, but... hopefully? Maybe? It offers comfort?]

I'm sorry for having to accuse you of being the Barghest.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . stiffens a little the moment that name comes out of her mouth]

. . .

[justfists]

[she pauses and-- oh.

she steps back and glances at him. oh no.]

Akira...

[purrtagonist]

[. . . WAVES HIS HANDS AT HER LIKE]

[JUST]

[WAVES THEM]

[diesifkilled]

Akira?!

[purrtagonist]

[well]

[dereban]

. . . wait. How do you know that name? We only knew the the spider was called the Jorogumo, didn't we?!

[purrtagonist]

[WAVING HIS HANDS FRANTICALLY AT MAKOTO]

[dereban]

[ JUST EYES HIM SUSPICIOUSLY in a "we're going to talk about this later, mister" sort of way ]

[diesifkilled]

[stops

and just stares.]

[justfists]

[oh. hm.]

... The role is called the Barghest.

[diesifkilled]

How do you know that?

[xenoqueen]

...Excuse me, what?

[enter_the_darkness]

The what...?

[moonlightbeast]

[That. Hm.

Atsushi makes a very panicked face and is suddenly doing the 'cut' motion under his chin. He's trying to be discreet but it probably isn't discreet at all.]

[justfists]

[LOOK SHE'S DYING RIGHT NOW.

ATSUSHI WHAT DOES SHE DO.]

[moonlightbeast]

['CUT' MOVEMENT INTENSIFIES]

[dolleyed]

Subtle.

[enter_the_darkness]

I can't possibly tell what he's trying to say.

[escardos]

[ flat’s eyes widen— more over her actions than what she says.

but then he smiles, hugging her back gently. ]

It’s alright, Makoto. Even if you’re wrong, I don’t blame you.

[justfists]

[she won't say anything to that last line. To her, it's irrelevant.]

Let's be friends, okay?

[latebluemer]

[Her eyes widen, but she doesn't say anything just yet. Hm.]

[whirlingmace]

What's that?

[ Cinque is so lost and why is everyone making motions at the pretty lady? ]

Why are they waving at you like that?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[His eyes widen as he stares at her, intently. After a bit, his brows furrow in thought, and--]

Wait, how did you...?
