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.

[very pointedly not answering that]

[jumpedtheshark]

Ah.

[She'll take that as confirmation then.]

[purrtagonist]

[:x!]

[jumpedtheshark]

You're plain foolish to reveal your role this early, you know.

[Just saying. He could have had Niijima pretend to be his role, convey the information, and take the fall next week.]

.... But, you're too kind to take that route, right?

[Even if he's potentially crippling the town next week in the process when he probably dies.]

[messianic]

... Hang on.

[Softly.]

I don't think that means what you think it means, Tsumugi-san. And I think... it'd be dangerous for everyone to make that assumption. For Akira, and for all of us.

[jumpedtheshark]

...Alright. I'm listening, Arisato-kun.

[Explain your viewpoint.]

[messianic]

If Akira's protecting someone... I think it's safe to say his lips would be sealed.

[He frowns a little.]

Because he's that sort of person. I don't know for sure, but...that's another possibility, isn't it?

And... I do think assumptions get people here killed.

[jumpedtheshark]

Hmm... that's true.

[He's selfless enough to go that route. She nods to herself.]

Yeah... you're right.

[messianic]

[A solemn nod.]

There are a lot of possibilities... let's keep doing our best to find the truth.

[A very, very small smile.]

... Okay, Holmes-san?

[jumpedtheshark]

[That gets a small giggle out of her.]

Alright, Watson-kun.

[purrtagonist]

[. . .]

[finally looking over in Minato's direction]

[messianic]

[THAT'S TOO BAD ISN'T IT because he's not looking at Akira!!]

[purrtagonist]

[HEY RUDE!!!]

[. . .]

[looks away again himself, though]
