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.

. . . there is a role in most games of mafia known as the detective. It's a town-aligned role, and it allows someone to check other people in the game for their roles.

[but. that's all he's saying. he's letting her assume the rest]

[latebluemer]

[...]

I stand by what I said.

[But it's still not suspicion she's glaring at him with. She's pissed.]

I'm tired of you all painting targets on yourselves.

[purrtagonist]

This is how we play the game.

[he says firmly, almost authoritatively, voice not wavering a bit]

I'm not dead yet. And this is what it took to out Yoshi-kun's killer.

[latebluemer]

[She exhales, closing her eyes briefly, and then answers in just as steely a voice.]

No, I don't think that's how you play the game.

[Because first of all, Makoto had obviously made a mistake. This isn't how the game usually goes. Somehow she's not entirely surprised, either.]

[purrtagonist]

[DEEP BREATH IN. . .]

. . . no, you're right. It isn't.

[there's usually no actual stakes involved. nothing this serious, anyway]

We'll talk later.

[latebluemer]

We will.

[Her expression says you better still be there.]

[whirlingmace]

[ SAME ]

[dereban]

[ honestly, same fucking hat but she's also aware that Akira is kind of right ]
