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.

You're right. I don't know with complete surety that is is not Niijima-san. But that is what Kurusu-san told me, and I trust Kurusu-san above everyone else here. If he says that is how it is, then I believe him.

[dolleyed]

So you knew of the Barghest from the getgo as well?

[ Less suspicious now but it's important to fully get it in the open.]

[moonlightbeast]

No, I didn't know the name 'Barghest' until Kurusu-san told me last night.

[dolleyed]

Alright. If the chick and him are mafia you might be too, but that's not seeming too likely at least.

[moonlightbeast]

Kurusu-san is definitely not mafia! He is a good person and trying to help everyone here! He...he even listened to me and didn't call my fears childish or troublesome. A mafia wouldn't do that.

[Sorry, he's a bit of a stan for his Important People.]

[dolleyed]

People are liars. They're disgusting cruel pieces of shit.

[moonlightbeast]

Not always. Yoshi-kun wasn't a liar. Kurusu-san isn't one either.

[He can't list his name there because he lies all the time, but.]

I...it may be childish of me, but I will keep my faith in others.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ A snort. ]

So many of you are idiots around here.

[ Funny coming from you, Vanitas. ]

[moonlightbeast]

I won't claim to not be an idiot. But I'm tired of distrusting people. I'm tired of being alone while in a room full of other people. Six years of that kind of life is enough for me.

And Kurusu-san has proved to me that he's trustworthy. So whatever he does, I'll follow him.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He actually... goes quiet for just a moment, his eyes narrowed in thought.. until a small, wry smirk appears.

"Then in that case, we're on the same side... ]

Heh...

[ ...Right?" ]

So, you think it's better to die alongside friends, than alone... Is that it?

[moonlightbeast]

I would rather not die at all, but if I have to, then yes.

[dolleyed]

Yoshi would have done better to be more cruel, but he said the same kind of shit you're spouting. You'll die like this.

[moonlightbeast]

Why? Because trusting someone makes me a target? If anybody wants to try and kill me for it, they can. I can survive quite a bit.

[dolleyed]

Well, good luck.

[Just grimacing at this. She didn't need to be reminded of a certain purple gremlin. Thanks Kohaku.]
