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.

Because everyone was surprised by it, no? I wasn't, but that's because I don't really have it in me to be surprised anymore. If the Barghest and Akira want to accuse me of their doing, then I guess that's fine.

[ he chuckles sadly ]

I just didn't think I'd be lied to my face like that by Akira.

[latebluemer]

Why don't you have it in you to be surprised, Escardos-kun? And what are you accusing Kurusu-kun of lying about?

[It's genuine curiosity. There's quite a lot going on here and she doesn't fully understand Flat's side of it any more than she understands the other two.]

[escardos]

Well, I tried to argue my case throughout the day, to no avail. It only makes sense that the Barghest would accuse the odd one out in order to protect themselves.

It's just that...after saying those nice things, I didn't think that Akira was covering for her, too.

[latebluemer]

You're odd, Escardos-san, but I really don't think you can call yourself the odd one out. Not in this crowd.

[She'd thought he was over-the-top, but she'd not thought him obviously odder than anyone or anything else at the resort. But then, she's probably not the most reliable when it comes to judging people.]

One more thing. I think that, even if Kurusu-kun believes you to be the Barghest... And even if that turned out to be true, he wouldn't have been lying.
