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.

VOTING RESULTS

[foundationmods]

That's ENOUGH!

[The authoritarian voice that suddenly washes over everyone makes the entire action stop. Even The Captain wakes up, as The Lady walks into the room, accompanied by the short woman you saw last week beside her.]

This is a trial, not an arena! Stand down!

[The shorter one lifts her hands, grinning as she motions in one swift gesture to the walls.

Every single person there, except for The Captain, is plastered against the nearest wall, which rises up to cover their arms and legs. It's like struggling through sticky syrup if they try to move them.

The Lady looks at The Captain, who quickly straightens up, stands, and unfurls the parchment.

FLAT - 24
MAKOTO - 2
BENNINGS - 1

After that, the woman lets everyone go - all crashing to the floor in a heap, as she nods to The Lady, who speaks again.]

I will tolerate no more fighting. Those that fight before the execution will be punished with impunity. Barghest - this includes you.

[After that announcement, The Captain steps forward, looking at everyone.]



Flat Escardos was Guilty, and The Barghest. Congrats on finding an actual Mafia member this time. Idiot Genius - you'll be escorted back to your room, where you'll have your final meal. Anyone who wants to see you may, in the comfort of your own room. Escape attempts or rescue missions will not be tolerated, and anyone who tries will be instantly removed from the game.



Now get your asses back to the lobby.

[Well all in all Phil is taking this better than last week.

Still he can't help but look around as he sees the results (still hiding behind Ripley).]

Might I ask who saw all of that and thought that Bennings did it?

[diesifkilled]

It's three votes for people other than the Barghest. Those were probably the Mafia.

[imstuck]

[He folds his arms.]

The mafia sucks, in that case.

[Words of a genius.]

[geckodad]

A moron.

[Seriously, who the hell does that]

[resortghosts]

[Oh look, he found a pen!]

Might've done it as a joke, since everyone with sense would vote for the Barghest and therefore Bennings would not win majority. Very poor joke, if so.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He groans as he slowly pulls himself off the ground]

Son of a... Is everyone... okay?

[purrtagonist]

[and at the results, Akira just. . .]

[exhales]

[escardos]

[ as soon as flat falls on the floor, he doesn't get up at first. he seems dazed, trying to rationalize everything that happened these past few minutes. and then, he smiles. it's serene, but also...fulfilled. ] I may have been caught, but I have not lost. My God has received his sacrifice, and will continue to do so in the future. Your futile attempts will not stop me, even if this body is set in flames.

[resortghosts]

[Sticky note gently plastered to his face.]

Edgy.

[escardos]

Can you stop doing that!?

[ JESUS FUCK HE HATES THESE GHOSTS ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Finally, someone else can have that nickname. ]

[dereban]

Thanks for the hint, asshole.

[xenoqueen]

[so are all monsters vulnerable to fire or like]

[purrtagonist]

[. . .]

Who is your God?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ There's just a loud snort. ]

There are no gods.

[latebluemer]

We're not here to be your sacrifices. There wouldn't be this stupid 'game' you're all trying so hard to play if there wasn't a way to stop you, would there?

[dereban]

[ just. . .

letting out a heavy exhale thank god that's over ]

[diesifkilled]

[Shirou's getting out as soon as he can. Byyyyeee]

[messianic]

[Yeah, Minato just sticks around long enough to peel himself off the wall, and then turns on his heel and goes.

He's tired.

He really, really needs a nap.]

[resortghosts]

[Can he stop long enough for a ghost to catch his hand?]

[moonlightbeast]

[Yeah, someone's not getting up off the ground. He got a little tuckered out and is just going to nap while his body heals.]

[whirlingmace]

[ She's going to go lay next to him until he wakes up so he won't be lonely ]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He lets out an exhale as he picks himself off the floor, sheathing his sword.]

I guess it's over. [There's a glance over at Flat - no, the Barghest - before he makes his way back to the lobby.]

[jumpedtheshark]

I wasn't even fighting...!

[Why'd you have to stick her to the wall?? Rude!]
