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.

[ he smiles ]

There was always one thing that was wrong with your idea. I both am, and am not the Barghest. I serve Him, I sacrifice to him, I devote my life and the body I possess, to him. I chose Yoshi Nanase not because of his ability being a threat, but simply because he was worthy of being chosen as sacrifice. As my friend, and as Flat's friend as well, there is no greater honor than to sacrifice someone so important to the God that I am devoted to.

[ and then, that smile widens, and akira may just see some sharp, wolf like canines ]

Tomorrow, I will die for my Lord, and be reborn anew-- the cycle will continue and you cannot stop it.

[his gaze narrows, fists clenching]

Who is your God? Give me a name. Why are they doing this?

[escardos]

Are your ears covered with wax, Akira? I said His name once. You are not worthy to hear it again. As for why, well, I do not know. And it does not matter. The God does as He pleases and a subject such as I has no reason to know-- I simply devote myself.

[purrtagonist]

[. . .]

Do the others serve him, too? The Jorogumo? The unknown monster?

[escardos]

Ah-ah.

[ he wags his finger at akira, his tone jokingly chiding him. ]

That would be saying spoilers. Why don't you find them yourself, mister Detective Thief.

[purrtagonist]

Because this isn't a game. There are real people's lives on the line, here!

[escardos]

To you this is not a game.

[ he shrugs ]

To us, this might as well be a typical Friday.

[purrtagonist]

[shooting him the sharpest look he can manage]

We'll stop you. And we'll stop your friends, too. Before this can go too far.

You aren't going to get away with treating people's lives as toys.

...are you kidding me? Why is it always cults serving dark gods? What is even the appeal?
