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.

THE CAPTAIN

[foundationmods]

[As before, The Captain is here for any questions. Though - this time, he seems like he's sleeping a lot.]

[purrtagonist]

[but will he make Akira deaf again if he pokes his cheek]

[foundationmods]

[SNORE.

Akira lives this day.]

[purrtagonist]

[SAFE]

[dereban]

[ so, Inaba is actually going to clap her hands to attention first and foremost ]

Hey guys!

I don't know if the ghosts are actually here this week, but if they are, I kind of want to say something first before we get into actually properly trying to figure out who did this. I talked to the Apprentice yesterday, after I found Nanase-- [...] And apparently what he told me that Nanase said something really fucking stupid so I'd appreciate it if someone could help me counter it and yell at him about it, too.

I was told that apparently Nanase seems really convinced that we'd all move on and forget him, and I bet that's not the case for a lot of you, right? We're going to find out who the hell did this and continue talking to him, even if he's a ghost, right?!

[ p.... priorities but HEY GUYS THIS IS IMPORTANT ]

[escardos]

Of course we're going to continue talking to him!! He was our friend!

[duskhound]

...Okay. There are other ghosts here, right? If Yoshi is here, tap once. If you are Yoshi, tap four times.

[dolleyed]

He's not going to believe you either way. You'll have to skip the announcement and just go straight to the proof.

[purrtagonist]

[oh noooooooo]

Yoshi-kun. . .

[A DEEP BREATH, and he steels his expression, hands curled around his mouth to amplify his voice]

YOSHI-KUN! If you're here, then listen up! No matter how short of a time we've known each other, you're still one of my Confidants! And like hell I ever forget my Confidants, especially when they really need me!

We'll find who did this, and no matter what happens, we'll still be here for you!

[resortghosts]

[There's an immediate tap.]

[latebluemer]

[Guess who's majorly sleep-deprived and not here for garbage bun's bullshit. So sourly:]

Guess he didn't pay any attention to how we deal with the other ghosts. He couldn't get rid of us even if he wanted to.

[WE'RE ALL STUCK IN THIS TOGETHER, RUBBISH RABBIT.]

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley crosses her arms.]

Of course, but...can we save this discussion for later? We have only a few hours, and several pieces of important evidence to discuss. I would rather spend the time finding out more about the monster that did this.

[resortghosts]

[It takes a moment. But then, slowly, as if reluctant, there are four taps.]

cw gore + eye gore

[dereban]

[ Inaba's leaving her tablet here for y'all to.... look at the photos if you want to but she's still gonna warn all your asses that it's gory as all heck.

Anyway, one photo shows bloody drag marks that lead to the left side of the resort.

And another photo shows Yoshi Nanase in an oversized jacket, his face first in his lap with no eyes. Oh, and did we forget that his intestines are spilling over his head? Paying close attention there seems to have been something eating his intestines, because there's bitemarks all over them. Oh, and a vertical gut wound, from the lower stomach to the upper portion of the ribs. Or you know. A classic gut removal cut. Yay....

There's also oversized boots next to the body. ]

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Seconded via grunts]

[purrtagonist]

[Ripley mentions monsters, and Akira speaks up]

I didn't see the scene of the crime. Do we know which monster did this? Was it the Jorogumo again?

[duskhound]

[Thank you, random ghost that's probably Apprentice but could be any of the dead people! Now that I know he's definitely here...]

[dereban]

It sure as hell didn't fucking look like it. There weren't any spider webs.

[duskhound]

[Yeah, she is just marching over there, and... grasping. I know you're here somewhere, Yoshi. ...Though you being invisible makes it very difficult to actually catch you.]

[dolleyed]

... did anyone find the damn eyes?

[moonlightbeast]

[Well. That's that then.]

I definitely won't forget him. I'm going to talk with him every chance I get.

[dereban]

That's fine, I just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware in, you know, the fucking off chance that I get lynched because people don't trust me.

[ DISMISSIVELY WAVES A HAND but she doesn't mind moving on ]

[resortghosts]

[Again, it isn't immediate. But a hand does catch hers, and though there is no warmth, it seems to shake.]

[purrtagonist]

[giving Inaba a concerned, sympathetic look, before he returns to business mode]

Was there anything at the scene similar to the spider webs? Some kind of. . . identifying evidence?
