RECORDING 9: THE THIRD TRIAL.

[foundationmods]

The worst has happened... and now you're all here, in the living room where all the trials so far have taken place. As all of you enter, the Vessel is there - Jack, looking expectant and as militaristic as ever.

On one of the tables away from the center is a small enclosed box entitled 'VOTES', with slips of paper nearby and a pen. It's sufficiently away from what will be the 'main' action, but not enough to really give anyone complete privacy as they vote.

Once everyone is inside, the doors automatically shut and lock themselves, leaving you trapped in here with the Vessel...and each other.

One of you is a murderer...however, in this game, the guilty do not need to be voted out. As long as there are enough people voted out that matches the victims...then it will be accepted.

...But, can you really let someone get away with murder...?

The choice is up to you.

But this time...potentially, someone innocent...must die as well.

VICTIMS: FLAYN AND HAKU
PEOPLE TO VOTE OUT: 2

WEEK 3 VOTING

Does that matter? We're not here to drag Haku's secrets out.

[Emil knows Zabuza was the target, so he's trying to keep that on the down-low]

[cw_suicide]

It matters because there is a motive for escape if someone gets away with murder.

[sorry, bro. detective coat is on.]

[dreamdispersal]

I can tell you with certainty that I was the target. He's from the force that executes any deserters from Kirigakure.

I'm a high profile deserter and he's only one of many who are after me.

[cw_suicide]

[it does fit with the whole "demon" thing and also the way Haku basically interrogated him that one time.]

Mm... sorry if it seems tedious, but to clarify: ninja where you are from are primarily used for espionage and assassination, right?

In that case, you're saying it's likely Haku-kun was trying to assassinate Flayn-san to collect the prize of escape but was caught off-guard by her capabilities?

[dreamdispersal]

Yes. There's hardly a different interpretation that comes to mind.

[noneforall]

I wasn't aware of this, but that's some dedication if he was still interested in hunting you in a different dimension.

[dreamdispersal]

Ninja are single-minded tools. He's only doing what he is meant to.

[noneforall]

A single-minded tool in the wrong environment just means being inflexible. I wouldn't think ninja are that bad at adapting, and Haku-kun certainly didn't seem the type.
