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

Um, a side note about the library wh-whether it was first or second in the line up: not to digress but—h-have we matched up all the weapons with the people i-involved yet? There's Haku's part and Flayn's part accounted for, but...

[cw_suicide]

The large sword.

Seteth-san had a spear and shield.

[accessorytomurder]

Yes. It might be a culprit or... or there might be a witness who decided to stay silent.

[She's not sure which is worse.]

[cw_suicide]

Considering the motivation Vessel Jack-san provided us with... those are not necessarily mutually exclusive roles.

[ghostricked]

There could be an accomplice. Getting someone out to get help, or even just escaping because they were close to the killer... it makes a cold sense.

[cw_suicide]

Exactly.

[accessorytomurder]

And, um... well, I don't know anything about magic, o-or demonic beasts, but...

Has anybody seen the raccoon since then?

[cw_suicide]

... the... raccoon?

[accessorytomurder]

E-Earlier...

[She hates to say it.]

Earlier, Seteth s-said when other creatures come in contact with crest stones, they run the risk of being transformed into demonic beasts. We have... a loose crest stone and two h-humanoid bodies

[cw_suicide]

Ah. That would explain all the claw marks, wouldn't it...

[accessorytomurder]

Unless you revert back when you die... y-yeah.

[cw_suicide]

[while others debate the raccoon's livelihood...]

So, basically... an argument could be made that someone got possessed with the crest stone and caused a bunch of the damage that way? Likely, Haku-kun... after the fight went from the Library to the Trophy Room and Flayn-chan was killed?

[tsunderine]

...Why is there a raccoon in the house? Isn't this place supposed to be spider-themed?

[accessorytomurder]

I-I couldn't tell you...

[tsunderine]

........

[sighs]

I hope this isn't relevant to the case.

[finalring]

Wha...?

[ wait. wait wait wait hold up-- ]

A raccoon? Here...?

[accessorytomurder]

I-I haven't seen it myself, but, um... yeah?

[finalring]

Who saw it!?

[ fuck the trial, apparently ]

[boardreversal]

...Sensei?

[Romani. Buddy. You ok]

[zweivoltage]

What-? Is it important?

[cw_suicide]

... is the raccoon important?

[sageking]

[ Romani, please ]

...How is talking about this foolishness important?

[finalring]

No--well, yes, yes it is, but--

[ ..............




................. ] .....Never mind. Carry on.

[impyroverished]

What raccoon?

[Guess who hasn't heard about that before]

[ghostricked]

I did. We hissed at each other for a bit then Crow and Sabete shoved it up the chimney.
