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

The stone was found nearest Haku-kun, wasn't it?

[oh dear...]

It seems like the second death was just as much of a tragedy as previous accidental killings were...

Someone thought they were fending off a beast, but in reality...

[accessorytomurder]

Yes...

Assuming you revert, it was him who was the beast and killed over it. Assuming you don't... he died getting the stone away from the beast.

[Neither answer is anything less than tragic.]

[cw_suicide]

[unfortunately... looks like there's no doubt]

How miserable...

[accessorytomurder]

...

[In a way... that's just another accident.]

Then... that means he was definitely the one who took Flayn's Crest Stone, right?

[cw_suicide]

Assuming her crest stone didn't come at him on its own...

[accessorytomurder]

That still... means that he was in the room when the antler gouged it from her chest.

[cw_suicide]

... yes. It's likely Haku-kun went to kill her, assuming she would be an easy target.

[accessorytomurder]

....yeah. That's... the logical conclusion, isn't it?

[cw_suicide]

... this does mean we'll have to vote on someone who hasn't killed in this house.

[nnnnot the part of the trial he's looking forward to, lbr]

[accessorytomurder]

..........................yeah.

[cw_suicide]

... Hitoka? If a suspect is accused, be ready to transform.

Things might get ugly.

[accessorytomurder]

...make sure Battler has his eyes shut, if it comes to that. I-I'll keep as many people safe as I can.

[cw_suicide]

Mm. I'm just really hoping I'm wrong.

Be sure to avoid touching me during that time, also.

[you'd just revert back to normal]

[accessorytomurder]

Don't look down on what an unbreakable tarp can do.

[...wait.]

Wait. What... what about this week's motive? If Haku killed Flayn... does his chosen person still leave, if... if he didn't choose himself?
