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

[ He considered the arguments made.

The myriad of possibilities. The answer to him would be clear:

Which one would be the most likely outcome based upon the situation they were in? ]

I've no interest of allowing Zabuza to leave. The man is infected by miasma, and you presume that he'd even be allowed the choice to get cellphone service. And even if he was, that he would have access to that service in the first place.

If he had someone as backup, perhaps it could be a plan that's tenable. But even at his skill level, he is only one person. Think about why the creature wouldn't allow two culprits to escape, even if they fulfilled the motive.

There are many other reasons why I've reached such a decision but I've also reached the conclusion that the most likely outcome would be that he's walking into a trap.

[ Like what a certain detective had theorized.

As for the other question, he hadn't really decided yet, and felt he had hardly a need to say even if he did. ]

There are people not infected by the miasma that we could send instead.

[ He considered that for a moment. ]

Hmph...that would involve requiring to place our trust in Zabuza to defer to one of the others instead of himself.

[ ...In which he was included in the 'others' part of that. From what he could tell so far, Zabuza didn't seem inclined to allow anyone else handle such a task. ]

[notbymyside]

Let's ask him, then. If he would do that. He would live regardless, he would just still be stuck in the house with us.

[sageking]

Ridiculous...

[ Beat. ]

We'll see, I suppose.
