RECORDING 12: THE FOURTH 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 Vessels are there - Flayn in her darkly pious glory, and Haku, ever the perfect shadow at her side.

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 Vessels...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.



VICTIM: Ango Sakaguchi
PEOPLE TO VOTE OUT: 1

WEEK 4 VOTING

So we're just gonna add him to part of that thing huh.

[reanimania]

[ thaaaat's a point... ]

[golden_dream]

...

[That expression worries her. She starts writing, showing him:

"Yes, we are. We're voting the guilty, Dr."]

[reanimania]

[ ahahaha sorry let him just accidentally knock his own glasses off so that he can't read that ]

[foxetious]

[Unlike Saphir, Gin purposely looks over your shoulder to read it, Rosa.]

I think I will have to disagree, Rosa-san. Have you considered, with how powerful Subete is, that giving the ghosts that kind of power is rather counterproductive? It's not confirmed that only the victims become the Vessels.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Not saying anything but gesturing. Cause like.... yeah. ]

[white_camellia]

And do you have any guarantee he will not try something like this again and immediately get killed anyways, possibly taking everyone else with him?

[There is basically no way to win here, let's be real.]

[oxidegreen]

[...Oh.]

...He wouldn't be part of the game anymore.

[boardreversal]

...the Motive?

[Mmmm...]

[sageking]

[ He'll just look tired.

On one hand, he's irritated as all hell he killed Ango. But on another, Subete and Ango being on the loose...and with their powers combined that plan of Ango's for a possible escape... ]

So you mean to imply that he wouldn't exactly pose a threat against us in that state.

[onemolife]

I do wonder what that means... would he end up like the ones outside then?

[eyeforai]

No, but it looks like he'll be out of commission for now. If he dies today, we're gonna have to deal with him next week. As even more of an asshole.

[foxetious]

[PREACH DATE]

I agree, it's rather important to consider.

[cw_suicide]

What part of what I said yesterday didn't already give away how fucked we are?

[adding Subete won't change the levels of Fucked]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ A beat and then a sigh. ]

So we're just going to make it worse and gain nothing from any of this? It's an opportunity to see if they would follow through on their incentive.

[cw_suicide]

How would we even know if it happens like they say?

Get real. He fucked us over so he could get away scot free. That's all there is.

[eyeforai]

And didn't Ango volunteer on the basis of helping everyone escape? He didn't wanna be voted off randomly, but he would've preferred it over letting us rot here.

[cw_suicide]

He didn't want to die. He said it because no one else was stepping up! That's what he told me!

[golden_dream]

[Writing:

"Pretty much.

We're already fucked, aren't we? If you're stuck in a hole this deep, might as well keep digging."]

[eyeforai]

And he won't be beholden to the house's rules if he goes free. Think about what that means.

[golden_dream]

[Flips her notepad to a pre-written page:

"No."]

[zweivoltage]

I know I tried to save him - but I don't think he cares about doing more than escaping himself.

[accessorytomurder]

Do you have a better, explicit suggestion, or is this just an... an abstract, devil's advocate point?

[white_camellia]

[Siiigh, looks like she's got to do this after all.]

If we absolutely must let Subete live, I am probably the best option to sacrifice.

[cw_suicide]

Do not do this.
