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

[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.

[white_camellia]

I would rather not, personally. But looking at it from a practical perspective, I am the best choice.

Aside from Subete, I mean. Subete is still clearly the best choice to eliminate, but if they're going to eliminate someone else, they should at least eliminate someone who has outgrown their usefulness.

Nanaka-chan!

[zweivoltage]

Tokiwa... Nanaka. Please, don't.

[white_camellia]

I understand that saying this immediately after stopping you is in poor taste. However, practically speaking, I cannot guarantee I will survive even the first half of the next week. In that case, if we absolutely need to remove someone besides Subete, the logical conclusion is me.

[accessorytomurder]

....survive?

[sageking]

Why do you say that?

[ Is something going on they should know about. ]

[white_camellia]

[She takes off her hairpin in response, and it transforms into the egg-shaped gem she showed earlier on in the trial.]

A magical girl's magic is her life. This is only partly a metaphor: My physical body is maintained by magic at all times. Once the gem is fully corrupted and I lose the power of my magic, all bodily functions will stop.

There is a way to get around that, but as mentioned before, I suspect that there is less than a 50% chance of it actually working inside here.

[accessorytomurder]

...y-you're...

[Dying. She's dying.]

[sageking]

[ And it didn't look all that good if meta remembers well. ]

...Then, you're saying that essentially you will die before the end of next week.

[white_camellia]

That is the most likely result, yes.

[zweivoltage]

Nanaka...

[He closes his eyes. Gilgamesh said out loud what she had hinted at]

[golden_dream]

...

[As opposed to getting angry, her shoulders just go completely slack, until she writes:

"please stop."]
