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

And the reasons for staying the course are the same as the previous week! Nothing has changed save we have an even more selfish asshole wanting out this time!

This whole thing could have killed us all!

[kaliedoscopes]

It could kill us all right now if it wanted.

[ Just shaking his head. ]

If you want to keep repeating the same thing over and over be my guest. But it's beyond foolish not to consider an opportunity laid before you because it's difficult.

[accessorytomurder]

...did you help kill Ango-san, Hikage-san?

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Stares flatly. ]

He said he didn't have an accomplice, and I agree with him in that he didn't need one.

[accessorytomurder]

...

[Ah. She hates this, and her expression shows it clear as day.]

...That's... not the same as saying you weren't one.

[onemolife]

I don't think he was one, Yachi.

[accessorytomurder]

Then he shouldn't dance around the question like Yuri-san!

[kaliedoscopes]

[ .................. ]

No, I wasn't an accomplice.

[accessorytomurder]

...thank you. This, the note... we'll see Ango-san in a few days, anyways, and he'll tell the truth. Please just be forthright if you're not lying.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ One beat, then two, his eyes close and he sighs. ]

Right. We wouldn't want a repeat of this week after all.

[accessorytomurder]

I-I'm sorry. I'm... I-I'm pretty snappish right now.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ He opens his eyes, looking refocused but despondent. ]

...it's alright, we all are.

[cw_suicide]

We have no reason to risk believing what they say!

[kaliedoscopes]

That's what it's about, risk. [ ... ]

But if you didn't see that last week, you won't see it this week either.
