RECORDING 15: THE FIFTH 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 - Ango, standing as firm and unyielding as ever, waiting for the time when the trial is scheduled to begin.

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.



VICTIMS: Battler Ushiromiya and Giovanni Potage
PEOPLE TO VOTE OUT: 2

It's cold is what it is.

[ he'll be taking the piece of paper, trying to turn it on the other side to see if there's anything else that was on there that could be useful information.

author? title? anything? ]

[foundationmods]

[It actually seems to come from one of Agatha Christie's works - and Romani might remember that Battler brought in And Then There Were None to the mission.]

[finalring]

[ thanks for reminding me mods bc i sure didnt remember that. ]

This book is one of Agatha Christie's...Battler had brought one of her books here, actually. And Then There Were None.

[cw_suicide]

[... uh. is now the time to mention that there's an Agatha Christie in his world but she's definitely not an author?

no. instead--]

Why would he use a page from a book he enjoyed instead of borrowing from Hitoka's notebook?

[finalring]

He may have been in a hurry and couldn't ask Yachi for a page. He's not the type to take something without asking for it first.

[reanimania]

I'm pretty sure that's what he was reading in the evening when I last saw him.

[accessorytomurder]

Yes, I remember that too.

[cw_suicide]

So the degree of rush was more urgent if he's willing to rip a page from a book he enjoyed.

Do you think he might have heard Giovanni's struggle in the halls?

[finalring]

He was woken up by someone, wasn't he? If he was able to almost see Nanaka's...form, then it's likely that the Miasma was beginning to affect him as well. In other words, it's likely that he couldn't have heard Giovanni's struggle.

[ ...hm ]

Maybe someone used that as a lure?

[cw_suicide]

The previous Vessels have said they would allow people to hear and see things if they thought it would get them another body, though. Back during Zabuza's case.

[finalring]

Hm...

[ ... ]

What if the D in that note does not mean 'Date' or 'Dazai', but something else?

[cw_suicide]

Like what? "Demons"? "Distant gunfire"?
