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

Essentially, if it's this kind of scenario.

But this is speculation.

However, you can understand why I'm wary of this being the reality of it, right?

Especially considering my history with friends being gunned down.

Speculation is the most we can do right now, Dazai. Figuring out the whydunnit may get us a step closer to finding out the whodunnit.

[ hee hee tori's lem2 days are coming back to bite 'em in the ass. ]

But this only proves that Giovanni's murder was caused by a separate person. If our killer wanted to take down two people, then he probably should have taken down the other bishop which, following Battler's example, would have probably been you.

[cw_suicide]

No, the other Bishop would have likely been someone like Gilgamesh--he was immune for a while and is able to read into magics. Powerful but ultimately restricted.

I'm someone the miasma cannot touch and someone magic does not effect. In this sort of scenario... if there is a piece to get the king out of check...

But the trouble is, that means that piece is very much in danger of falling into a trap.

[finalring]

I suppose you'd be a pawn, then. [ a pause. ] Ah, I don't mean that in a bad way, but I mean that you'd be someone that's restricted to a very small space but, if they manage to reach the other side, you could be promoted to something more dangerous.

[cw_suicide]

Mm... it's a bit like that.

And so far, the evidence is point to someone standing at 5'11" to 6'0" and a note from the murdered saying he was awoken around the time of his murder by "D".

[it's a lovely frame-up job, he's gotta say.]

[finalring]

[ he sighs. ]

This doesn't make things any simpler.
