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

WEEK 5 VOTING

[ He looks at her, shrugs and then a spray of black butterflies gush out from him and now he's a familiar police detective. ]

Use your eyes and tell me. You can do that, right?

[cw_suicide]

... you made it way too obvious for anyone to believe Date-san had anything to do with it.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Swapping faces just for you Dazai. ]

Did anyone even suspect me before that check?

[cw_suicide]

[man, you really should not do that when the ex-mafioso already has a gun out.

he doesn't even blink, just aims the gun right at Hikage's right knee and pulls the trigger. ice cold.]

[reanimania]

[ HOW MANY BAD DECISIONS CAN HE MAKE IN ONE FUCKING TEN-MINUTE PERIOD, LET'S FIND OUT

JUMPS IN FRONT OF HIKAGE BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT!!!! ]

Stop it!!!

[cw_suicide]

How foolish. You know you're just being used, don't you? And you still fall for it.

[reanimania]

[ probably on the floor and crying even more because i guess he might have just gotten grazed with schrodinger's bullet or something ]

I-it's fine. I know-- our whole lives, he never liked me. I'm not stupid. But as long as he needs me, then he won't leave, so--

[ There is... definitely some miasma-eye going on, but his glasses are a mess of tear spots now anyway. ]

[sageking]

Dazai—

[ And I guess that fukken happened because he was focusing on Romani and there was a lot going on?

...also ig Saphir jumped in the way which made it worse... ]

[cw_suicide]

I aimed for a nonlethal point.

[look. the fucker had it coming.

and Saphir is too useless gay to cope]

[sageking]

[ To be quite honest, Gilgamesh had a feeling the damn fool would get himself shot on account of everything involved. ]

...No more. Just ignore that fool from now on.

We need to find the other one.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ You really shouldn't but hey we're here now. And he was NOT prepared for that and oh man does he scream. And it sounds exactly like how Ango would. How he probably did about a week ago. ]

H-how could you...where's that man I saw at Oda's gravestone?

[finalring]

Dazai. Do not listen to him.

[ he tries to move in front of not!ango, an arm raised. he recognizes that name from the story that dazai told him, after all. ]

He's not worth it. And he'll die if we vote for him. So stop.

[cw_suicide]

Don't worry, sensei. I know how to control myself.

[that said, he is giving Hikage the coldest stare.]

[cw_suicide]

Oh, no no no. You see. That man... is Oda's friend.

You? Are my enemy.

I'll ensure you suffer as you deserve.

[accessorytomurder]

...

[God, she hopes he isn't a Vessel next week.

God, she hopes Ango gets to ghostpunch him for this.]

Hikage-san. Enough.

[eyeforai]

[ohhhh my god WELL THIS IS HAPPENING I GUESS]

You asshole!

[HE'S GOING FOR A PUNCH HERE]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Yeah he's uh jumping the fuck back as best he can but he still has your face on Date I'm sorry. ]

Sorry! You believe me, right?~

[eyeforai]

[Damn it, he whiffed. Welp, that just means he'll have to go for another punch?!]

Yeah, I believe you alright! That you're a huge dick that called Battler out!

[kaliedoscopes]

[ So he's actually not skilled in combat? And handling a million things right now so yup, he sure is getting punched and screaming like a girl. Satisfying???? ]

Only with your help. [ Dropping the face but still smiling even as he rubs his cheek. ]

[eyeforai]

[Absolutely satisfying tbh?? Even if he didn't need to hear 'KYAAAAAA' in his own voice but whatever!! His eyes, which were purple a moment ago (which i totally didn't forget to mention in my last tag, nope), flicker back into his usual colors before he winds up to go for another one, this time aiming for Hikage's gut.]

You bastard!

[If he succeeds in knocking Hikage down, he'll uh. Try to straddle him with his weight so he can land some more punches tbh.]

[accessorytomurder]

...were you able to do this the whole time?

[Her head tilts, staying calm only by virtue of the knowledge that a bunch of people are a hairsbreadth away from snapping.]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ He'll deshift to answer her question. ]

Of course I was. Not that I needed to lie much to get this past you all, as you never questioned me even after I revealed my power to read memories. So trustworthy and so naive.... [ Just licking his lips here because he is exactly this kind of disaster. ]

[accessorytomurder]

...you did this in that other house too, didn't you?

[But, the memory reading... the illusions... What he said before...]

Except... you were more like a spider than somebody trapped. Weren't you?

[golden_dream]

[She writes:

"Can we shoot him yet?"]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ He nods to the first bit, but at her second question he drops his smile an glares. ]

Both. It can be both at once.
