week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

[Everything is still, silent, and dark - just like it should be.

There's been no indication of trouble, nothing like the last times, when all of you were trapped in games.

If anything, the town is gentle, the people kind....and nothing seems wrong. There's no danger.

Then, why...

Is there a feeling of foreboding?]

Comments

[homeecspacecop]

Right. We can't just jump to conclusions. [He knows what it looks like when people turn on other people. He won't let that happen.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

...I second that.

[please don't scapegoat her for this of all murders]

[homeecspacecop]

And when we figure out who it was, we don't have to kill them. We can just... contain them. We have to remember that too.

[improbablenotimpossible]

That may not be in our hands, but we can try to plea for mercy depending on the circumstances.

[homeecspacecop]

These trials are always bullshit, and you know it. If we convict someone we can prove they're contained instead of killing them.

[cw_suicide]

As Holmes-san said, that's possibly out of our hands. The populace here wants justice as well.

[so like... their world, their laws.]

[homeecspacecop]

This is stupid. [It's all just. So stupid.]

[cw_suicide]

No one's arguing against that.

[improbablenotimpossible]

I know.

[His voice is quiet, but firm]

[le_mat]

[he gives Chuuta a firm nod. He could never forget that trial. Not only because of the horror of that execution- the rock in his hands, Boa's skull and brain under his nails- but because of how close it came to disaster.

He tried to hold back the tide then and almost failed. Not again]

We're not kids anymore.

[homeecspacecop]

[He nods. He doesn't... always feel that way. A lot of the time he just feels too small to do anything. But he's not a kid anymore, that's for sure.]

We aren't. We have to make sure we do things right, this time.
