WEEK 1 || act: indict

[foundationmods]

[Saturday dawns, bright and early again - and Undyne comes to the inn, flanked by the Royal Guard...all of the Dogs in the area, in their armor or uniforms.

You all only have enough time to get ready - wash yourselves, put on your masks and clothing - before you're ushered out, guarded so heavily that it's clear they expect trouble. Monsters on the way watch you warily, whispering and either looking angry or shocked.

It's clear they no longer have such kind thoughts of you, after what happened.

You're all lead out past Snowdin and Waterfall, into an area that's hot, and the glow of subterranian lava lights the area. Then, past a large hotel...into an area that looks metallic, where some kind of whitish, rainbow-gleaming liquid can be seen below.

In this area, you are led to a wider platform that is still open to the liquid before, with the handrails in place - where there are some seats around, and a familiar face waiting to speak with you.

This...for all of you, it is a familiar sight.

It is a trial location.

You are here to find the killer...and convict one of your own, in a murder that makes no sense.

But you have no choice.

You can only forge ahead....and try to find out the truth.]

VICTIM: HIMEKO INABA
ACT: VOTE

Even if you say someone was controlling him, it does not change the fact that we have nothing to indicate who did, and nothing is going to materialize out of thin air. That may change in the future, but for the time being, we need to offer what answers we have, and keep searching once we are given more freedom.

[accessorytomurder]

I know that. But we have to establish that much too, because...

...because, I think we both know we'll be back here again soon, until we do find the controller.

[white_camellia]

I know. Unfortunately, no matter how much we struggle, their identity will not reveal itself so easily. However, if we set the trap off too early, we may lose whatever thread to investigate it we have.

[le_mat]

She's right- Toriel already said if we figure out that it's someone outside this room we'll still be arrested.

... and if they go looking for the true culprit, we might just be sending them to their deaths.

[accessorytomurder]

That... I'm not saying we don't vote for him. I'm saying they need to be made aware he wasn't in his right mind.

...for his sake, and for precedence.

[le_mat]

I agree. I doubt they're buy it, but we can try.

[accessorytomurder]

They may not this time. But the next? The one after that? ...maybe.

[le_mat]

[He nods. He doesn't LIKE it, but the logic is sound]

[lovecolored]

....right, these guys can't come back when they die.

[le_mat]

Yeah. And well, don't forget our motto.

[Secure. Contain. Protect.]

I don't like it, but I'm sure Moriarty-san understands that too.

[lovecolored]

At least it's just gettin' locked up, this time...

[ they won't be so lucky in the future ]
