[CONTINUE + 4] week 1 || act: indict

[foundationmods]

[Saturday dawns, bright and early again. No one comes to the Inn, but you feel compelled to go to the Core anyway.

It's as if you're forced to. As if....it's inescapable. Puppets, forced to dance where their strings lead.

You make the walk past everything, until you are directly in the Core, 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....surrounded by a sea of entirely gray faces, no Monsters to be seen.

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: ATSUSHI NAKAJIMA

We caught all of our culprits in the Winchester house--even though at least one of those was pure dumb luck. The evidence made sense after the fact, though.

[dereban]

[pipes in here]

There is only one exception to that...

But I think that's because of that game's particular setup.

Inventory/equipment check;

[sageking]

We discussed checking everyone's inventory to see if there was some kind of smaller bladed weapon on them, considering the size of the wound. Let's get it over with.

[ ...Or anything else suspicious that's not supposed to be there. Who knows, maybe someone had some more of Atsy's hairs in their inventory.

Okay, let's not go there. ]

[white_camellia]

How are we defining "single" in this case?

[She does have her team after all, even if she isn't dating any of them.]

[homeecspacecop]

Even when...

When I was framed, there was enough evidence to point to the real killer.

[dereban]

[A part of her still doesn't want to do the inventory checks but considering who's dead this time...

Yeah, we're checking.

Is her knife still here? Or anything that she doesn't remember having before, dear lord.]

[soupervillain]

[ Sweats and wordlessly pulls out his knife-bat. Emphasis on "knife" here. ]

[white_camellia]

[Okay, she shouldn't have anything but the Sord, but she'll check through everything to be sure.

And hey, pull that out too, while she's at it.]

[finalring]

[ might as well see if his own knife is still here and pull it out. ]

[homeecspacecop]

[Checking inventory. He for sure has a sword.

And let's check pockets too because why not. He isn't wearing the same thing he was on Thursday night but that might not matter if they're supposed to be able to solve this.]

[onemolife]

[ Time to check cake knife and rubber knife. Also whatever else is in his inventory. ]

Re: Inventory/equipment check;

[justonezero]

[Time to check his inventory and equipment!

Maybe we'll actually find out who the entity piloted with just a single check! Or maybe the entity is supposedly wiser than allowing itself to be caught like that.]

[cw_suicide]

[his closed switchblade is still on him. beyond that uhhh... what even happened to the rubber knife WWX played around with? who knows.]

[ugly_split_ends]

I-I refuse!! It's an invasion of privacy!

[le_mat]

[Ren pulls all his inventory:

Things that, in theory, should be there- his dagger, his sword, his gun, his toolkit (which includes many sharp tools and pliers, and his lock picks), pie, temmie mask, a cowboy hat and a second empty gun]

He also takes off his gloves, for completion's sake, even turning them inside out to check for hair]

[oceanicbutterfly]

If it's a matter of being able to participate in games where the same people aren't present, I think that narrows it down. It would be someone who hasn't been a "participant" alongside Nakajima-san.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He glances to the entity then to Gilgamesh, dead-eyed before opening his inventory]

[homeecspacecop]

We're single.

mods?

[romancekiller]

[clarke takes a look at the pictures. is she able to confirm it? and would there be anything else she can determine about the death from the photos?]

[sageking]

[ As far as he knew, no knives but yolo ]

[sageking]

[ ... ]

Don't try my patience right now. It's not like I'm asking you to undress. Just get it over with.

[foundationmods]

[The spider is trembling violently.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Ah, I suppose you would count. It's particularly rude of the Entity to exclude you, in that case.

[soupervillain]

[ did someone say undress ]

[lovecolored]

[ She has a sword! ]
