round 6

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

[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
ACT: VOTE

Huh, nice knife. Can I see it?

...

[She's ignoring you, Mr. Homes.]

[Chuuta, are you going to lie for him?]

Shut up!

We don't know who did it. We have to keep looking.

[Chuuta, it already knows we know. ]

[ Marisa's a terrible liar despite lying all the goddamn time, so she's just going to keep talking to Ren about his rock fingers, bye. She won't put herself into that position right now, not gonna risk making everyone else look bad by being the One Person who lies badly. ]

Well, we know who did this. We just don't know the body that it possessed to do it, for sure.

Mm, and we already have our true culprit, technically. What was the name we finally chose for it? SCP-8000?

[ he'll bury his hands in his pockets. nervous. ]

It's been a while since we cut it close like this.

[As well as one should, he is too Victorian for this!!!]

That's true! So I guess no matter what, my vote should be accurate.

We know that it did this, Drew. At this point, the only point of this trial was to figure out who's body it used as a murder weapon.

Ango too?!

[i mean. he's not really in a state to say no here.]

We already know who did it from the very start. We're going with that after all, aren't we?

Right. [Chuuta, you told them to vote for you.]

They're not going to vote for me, we have to find the culprit. How much time do we have?

[There's seven minutes left, Chuuta.]

Ango-san is with Xian-kun, and I hope to... involve him m-more. When we're, um, home.

That has not changed. However, if you go down this specific path, you are giving it an opening. I will not allow it to push its responsibility onto someone else by saying "you couldn't solve my mystery".
