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

Or else what, you fucking asshole?!

[Just going to yell at the voice first because she is absolutely furious.]

H-Hey... calm down.

I'm perfectly calm?

[She crosses her arms tight, because while she's mad, there's still a strange amount of composure there.]

Isn't it only right to ask what consequences there are for not voting?

y-y-y-ou hAV e to vOTe.

Look, I'm upset too... scared, too, even. But it's a little obvious we're not getting to get more than "evil laugh" as a response.

WE can probably all guess the answer's "something bad."

Even if it is, I want the coward to say it outright. After all, you know what they say about assumptions.

...Bet you that's what it says.

If it does, then sure, that's fine by me.

What's your wager, though? If I'm gonna be right, I might as well take your stuff while I'm at it.

... These matches.

[She's going to take them out of her bag.]

[The throat is cleared, with the rest in the Spider's Voice.]

I will not tell you what will happen.

Only that you will not like it.

[Well then.]

Ahh, is that so? Then I should thank you for the warning.

Let's not rile it up right off the bat.

[She just looks at him wit a serious look in her eyes - one that seems very red.]

Let me have this.

No, I will not.

[ he sounds just as serious as her. ]

If I see that you are about to risk your life for vengeance, I will stop you. Even if you hate me for the rest of your life.

[All of the gray beings suddenly -]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

[- laugh in unison.]

Of course you'd think it's funny, huh.

Well, you better get off your high horse, because I'll figure out one way or another to take you down a peg or two.

yyyyyyou

wERe allllllllw-w-w-w-wayS

a FIghTER

[A deep breath as she listens to those words, and then speaks up, a little calmer now:]

I assume you're talking about it in the proverbial sense, because I sure can't actually fight for shit.

Then again - you already saw that, didn't you? All of those times. I guess you can say it's in my nature, hm? Maybe I should be thanking someone a little for that.
