[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.]

Who knows. At most it would be as many "puppets" there are. You could make the argument that this is all one person's doing, but from what the entity suggests, there should at least be more than one.

Then, for the time being, we should assume there are at least seventeen of them and work from there. Unfortunately, I am uncertain as to what the next step would be. We could try to look for patterns in how individuals are chosen for missions and work from there, but it is entirely possible that there is no pattern to it at all...

...On that note, if I may, do you recall how you decided who would enter the Winchester House with you?

[finalring]

I made my decision by looking at your skills and usefulness to the mission. Whoever was better suited for the outside would stay there, while we would go indoors.

But then there were a remaining six who came in because I believed that we needed extra numbers.
