WEEK 3 - TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

The morning seemed so far away yesterday - yet, it also seems too soon when morning comes and you are all yet again ushered to the third floor by The Lady. The Captain is there, in all of his....wait, no, he's asleep.

The doors close, and...nothing happens. There's still the box labeled 'VOTES' in his lap on the couch, but...

On the table is a letter, that reads 'Only one person may be voted for execution this week. Please figure out who that will be during the time limit.'

As you finish reading that, music begins to play in the room...


VICTIM: SHIROU EMIYA, HIMEKO INABA, AND MUNEHISA IWAI

23 GUESTS REMAIN.

[hnrnrhghghhh he's thinking]

Could be it wasn't hungry.

[Was that too simple?]

Doesn't explain wrapping him up though. With the blood in there, it couldn't have been long after he died.

[moonlightbeast]

I think Tsumugi-san might be right about the concealing part.

[tacticalespionageaction]

Concealing, huh? What did she say?

[moonlightbeast]

That maybe the Jorogumo was covering up for the third mafia role.

[tacticalespionageaction]

[hrrrmmmm.]

Then we could use the body to work out how it kills.

[...]

Doesn't look anything supernatural about it, though. Besides the lightning.

[But apparently that's normal for some of you people so whatever.]

[moonlightbeast]

Well we know this person stabbed someone with a sword...

...are there any supernatural creatures associated with swords?

[tacticalespionageaction]

...Haunted suits of armor?

[moonlightbeast]

[HMM]

What kind of ghost would that be, though?

[tacticalespionageaction]

Maybe a vengeful soldier. [...] A spirit that can't move on past the battlefield.

[moonlightbeast]

That's possible, yes. A dog, a spider, and a soldier.

[...]

So...what would a soldier smell like, though? Blood? Gunpowder?

[tacticalespionageaction]

[Hm.]

Death.

[...]

But a body would smell like that anyway.

[moonlightbeast]

...

Regrets and booze, maybe?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[There's some hesitance as he speaks up.]

Well... Inaba had been killed and eaten. Maybe they covered Shirou up after.

[tacticalespionageaction]

...Saving him for later?

[relentlesslyonwards]

It could be that, yeah. Or they were just... full. [He really looks like he doesn't enjoy saying that last sentence.]
