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.

Inaba wasn't really ambushed. She went willingly, to protect someone else. Otherwise, your information seems accurate.

[messianic]

... She wouldn't open the door more than a little to talk to me before, because she was scared.

[He frowns a little to himself, shaking his head.]

She... must have been really, really convinced it was necessary.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

That's right, she only let me in when I suggested we study Morse code together and that was before I met up with Zaizen-chan to head to her room.

[dolleyed]

[ Deep, deep sigh. ]

It's annoying that I gotta be the one to bring this up yet again, but Atsushi is who she was closest to, right?

[moonlightbeast]

[Well I mean. He's not wrong, but.]

If you're about to say I lured her out, I'm going to smack you.

[dolleyed]

[ He raises an eyebrow. Just try and lay a hand on him. ]

Well, either that or someone was threatening you. Either seems likely.

[moonlightbeast]

I don't think people are that interested in me. It's more likely they assumed she had a role, since she was being pretty blatant about it on Thursday.

[moonlightbeast]

...yes. I'm pretty sure she felt that way.

[purrtagonist]

If anyone is wondering, Inaba's reasons for leaving her room have nothing to do with the killer themselves.

She told me what those reasons were last night.

[dolleyed]

And they were....?

[purrtagonist]

[Well, Atsushi beat him to it]

[messianic]

I see... that's probably a good thing.

[purrtagonist]

I don't want us to get off track discussing it, that's all.

[justfists]

To protect someone?

[moonlightbeast]

She expressed concerns over the fact that if she didn't leave her room at night, then she would be seen as 'not playing the game' and that the Cleaner would have to kill her.

[justfists]

... Because of her role...

[she looks so sad.]

That... Inaba...

[moonlightbeast]

You know what's funny? I called her brave for it, and she denied it.

[latebluemer]

So who was she trying to protect? The Cleaner...?

[She did mention the person in her note...]

[moonlightbeast]

Mhmm. She was trying to keep them from having to kill anyone.

[latebluemer]

... If she had contact with the Cleaner, and thought all of the roles had to leave their rooms each night, then that changes a lot of things, doesn't it?

[moonlightbeast]

Oh, no, she didn't think that I don't think. She just ended up staying awake last night and thought that meant she had to leave her room and face her fate.

[latebluemer]

Right. If someone is awake past the usual time, then that means they're involved in the night's events, somehow.

[moonlightbeast]

Yes.

But that has to do with her reasoning to go out, not so much with why she was targeted. It's possible someone found out about her role and killed her.
