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.

Me?

[Ripley looks a little surprised.]

I mean, I see your reasoning, but I'd like to think a few other people here seem more likely to do this than me.

[maskarang]

I agree. There are better choices here.

I don't think it's about who's more likely to do things anymore, Ripley-san. Did Flat-san seem like someone who would do that to Nanashi?

[She's absolutely aware already of the things people have been pushing at her this trial -- the monster isn't the person anymore, so motivations and evidence might be a wild goose chase -- but at the same time she wants balance.]

If I'm wrong, then I apologize. But this is where my reasoning is right now.

[xenoqueen]

[She frowns, but she understands. Nevertheless--]

Well, if you're going to accuse me like this, I can tell you without a doubt that you're wrong.

[Yeah, this is the worst standoff ever, because the only way they'd know if she was wrong was if Ripley was voted for. Any other way, doubt still exists. Of course, that doesn't mean she isn't still considering other options -- there are three murders, after all.

She takes in a deep breath.]

I'm sorry.
