WEEK 5 TRIAL...?

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

Even though there's no guilty party left alive, The Lady ushers you all upstairs anyway. She looks...odd, her eyes glazed over in an odd manner, her motions a bit sharper than normal.

There's still the box, but for some reason it feels...ominous...?

And though she says nothing, music begins to play in the room...

Round 2 Voting

[foundationmods]

[After the 20 minutes are up, The Lady looks at the votes in the box, and then at the rest of the people gathered.

Her voice and expression blank, she intones:]

Ellen Ripley has been voted guilty. She was Innocent, and had the role of The Knight.

There will be -

[She pauses.]

W-Will be - A - A -

It's time for execution. No Executioner - er - er - I will - aaaaa - Stabbing is the execution method.

[A knife appears in her hand, and she's suddenly in front of Ripley, Stabbing her multiple times in the chest so fast that no one can react.

Then she appears back with a new box in her hands, clean as ever.]

.....20 minutes to Voting end remains.

[tacticalespionageaction]

[So this was how it was going to be, huh?

After that scene, Snake lifts up his head, speaking with the cold stoicism he's come to be known by.]

We're voting for killers, aren't we? You've got one, right here.

[Not pointing to anyone, there's only one conclusion to draw.]

I'm not letting someone else die so I can live.

[Not anymore.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Going to go over to him to put a hand on his arm. ]

Snakie...

[imstuck]

Snake?!

[Phil instantly grabs his hand, still reeling over seeing Ripley die right in front of him just after the hugged.]

In that case I'm a murderer too. I killed someone just so I could feel something once. That's enough of a crime to warrant death!

[jumpedtheshark]

Snake-san...!

[Tsumugi shoots him a concerned glance.]

You've done a lot during all the times we got into fights. W-what would we do without you?

[latebluemer]

We're not voting for killers, Snake-san. We can't do this. Not like this.

[Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. There isn't time to think right now, but she's trying anyway. Last week. Atsushi. The Lady.]

What if this doesn't end? What if they're trying to do what they tried last week?

[13thpromise]

...Stop it!

[ Roxas is trembling, hands clenched tight into fists.

He has a feeling that words, however, won't be enough. ]

[justfists]

Now the adults want to take responsibility? When it's completely inappropriate?!

[duskhound]

...Thank you for all the help. We'll do what we can to resolve things from here.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[The pig leaps up, and tries to bite Snake's nose to show his displeasure]

[duskhound]

...So that's how it's going to be...

[whirlingmace]

She's- she's super broken. I don't think it's going to matter who we pick...

[jumpedtheshark]

W-what!?

[UM. Tsumugi's hair wiggles in confusion and curves up into several question marks and exclamation points.]

Again...?!

[wrongtiming]

[He just... stares for a long moment, before:]

Why are we voting again?!

[purrtagonist]

[holy SHIT]

Wait-- again?! No. . .!

[steps back, slamming his hand against the wall, head tilted back]

OUTSIDER! Look at what's happening, here! You still think the Resort isn't dying?!

[whirlingmace]

He knows it is. He just... he's just super scared....

[swordhandled]

--Things are fucked.

[delusive]

[wow that sure was a thing with instant execution... ]

We're voting again?

[justfists]

[well. that's. not pleasant.]

[latebluemer]

[Her breath catches -- the death and the pronouncements are too quick, slashing through everything they're trying to do and lodging in her chest. Of course she couldn't vote for Ripley. There's no way she could do that.

Blue Angel closes her eyes for a moment.]

This isn't going to end, is it...?

[For the first time here, her voice shakes a little.]

[maskarang]

This is absurd.

[xenoqueen]

[It all happens too fast for Ripley to actually realize what's going on until the knife is in her chest. She lets out a startled wheeze before slumping to the ground, watching the blood pour out of her chest and onto her hands.

She catches the eye of Snake, then gestures for him to come closer.]

...Hey. [More blood comes out as she slumps over onto her side.] I gotta ask something real quick.

[rosebridled]

[ oh

well



this is not great ]

Re: Round 2 Voting

[theycallhimmrpchan]

KWEEEREEE!

[There is no need to guess what he's saying from how enraged that squeal sounds]

[13thpromise]

[ That's...that just happened.

He couldn't even react - she was just stabbed and -

His shoulders slump, but he doesn't even get a moment to think, because once again it's started again, and he can't even say anything for a moment. Luckily, other people are voicing their disbelief in words. ]
