Room of Lies

[pointzeropercent]

[Back into the trial room they go! Eight podium are arranged around the room, and seven podiums are quickly taken up. Sou, Kanna, Q-Taro, Keiji, Gin, Reko, and Nao all step up to their podiums, each looking cautious.

The last podium, Sara's podium, is open for you. It's clear that, whatever happens here, you will be casting Sara's vote.

Time to begin deliberation! The game master is watching, so be diligent in your choices.

...is what I would say if you were playing out this wholeass trial. But no, you're going to fast-forward a bit because in the game this thing is like six hours long. Fuck that.

Time fast forwards and you're nearly at the end. Q-taro and Reko have already voted for Sou, and Keiji and Gin voted for Kanna. Only Kanna, Sou, Nao, and Sara (you) have votes left.

But how can you vote if you haven't figured out who the sacrifice is yet? You are given the knowledge that Sara, Gin, and Reko are commoners, Keiji is the sage, and Q-taro is the Keymaster. But who of the remaining three is the Sacrifice? Who would get everyone killed if they get voted out?

Better talk to them to figure it out.]

[Ah, the one part of murdergames Sayaka has no experience with; interrogation/voting. Sayaka admittedly looks very genuinely out of her depth here, but it feels odd being in control of someone else for once...it's a little worrying.

Sayaka's for once in her life trying to use her analytical skills to try and look at how everyone is acting right now to try and sus out a guilty party of their options.

...

Unfortunately, Avrae has decided that Sayaka has no fuckin' eyes and has rolled a 1, but. She's at least trying to look before she leaps here--]

[pointzeropercent]

[She can't be certain, but Reko might just be giving her the stink-eye look over there.]

[destage]

[Well, it's as good of a start as any. Sayaka tilts her head at Reko, doing her best to keep her head level while she speaks to Reko.]

Ah...is everything alright? You look like you have something on your mind...

[pointzeropercent]

Of course I have somethin' on my mind! We gotta vote right, or else we'll all die!

That's why I voted for Sou: there's no way he would get the Sacrifice card assigned to him!

[destage]

[listen as much as sayaka wants to analyze reko and sees if she's got something she's hiding. avrae has decided i am the 1 master.

Sayaka doesn't flinch, at least, but she does give it some thought.]

I see. And I take it you don't think anyone would swap them around, out of everyone here?

[She's not trying to play mindgames, but she is trying to see what sort of reaction that'll get.]

[pointzeropercent]

That's- I guess that could happen. But who would've swapped with him?

[moodwrecker]

...

[To Gin:]

What made you vote for Kanna?

[pointzeropercent]

I think that Sou is the Sacrifice, meow! Kanna is just trying to protect him, woof!

[Well. That certainly is one possibility.]

[moodwrecker]

Okay... What about you, Keiji?

[pointzeropercent]

I think I'll keep that quiet for now.

[He probably has his reasons though. You just have to wear him down (with a high roll) to get info.]

[moodwrecker]

Seriously? This is life or death, you know. Just tell us.

[For once she has eyes - or persuasion? She rolled a 19!]

[pointzeropercent]

...

[Well. He's always had a weakness for Sara. So.]

I was trying to see how Sou would react when I announced my vote. But he didn't seem bothered at all. That's weird, I think.

[prozaic]

[Going straight for Sara:]

Who would you vote for and why?

[He has his eyes and ears open for anything, but his attention is mostly on her (20).]

[pointzeropercent]

[Sara does not exist currently. You are occupying Sara's space.

But that 20 will get Sara's inner thoughts: Sou is a huge piece of shit and she kind of wants to vote him out. But her first priority is not voting the Sacrifice out, and she thinks Sou might be acting weird because he wants people to vote for him. As if he has the sacrifice card.]

[prozaic]

Hm.

[Wanders off to Sou. Unfortunately he got a fucking (1) THANKS AVRAE]

Who are you voting for?

[pointzeropercent]

[Guys your ONES]

Who knows? Maybe I'll vote for you.

[prozaic]

Don't be rude. [He almost tacks the "young man" in there but almost. But intimidation is shit right now (2).]

No concerns at all that they may take out Kanna? She has the most votes after all.

[pointzeropercent]

I'll deal with your all myself if you try.

[ Schneider is observing everyone for body language (16) but her question is for Kanna:]

...and who are you voting for?

[it seems to be quite even now, so ]

[pointzeropercent]

[Most everyone seems unsure or nervous, but Sou seems antagonistic and Kanna seems quiet. She will answer Schneider though.]

Kanna doesn't know...Everyone is voting for Kanna or Sou, but she isn't sure why...Kanna and Sou didn't do anything wrong!

[unweathered]

[ Hm...it is interesting, isn't it?]

... you didn't do anything wrong. No one did. But everyone wants to live.

[quietly ]

... if it was down to you and Sou, who would you want me to vote for?

[pointzeropercent]

Kanna of course! Sou shouldn't die because everyone distrusts us...

[unweathered]

...no one wants to see a kid die.

[ Now to Sou ]

Well? What about you?

[pointzeropercent]

I don't know, what do you think?

[The text isn't a specific color, but you can still feel a bit of Maroon coming out of Sou there. He's definitely up to something.]
