day six - trial.

[foxhounds]

SHIP-TRAP day six 15 players remaining The bell rings for dinner at 6PM, and you're lead to that familiar door once again. The door opens with a sensation of warm, humid air, and there's the sight of a open staircase winding down. Ivan ushers you into an open cave before she locks the door after everyone. A large table is inexplicably set for as many places as there are people. You'll find dinner already set (though those that requested something else will receive that), and for those that have already were killed on previous days, you'll find their meal replaced with a framed portrait sketched in pencil. As you come to your conclusions about who to vote for, you can approach a table in a room to the side and write your vote before placing it in an ornate box. When you place your vote, there's the sound of a deep bell tolling. When you return to your place at the table, you'll find a glass of port waiting for you. You have until 9PM to discuss and vote for who you think The General is. rulebook character statuses character profiles graveyard Voting will close at 9 PM EST on 8/28. Voting

Maybe there's more than one fox still...? Or maybe someone else is writing on the wall now. [One of the generals, that is.]

[dolosa]

I didn't see the wall today, but, um, we'd be able to tell if the handwriting was different, wouldn't we..?

[believesin]

Anyone else would want to try to copy the handwriting. If someone took a picture, we could check, but are any of us really good at checking for forgeries? [Rena is feeling particularly paranoid today, it seems.]

[dolosa]

I-I have a picture from yesterday on my phone, if anybody wants to see it.

[believesin]

We'd need a picture from today, too, to compare. [Too bad Max is dead.]

[dolosa]

... Yeah. Unfortunately we don't have one. [ She sighs deeply with an evident frown. ]

[believesin]

Someone could use Caulfield-san's camera later, maybe... [Now that she's dead. Also, if anyone is even alive tomorrow.]

[dolosa]

... I don't know if it's right to use someone else's belongings, though.

[believesin]

Only if we have to. You could still use your--phone? [Assuming Rei is still alive. Also, she saw it before, but taking a picture on a phone is weird.]

[dolosa]

Y-Yeah, it's fine if people use my phone for photos.

[urameshiya]

[BUTTING IN AGAIN]

As someone else's belonging, I feel like you should know that objects always, always prefer to be used. We don't like it when we're left to sit around and collect dust.

[dolosa]

Even so, it's still rude to-- [ She can't do something like that. It's not nice. ]

And do we even know if it still works?

[hopefragment]

If there were more than the two Foxes we know about, I'd expect to see a lot more names. Especially since, like I said, three "unknowns" -- people whose roles or lack thereof weren't learned through trial -- were added last night. We'd be looking at three Foxes, if that's the case, and... I think a general's identity would have been uncovered a lot quicker, if that were really the case.

You might be right about it being someone else...

[believesin]

We know the generals move around at night. [Roles that are on their side wouldn't want to mess with the wall--she hopes, anyway.] Or maybe the fox found out a lot of people at once somehow, like through talking to them, but there's no way for us to know that.

[hopefragment]

It's possible that enough people figured out the Fox's identity to reveal themselves like that, but... that's definitely a big risk.

And it doesn't explain why Jason Todd's name is in red.

[believesin]

I thought it was people who had roles and people who didn't. We don't know that all the foxes work the same way Murdock-san's fox works.

[urameshiya]

If we think red means roles, then...did the second fox already know that Jason got killed when they put his name up...? Maybe? So they put up his name, but not theirs...does that make any sense?

[She is TRYING SO HARD to be useful...]

[hopefragment]

It does make sense. I don't know how they would have known before we'd investigated ourselves, but...

It stands to reason that they wouldn't single out their own name. That'd be like telling the general to target that person immediately.

[urameshiya]

Well, if it was the second fox who did it, then they could've just found out themselves, right?

...No, wait, maybe I'm wrong. If the second fox found Jason then they should've been working together but we don't know if that's true or not.

[And she thought she had something too...]

[out_of_the_kitchen]

Umm, I think if it was just people the Fox thinks aren't suspicious without necessarily having, umm, investigated them, I, umm, I think my name would be up there, too, right? I, umm, I haven't talked to any Fox, but....

[ The whole volunteering to be executed was a pretty solid clear, right? ]

[urameshiya]

[Butting in, bluntly:]

Never taking off your mask ever and then shooting someone in the head when you'd been asking people to vote for you earlier is super suspicous if you ask me.

[out_of_the_kitchen]

...

[ You know, that's honestly a pretty good point; he doesn't have a comeback for that. ]

[ghettobatman]

If anything, if you were a General banking on the fact that volunteering to be voted for would remove suspicion from you, it could be part of your strategy.

[Just saiyin.]

[pearlturbed]

[ .... it's true, and unfortunately bols is pretty low on pearl's list of "FAVORITE PEOPLE" so... if matt is dropping the mic she wants to drop it too because she's petty-- ]

I agree. Pointing out that volunteering is some kind of clear for you, as well... is also suspicious.

[ how are you even still alive ]

[out_of_the_kitchen]

[ Oh geez, why did he even open his big mouth. How is he still alive indeed. ]

I--I thought it was a good point, but, umm, I guess you're right, I haven't really proven anything....
