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

[ She hears those words and visibly tenses up, shaking as her hands scrunch around her skirt. Rei herself won't say anything, but she'll be sitting down in clear fear. ]

[ghettobatman]

[He'll wait for Fuuma to explain himself before jumping on him, but there is something he wants to ask Rei herself]

Rei, may I ask you something?

[dolosa]

...

[ She's quiet at first, but then, she answers simply, ]

Go ahead.

[ghettobatman]

You told me before you played this game on your phone. Can you show us?

[Well, him... but he can't see]

[dolosa]

I can show the menu, but I can't start the game up. There's no internet.

[ She takes out her phone and flips it open, going through the menu until she finds it. Some simple music plays and the words "Rabbit Doubt" shows up, along with a picture of a cute little rabbit that's being hung. ]

[hopefragment]

[Good god, Rei, what a nice game for such a nice girl to be playing. Hinata looks a little disturbed at the sight of the menu, but-]

Matt, it's a menu screen for a game called "Rabbit Doubt." The picture shows a white rabbit that's been hanged, with some red blood.

[ghettobatman]

Thank you, Hinata. [why are kids into this game...]

[Rei why are you playing this]

So the rabbit would be the innocents, I suppose, and a predator animal would be something like the General role?

[dolosa]

Yes, that's right. In this game, it was a wolf disguised as a rabbit. The game only allowed small groups, so there was only one wolf. But there are other games that are similar that allows bigger groups to be the "General" role, or the "mafia".

[ghettobatman]

It seems pretty gruesome for a cellphone game. [WHY ARE YOU PLAYING THIS, REI.]

Have you played these games on your phone, as well?

[pearlturbed]

[ .... ah. ]

Rei.

[ .... ]

Last night, you were one of those to insist that there weren't multiple Generals. Considering you've played games like these before, your insistence that you didn't expect something like this is... odd, as right now you've said there are other games that allow bigger groups to be...

[ murder-y people. ]

... You were quick to suggest the gunsmith role. Why not the idea of multiple people being Generals?

[baaaaka]

[ he doesn't really know what he's looking at - he's not familiar with technology - but he recognizes a dead rabbit, at least. ]

What's that supposed to be? [ some kind of anti-Rabitz propaganda?? ]

[dolosa]

Um, this is the game I play back home. It's a rather popular game back at home... it's like this one, without roles. Though I know about the game that has roles, too.

[baaaaka]

Heeeh. So you've done this before. [ a crooked smile pops up on his face. ] Are you actually good at it?

[dolosa]

I can't say if I'm good or bad at it. We manage to usually get the wolf, but we only play with a small group of people, and it's always the same group, so we eventually figure out their patterns.

[hopefragment]

[If you don't think Hinata's hovering somewhat protectively near her, I'm not sure what you were expecting. He's too mad to put a hand on her shoulder though. He needs these for objections.]

[dolosa]

You... you believe I'm not a General, right? [ Her voice is clearly shaky as she speaks up out of what seems to be clear fear. ]

[hopefragment]

Of course! There's no way I'd believe that!

[dolosa]

I-- [ There's a pause as she shakes her head. ] I'm glad you believe me. I'm not a liar, I'm not...

[hopefragment]

I believe you. I'll find the holes in his argument and break through them.

[Is this what you've been training him for, Rei...]

[dolosa]

Y-Yeah. Um, if I need to answer anything... I'll answer truthfully, too. Thank you.

[hopefragment]

[A little later:]

Rei... who would you vote for? Based on your suspicions...

[believesin]

Hazama-san, how did you end up in a wheelchair? People are asking if you need it, but you really do, right...?

[dolosa]

My parents took me on a trip after... things happened. They crashed into something, and I was the only survivor.

[believesin]

I see. [Rena winces at that. Losing her parents...] How old were you...? Will you ever walk again...?

[dolosa]

Three years ago. And yes.
