day six - trial.
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. character statuses character profiles graveyard Voting will close at 9 PM EST on 8/28. Voting |

I approached her the same night I spoke with you. Did she tell you that?

[So what do you kids do when you're alone together....]
I listened to what you told Rena, and I don't think that's substantial enough evidence. It's a mobile game, anyone could have played it. There's no way you can use that as an argument for this kind of situation.
Maybe she just didn't want to tell you. Maybe she was afraid of saying the wrong name and ending up in the situation you've put her in.

I don't think Rei has.
There's a reason I've avoided talking to you and telling you anything. That night you noticed I asked you more questions than I answered. She's the reason.
[ He meant to tell Hinata that at the time. He didn't want to make Hinata doubt Rei or argue with him, that was a mistake. He's too soft-hearted sometimes. ]
"That's not substantial evidence" is exactly what I've been saying from the beginning. You can repeat those words as if they're new information, but they're not. In that way, this situation is similar to Sephiroth's. He accused someone he thought was guilty. It's different in that he was wrong, however. I told you at the time he was innocent and you still voted for him. You didn't trust my judgment then. I don't expect you to trust it now.
And you can say all of that but we won't know for ourselves unless we ask her. I haven't because I thought she'd give excuses. She's got a bad habit of spreading misinformation.
If you really want me to expand, I will. I did consider she might not trust me, however... No one else reacted the way she did. No one else I've spoken with has been completely unwilling to exchange any information or suspicions with me. I asked her questions about the game she played and at no point did she seem willing or interested into turning it into a discussion about the game we're playing now. She seemed like she had no interest in it. An absence of interest in the game and an absence of suspicions is strange to me. I don't know why it isn't strange to you.
If you haven't been discussing the game at night, that might be why. But why wouldn't you talk about it when your lives are on the line? If you care about each other, you'll want to find the Generals and get out of here. To find them, you need to talk to other people. Did both of you give up? Did you want to wait for someone else to do the work for you?
And about "anyone playing her phone game"... We were a group of strangers, with a few exceptions. What's different about this game and that one, aside from this one being real and face-to-face? We're the "anyone" who could be playing.

[Alright, well he's still angry, but he is listening. He won't cut Fuuma off, either, just trying to absorb everything the other is saying.]
It's not that we don't talk about it at all. It's that neither of could reach any kind of conclusion for that alone. She's been a great help in helping us understand the roles, remember? That's mostly what we talked about. I don't like pointing fingers without evidence, you know that. Why are you so surprised now when I told you then I don't really talk to a lot of people at night? I don't have anything to hide, so I talk to people during the day. It's better to get more perspective that way.
I can't explain why she might not want to discuss the game with you, aside from not trusting you. I can understand why she wouldn't.
The difference is obvious. People are dying here. A mobile game is harmless. I have a game on my electronic student handbook, even though it's nothing like this. You just raise a pet. But it doesn't affect the real world.

And you can't forget, early on the most public figures were killed.
Ema died after she made it clear she was a detective. Stocking died after showing she was an active and vocal player. Only the people who have been quieter have survived. How are you getting more perspective by speaking only during the day and only to one person without ever trying to figure out who might be a General?
I'm not under the impression she should have trusted me. I came to her to ask her questions and judge where she stood in the game. I decided she wasn't on my side. If I thought otherwise, or if I thought speaking with her would help me find a General in any way, I would have continued conversing with her and been willing to share what I knew.
But not trusting me is one thing, another is you. You haven't been talking about who you find suspicious at all? She should trust you enough to tell you what she thinks. So ask her yourself, ask her who she suspects and who we should be focusing on right now.
[ These speeches are running a little long, or a little short. He's almost done now. ] I don't think that's an entirely accurate assessment. Yes, this is a real game and people are dying. But people are also lying, and a game that helps you root out liars sharpens your instincts.
This may be real but that doesn't mean she didn't become more perceptive in the game she played, or that she can't use the knowledge and insight she gained from playing her game in this one.
no subject
But... don't think I'm dismissing everything you're saying out of hand, either. I just...
[He really, really doesn't want it to be true.]
I'll ask her right now.
no subject
Good luck. I hope you get the answer you're looking for.
no subject
[ Auger chimes in unhelpfully, apparently amused by Hinata's vehement protection. ]
I don't know if you noticed, but people are kinda getting betrayed left and right.
no subject
The first friend I've ever made, that I can remember. I don't want to lose that.
no subject
[ a pitying look - the distant sort, like condolences for someone you don't really care about. ]
If she's the General, she's not really your friend, anyway.
