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.

That's...

[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.

Because people can't be as honest about their roles and what they know in public. Everyone has been limited by paranoia and doubt, it became worse after what happened with Sephiroth. During the trials very few people have been willing to name someone because there's been no proof. There's been almost no public discussion of who could be guilty.

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.

I never said she's the only one I've been speaking with, only that we didn't really talk about the game. I've spoken with Matt almost every night about this game, because I trust his judgement.

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.

[ Fuuma would respond but he's going to let Hinata go talk to Rei instead. ]

Good luck. I hope you get the answer you're looking for.
