DECEMBER EVENT PART THREE: WITH THE DAWN OF REDEEMING GRACE
[the voice from the imaginary loudspeaker resounds again.]
I do believe that’s the best you all can do. Hopefully it will be enough… Gather in the lobby at your earliest convenience. There, you will find an elevator. It will take you to your next location. [pause] Mind the severed heads.
[the elevator they find in the lobby is not one that had been there before: it is strange, a bit too large and industrial for what is generally a Victorian manor. nothing will compel them to board it, but… hey. if you stay behind, you miss out on all the fun, right?
and the fun starts here. because, as soon as they board the elevator, and the door closes, it drops.
not that far. not enough to harm. certainly enough to startle, especially after it evens out, before plunging a few more feet. the effect likely wears off after the fifth time it does this.
eventually, the elevator stops completely, and opens to a large, mostly empty room. in the center is a large circular stage, ringed with enough podiums for everyone that went on the excursion - living and dead. some of the podiums are covered in white sheets; one might notice that the number of dead corresponds directly to the number of covered podiums.
the Captain is present, of course. he sits on a raised throne separate from the circle, dressed in a suit a tiny bit different than his normal one. he sits with one leg crossed over the other, looking down at them with a completely neutral expression.]
You may take your places. [he gestures magnanimously, then holds up his hand; please reserve the expected freakouts for after his announcements, thanks.] The game is very simple. You have the evidence; put it together, and decide on the guilty party. Only a unanimous decision will bring you the justice you seek. [a faint smile] The one you always seek, at least.
[another gesture]
Questions. Comments. Threats against my life. Concerns.

Re: cw gore-ish
Phil chews on that. It’s not quite related to the point Nobunaga was making, but the idea of someone being active but not aware-or in their right mind—has him thinking.
“There were possessions two months ago. Do you think anything like that is happening again? Something similar? I—“
A glance not at the Captain, but at the empty space below the throne he sits on. “They were only exorcised by killing. Here, we’re being expected to execute someone.”
You know, food for thought.

Though, that's how she had taken care of Amos back home, so it made sense.
"But why make it an execution? I heard he wasn't even involved in those."

Phil looks at Nobunaga straight as he says that, and the solemn hold he’s had on the sword for the last several hours finally softens. Sorry Ylva, idealistic point stands tho.
“I just want to know,” he grumbles. “We have to do that. We can’t just—so many people died, we have to figure out something, we owe them that much—will he tell us if we vote?”
