Trash Squad Day 11 - SECRETS

[chinhotta]

Are you ready for it?! It's the long awaited final event! This is your last chance to get close before your final dates and the final bonus event!

And, back by popular demand, it's the motive vi—wait, no, not that. Well, I guess you're motivated to build your relationships? That's better anyway.

...Anyway! Check your tablets! You will find you have a few interesting video files! They should be familiar to you! The catch is... if you don't share each one with a different person by nighttime today, they will all be shown to everyone here! We'll have a fun midnight viewing party!

This may seem a bit cruel, but... love is cruel sometimes. Take it as an opportunity to get a bit closer to the people you care about, or everyone will learn a bit more about you! It's win-win when you think about it that way!

[ On your tablets are a minimum of 3 video files! There is no maximum; it's however many you OOCly want to deal with. Each video contains some sort of secret your character has—'secret' loosely defined as anything they would be uncomfortable being thrown up on a big screen in the auditorium in front of everyone. The presentation can be as simple as lines of text with embarrassing facts (Alice wet the bed until she was in junior high!) or as involved as a dramatically edited montage of the murders they committed through their whole life. Your choice!

Each file should be shown to a different person to count as 'shared'. If there is anything they do not manage to, or choose not to, share with someone in particular, comment with a brief description of it over here. These will all be shared publicly in a post which goes up on Thursday before the date announcement post. ]

Haha... isn't the point that it's all things I don't want to talk about?

[ He tries to make it sound lighthearted, at least. ]

[flamingprick]

Well yeah, but it's easier to talk about one-on-one than it is to tell everyone about it, right?

[truthstranger]

...That's true. And some of these I have mentioned to some people... sharing them with enough different people might be trickier, though.

[flamingprick]

Well you can share one with me? To get it out of the way.

[truthstranger]

...Yeah...

[ He looks down at his tablet and considers his videos. ]

Ah, do you mind if it's... something from the other killing game I was in?

[flamingprick]

No, I don't mind. Go ahead.

[truthstranger]

...Alright. Then... here.

[ He cues it up.

The title card on this one reads Shuichi Saihara lied about who the culprit was in a killing game trial, even though a wrong vote would have meant everyone died! The accompanying video is in fact of a killing game trial (26:37-30:00), in which Shuichi gives a very impassioned (and, apparently, completely false) confession. ]

[flamingprick]

[That...certainly seems tense. Rin doesn't quiet understand it, though.]

Why did you lie?

[truthstranger]

It's... complicated. Ouma-kun... and Momota-kun, ultimately... were trying to create an unsolvable murder. One where even Monokuma didn't know who the culprit was. The idea was, if we voted on a culprit, and Monokuma agreed we were right, and it turned out we were wrong, or vice-versa... it would invalidate the game, since even the one running it didn't have all the answers.

But... I figured out that was what they were trying to do a little too late. I'd already figured out the trick they'd arranged, and Monokuma was willing to believe I was right. So... I had to convince everyone that everything I'd said was wrong.

[flamingprick]

And that didn't go over too well, I'm guessing?

[Since he didn't see how that trial turned out after the reveal and all.]

[truthstranger]

Mm, as you saw, Momota-kun stopped me from doing it. He... didn't want to risk it, at that point, when if it didn't work we'd all die... and, maybe he just didn't want me lying for him.

So... he gave himself up as the culprit... and was executed. And the game went on.

[flamingprick]

How did it end? The game, I mean.

[With how few people were left, he thinks they didn't have the 'survive six nights with friends' rule like everyone at Nope's Peak had.]

[truthstranger]

...That's even more complicated. After that trial, things got hectic... parts of the school were destroyed, but that meant we could investigate places we couldn't go before... and I found evidence that our conclusion in the very first trial was wrong. So, I requested a retrial, to try that strategy again... It worked exactly as I planned. I proved Monokuma had lied, and we revealed the mastermind, but... none of that really mattered in the end.

The whole thing was just scripted for a dramatic conclusion. We learned... a lot of things about the situation of the game, that showed us even if we 'won', we didn't actually have any good options... we refused to continue playing, even though that meant dying. We wanted to convince the audience watching us that killing games were wrong, to stop games like that from continuing.

[ And then he ended up in Nope's Peak, so, we saw how well that worked out. ]
