[At the midnight following each execution, once everyone who has died that week has awoken in the theatre, the curtains in front of the cinema screen will close for a few minutes. When they reopen, a platform with a small wooden box will have appeared on stage. The film onscreen will change from the mansion to display a brief clip featuring a film clip of a beautiful older woman, her face covered by a veil. She seems smiling and pleasant, but there's something canned about the words she's speaking.]

Good evening to all of our lovely players! My condolences on your premature departure from this exciting season of Murder Manor. Please know that your many fans are sorry to see you go. Fortunately, you're dead but not forgotten, and there's still something you can do to help play the game!

Underneath your chairs, you will find a stack of notecards and a pen. Please write down who you believe to be this week's most valuable or interesting player and put it in the box. Whoever receives the most votes will receive a prize this week that may help them survive their stay, whether it be a tool for committing the perfect crime, solving one, or defending themselves!

Now, remember, the point is not just to vote for the players you like best! After all, as in every season of Murder Manor, the viewers will ultimately be given the power to decide your fates! We hope this season will be the most exciting one yet, and the more you get our viewers talking, the more opportunities you will have to return to your homes! But if the viewers aren't impressed with your choices, your deaths will be made permanent.

So make sure to choose the most interesting players: the skilled detectives, the scheming killers, the hunky heartthrobs and the potential powerhouses! These are the players who we most expect to put on a wonderful show for our viewers! Make sure to talk amongst yourselves and decide.

And good luck!

[The screen flickers back to the castle. You'll have until the start of each week to vote before the podium vanishes again.]

Rin-chan... She tried really hard, and until the end I let her do it... She deserves at least something from all this--and she was on the bottom list that week. I don't want anything to happen to her!

[Chiaki would probably be immune again as usual...]

[onethirdthesoul]

Ah...

[After seeing the popularity list go up.] I'm going to vote for Yuyuko-san! She's on the bottom list... She needs all the help she can get.

[perfectstrike]

I am not certain if Saigyouji needs it, however. She is a ghost. I doubt she would be anyone's first target.

[onethirdthesoul]

Why not? On that list, they can get rid of her powers--and they might not feel bad killing her because she's a ghost!

[perfectstrike]

Bakura.

[She shakes her head and just glances toward Norway.]

What makes Saigyouji more deserving than Fujisaki or Wright?

[onethirdthesoul]

... [He falls silent, looking down at his feet.]

I just... [Oops, he's crying again, but it's far from outright sobbing.] She promised to me, th-that she wouldn't leave this place in a body bag, and if she could help it...neither would I.

Well I've already died, but I still told her I would do the same for her, and if this is the only way I can do it, then it's not a chance I'm going to let slip by!

[perfectstrike]

Then that is up to her to defend herself as ably as she can.

[She takes another glance to Norway and just shakes her head, crossing her arms.]

If this is Norway's request, he has earned that right.

[Please don't die, Yuyuko, Peko will feel kind of bad.]

[onethirdthesoul]

... [It's two against one then; he realizes that. Ryou looks defeated, but he understands. He doesn't really deserve to have a choice in anything, does he?]

I'm still going to vote for Yuyuko-san. My vote doesn't matter anyway.
