CG1: Day 3

The third day of COBS Game 1 started on 4 July 2022 at 04:19 UTC, just proceeding the game’s third night.

The players were awoken by the same announcement they had heard the mornings prior, unlike yesterday, today only had 1 body to discover. Cauliflower informed them that they must discover this body then report to the common room afterwards. With that, the 7 players headed out on their search.

While searching, Player #05, Seven, discovered the body of Player #09, Ki, in the beauty room. Cauliflower then announced the discovery of the body and then instructed players to please make their way to the common room and that they had 5 minutes do so. Hesitantly, they obliged and made their way there.

## Trial 3

The players, one by one, entered the common room, where they met staff members Germaine and Cauliflower yet again at their posts.

The television in the room then burst to life, explaining what this portion of the game will be. There will be a discussion period for players to discuss who they think could be Mafia, then following that will be a voting period where the most voted player will have to be executed. With that in regard, the players then sat themselves down at their respective numbered seats and began the discussion period of the trial, canonically lasting an hour.

The trial started off with a good long silence before Player #02, Kylie, perked up and stated that Player #07, Elijah, was Mafia. Kylie then went on about how Elijah has been staying quite on their lonesome and has been very quiet throughout the entire game, possibly that being their entire strategy to deflect any suspicion from them. No-one really knew how to counter Kylie, nor was Elijah even doing so themself.

The trial slowly devolved into silence again until Cauliflower asked the players if they have anything else left to say, the players denied they didn’t really have much else to talk about. Cauliflower then asked for Germaine to go ask Monty to see if they can end the discussion period prematurely because of this. After a minute, Germaine came back and said Monty allowed it.

The discussion period was now over. With that, the players all raised their hand to point at whoever they wanted to vote for. The results were then totalled. Player #04, Alma, received only 1 vote from Elijah. Player #05, Seven, also received only 1 vote from Player #14, Reni. Elijah received 5 votes from Kylie; Alma; Seven; Player #10, Tsuji; and Player #12, Moss, altogether. Elijah was now to be executed.

Cauliflower then walked into the centre, carefully placing a tube of mysterious contents in a test tube rack down on the ground with a folded piece of paper. Everyone was hesitant to take the paper as there was a trend of those doing the execution having died the night after. After a while, Alma got up from her seat to go and grab the paper, she then opened it. In it, there was a detailed paragraph on how Alma would have to execute Elijah in a certain way and could only leave the room after finishing the execution. The paper also specified that Elijah should not be allowed to leave the room, that is if he’ll still be conscious. Alma took a deep breath as she took the tube from the rack as she made her way to Elijah.

\*\*TW - DETAILED VIOLENCE / MURDER, SKIP TO NEXT PARAGRAPH IF NEED BE\*\* - Alma was afraid of what she had to do next, but she knew she had to do it if she wanted to live another day. She removed the cork from the top of the tube and carefully poured the acid directly onto Elijah’s head, turning his flesh into a goopy, bloody mess in just a few seconds. Alma continued to pour as Elijah started screaming in agony, but his screams were short lived as his brain melted into a pink goo. Alma took a step back as she watched Elijah slowly deform into something unrecognisable.

Every player stood in shock at the ongoing execution. Once Alma had finished, the television burst to life once more, announcing that Elijah was apart of the Mafia, it then turned off. Alma then left the room, all the rest of the players following her out.

Day 3 proceeded to end there on 4 July 2022 at 05:35 UTC, 18 hours and 25 minutes before the game’s fourth night.
