In the morning, the town comes back to life. Birds crow overhead, a snake nearby hisses, a lingering coyote dips behind a shop before disappearing into the wild. It's a frightening contrast to the stillness of yesterday but it doesn't mean it's over yet. After all, today is the trial.
The Sheriff stands on the porch of the Town Hall and brings his hand up to his mouth to let out a whistle. He'll thumb back to the Hall behind him and very clearly state --
"Trial time, folks. Get in here and figure out who did it."
And then he'll turn to leave before pausing and adding on,
"Bring a snack or somethin' too.
The Town Hall is set up more like a court house, a Judge's bench at the front but instead of at center, it's off to the side as if more for observation than participation. There's a table at the front of the room already holding a small box and a pad of papers and pen, for voting apparently. A side room containing only a metal gurney is next and today it's obvious why there's a gurney there at all with the corpse, resting right on top of it. Aside from that, there are rows for everyone to take a seat and it's only after everyone is inside and settled, that the doors close and the Sheriff speaks.
"Well, have at it. You've got till nine."
And then, he points to a clock on the wall that reads 12:00. Good luck.
Welcome to the trial post! Characters are free to discuss everything related to the trial here. They won't be let out of the room until 9PM when voting ends. Every character must vote and the voting post can be found here.

So anyone outside could have swung by after curfew to swap their clothes with something more disposable.
[... He doesn't really want to state what he's getting at. But a bloody shovel and the mess in the Saloon means the killer must have gotten blood on their clothes at some point.]

[But it's definitely something that future killers will probably make use of.]
...but the shoes... might have been easier to switch out.

Do you think Yuna would know if her shoes are the same?
no subject
[But. Uh. Who wants to ask Yuna to confirm something that may prove Tiara guilty? Not her.]
But I'm not her, so I can't really say for certain if she would or wouldn't be able to.
no subject
I'll ask her. We'll get to the bottom of this, alright?

[She feels a little better having him taking the lead on this one.]

[Sei is older than him but calling someone by just their name is rude when and where she comes from
which is why she's only doing it to Shinnosuke so far]no subject
[Just be rude to everyone????????? GOSH.]
no subject
All right! Mister Jason it is!
no subject
Her shoes were the same, too, so she didn't switch them out for new ones.
no subject
So there was never any blood on them, or she cleaned them up after the Sheriff took her upstairs. [It's a dead end, either way.] Thanks for clearing that up, Yuna.
