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.

Yeah. I mean, who wants to feel like a pig put out for slaughter?
[ :) ]
no subject
No one. Personally, I'd like to think we can be more humane than the Vergers.
no subject
So, you're suggesting... an ethical butchering?
[ :) :) :) ]
no subject
Will, perhaps referring to her in terms other than a pig heading to slaughter would be wiser.
no subject
I was just trying to agree with you, Dr. Lecter.
[ :') HE'S DONE NOW REALLY ]
no subject
Your agreement could be less dark. Though given there's not too much light in the present situation, I can't criticize too much, admittedly.
no subject
What, it's not to your tastes?
[ Will, please stop ]
no subject
Not in this case, no. It tends to be more fitting directed towards the rude, at least.
no subject
So, you... like rude people? I guess you find me incredibly tasty then.
[ old people flirting ]
no subject
...Please don't call yourself tasty.
no subject
So, not tasty. You wound me, doctor.
no subject
Now you're just deliberately being difficult.
no subject
I just want to make sure I'm of an acceptable amount of taste to you. Considering our relationship with one another.
[ WILL GRAHAM SHUT UP ]
no subject
Considering our relationship with one another, I'd say you're exactly my taste, Will. I wouldn't have written you letters otherwise.
[ you know while he was. in prison. ]
no subject
Hannibal. [ ugh ] I'd rather not talk about those letters.
[ because they're GARBAGE and MEAN ]
no subject
Then we won't talk about them. Just so long as you stop making jokes in poor taste.
