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.

After 364 games you haven't thought about it at all? Nothing? How can you manage that?

Can I ask you one more question? [You know. To not push his luck. This has been surprisingly civil, he's not used to it.]

[ Because you're not being a pain about it, Percy!! ]
Yeah, shoot. What'd you want?

That camera Xion and Shinnosuke found out here on Thursday. Stuff like that, that's what you meant about seeing what we're meant to see? Or was that just a total fluke that we just happened to find when they were in the right place at the right time?

Got it. But that also means that's probably not the only way your employers can see us?

Jason was set to be a witness but with the added parties, it got complicated. So, I put them in the cells so it wouldn't make things too over the top.
[ But the other question gets a shake of his head. ]
Multiple ways. Camera's for broadcasting, not watching.

... If required, they might send a... conduit. Sorta.

Like an Oracle, kind of. [Comparing to what he knows.] What would require that, do you think?

[A pause.] Uh. Thanks for everything today, I guess. Answering questions and everything. It was actually helpful.
