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.

[ Russell can't explain this kind of stuff, if there's one thing he knows more about the east is their afterlife and some cultural things. Not sword things... ]

[ Sorry Higekiri, but the fact that he still can't remember his brother's name just makes him sad :( Well, this is something they should directly ask Higekiri for. ]
no subject
[ She remembers talking to Higekiri very early on and learning he couldn't even remember his brother's name. She frowns. ]
So he could have left the sword outside of the hotel.... but doesn't that also make it sort of unlikely he'd remember where it was?

Then... Do you remember anything after curfew? Like... If he left, or someone came in to take his sword... Or?

That said, I'd definitely take something to protect myself with, if I were him. [tachi did nothing wrong 2k17 :(]
no subject
[ Russell just frowns... Look!! He thinks Higekiri is a good bean as well! He likes him for the most part! He will join tachi did nothing wrong 2k17... ]
Maybe someone attacked him when he went outside... Considering his wounds, it's possible... But why he went outside, I don't know. Did he say anything to you before he left?

Although I guess people could just lie and say they didn't know.

I guess we don't know for sure... at least, not yet.
