[ WEEK THREE – TRIAL ]

TRIAL

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.

If there are any questions, please shoot a message to this journal or to [plurk.com profile] robowest.

[ Xion leans right into him, keeping her head down as a shuddery, shaky breath escapes her.

One of her hands lifts to touch his other arm, and just rests there, warm, present. Something, if nothing else. ]

No one deserves to be offed just because three assholes decided to go on a murder spree last night! It's not our fault that this game is designed to be stacked against us.

Hell if I know? Maybe that would actually work, I don't know.

Argh, argh... arson, what about arson?! Does anyone have a history of setting people on fire?!

...other than Mister Barnham?!

To take someone down with that sort of a shot, significant gun skill was required in at least one murder.

Death! Death is the other choice we have, Milla!

[Guess who's losing his cool 100%.]

Mr. Barnham wouldn't light her on fire. [Just. To clear that.] ...Lust I think? I don't know. We know those posters don't even list everything either.

Don't throw your life away, Jason Todd! You can't do anything to help anyone if you're dead!

I oppose this plan for obvious reasons!

[Like hell he's getting killed anytime without a fight. Since they're running out of time he's running out of cool too]

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-05 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's why I said other than him!!

[ARGH]

Aaaaaaargh, damn it! Who would even be stupid enough to kill with a method listed on their poster anyway?! That'd just be asking to be accused!

[HA HA HA. . . she. she actually 100% gets that]

That happened to my world as well.

Or rather. . . a world called Elympios.

[which is. still her world?? she thinks??? Rieze Maxia and Elympios are no longer separated by the schism at any rate. . . but it's. complicated]

For years, I spent my life protecting the world of Rieze Maxia from denizens of the world of Elympios. Those on Rieze Maxia still lived harmoniously with spirits, while those on Elympios had used technology called Spyrix to nearly wipe them out.

But during my adventures at home, I met a human-- Jude. He wants to change the world for the better. Develop technology that those in Elympios can use in place of Spyrix to help both humans thrive and spirits survive. There are many other humans like him, too.

Mankind might be selfish, but I believe in its inherent goodness. I believe in them.

[or. . . maybe it's more appropriate to say she believes in Jude]
feminitis: (bITCH I WILL REALLY CUT YOU)

We saw what happened to Mister Sagihara! Don't you dare do the same thing, you idiot!!
feminitis: (what fuckery is this)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-05 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have any better ideas then?!

Shit. [This is so messed up, all of it.]

[Okabe stands, forehead in his hand, still except for his shaking.]


We shouldn't have to do this at all. We shouldn't have to vote for anyone at all. But... We have to live and find a way out.

Somehow, I think it's going to be random.

[EVERYONE IS LOSING THEIR COOL, EVEN MILLA]

I know! It isn't as though I think you're actually guilty, but--

[but??? what????]
hydrokinetics: (And why do we like to hurt so much?)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-05 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Nui, probably, but that option's out for obvious reasons. [He's pissed. He's so angry and upset and ready to flip a table because they're not getting anywhere. At least he has a dog in his lap to stop him.]

We're letting three people get away.
