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.

We have a hotel room scene. We have a bonfire and some blood, where it looks like someone was shot. We have the stocks and the Sheriff's porch. Three different victims. Three different crime scenes. Three different killers. Do you think any of the killers or victims interacted with each other while this was going on? Did Annabeth watch Nui get shot from the stocks or did Nui see Annabeth's body burning? Did Riku and his killer see the fire -- or fires -- from their window?
You and Yuna heard the gunshot. Did you hear any screaming from Annabeth burning?

. . . no. We did not.
[which. only now, strikes her as odd. if they heard the gunshot, why not the screaming. . .?]

There wasn't anything we could have done, had we heard her screaming. We were locked in the clinic all night.

[ Maybe now isn't the time to be an asshole within earshot of the guy that dove under a porch to fight a coyote. All Hannibal says is Will's name, but the tone makes his concern pretty clear. ]
