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.

She was also killed at or around midnight, based on what Natalie, Yuna and I overheard. Otherwise, that covers everything.

[ Nisha considers. ]
The girl wasn't popular, seems like. I bet plenty of people could talk themselves into it being a justified kill. And, way less brutal than the other two. More like a practical job from someone who doesn't necessarily enjoy it.

Someone who didn't want to be one, and was trying to be as merciful as possible while taking out a perceive threat.

[ Given that Sei is currently missing a limb. ]
Was there anyone else on board with that?
no subject
Not that I know of, unfortunately. But that doesn't mean someone didn't feel the same way as Seizaburo and just kept silent about it.

It looks as though we have someone whose alibi for midnight is a little shaky, too.

Sure sounds like it. Do we know if either of them are a good shot?
