[ WEEK FOUR – TRIAL ]

[sheriffexe]

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 robowest.

[ Actually, this is a great opportunity for this so time to NAME AND SHAME IN PUBLIC.

Calling out from the bench -- ]

Bigger fish to fry? You killed my cat, you asshole. Stop being a shit and play the game.

[uraniumnumnum]

[ WOW THE CALLOUT POST

he just gives the Sheriff a withering look. ]

It was in the way.

[ASH WHAT THE FUCK]

[sheriffexe]

[ The Sheriff is just going to take a piece of wood and just --

Throw it across the room.

Braining Ash in the face with it. ]

Creamsicle was a good cat.

[insincerely]

[well the only thing that surprises Shinnosuke is that the Sheriff would call Ash out in public

which amuses him so he's just going to snicker over here]

[impulsiveness]

[Just

writes 10/10 on a piece of paper and holds it up.

YOU GO GET HIM, SHERIFF HAL.]

[feminitis]

[...applauds the sheriff

tbh]

[uraniumnumnum]

[ it donks off of his stupid robot head. he stumbles a bit, but, predictably, he's not too damaged... he just looks annoyed. ]

Then I guess you should have taken better care of him. Escaping this place alive is more important than your slave animal's life.

[sheriffexe]

I have more wood.

[ shut up, ash ]

[uraniumnumnum]

But no more cats. Too bad for you.

[ he's just being a little shit now. ]

Bringing me here was a mistake. Consider that your first warning.

[feminitis]

Hey, that's going a little far, don't you think...?!

[insincerely]

Seizaburo, stop feeding the troll unless you actually know what you're doing.

[GUYS ASH IS THE CAT KILLER BUT HE'S NOT THE MONKEY KILLER AT LEAST, CAN WE MOVE ON]

[feminitis]

...I thought he was a robot, not a troll?

[SHE'S CONFUSED]

[insincerely]

[SIGH]

Just ignore him.

[feminitis]

...fine.

[BUT SOMEDAY HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT.]

[insincerely]

[shinnosuke's future explanation of what a troll is: points to himself.]

[sheriffexe]

[ He's going to bonk him in the head again. ]

[dmails]

A moment of silence, all, for poor Creamsicle. Gone too soon.

[Okabe bows his head for a moment. He'd shed a fake tear if he could.]

[Okay, that's enough of that.]

[leadastray]

[where is justice for cat]what?
