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.

That's also true. . . [and this is why she's at the point of FUCK PHYSICAL EVIDENCE???]
I almost wish things were a bit more clear cut than this.

"We'll see what we're meant to see."
That's what the Sheriff said during the first week, isn't it?

We can't give up yet. We still have several hours to go to figure this out. We've failed the past two weeks, so we can't fail this week as well.

[and so--]
Perhaps we should split our thinking as we did last week. Some of us should focus on Simon, while others should focus on Lust.
no subject
[and he adds:] I can shift to Lust if we do that.
[he really wants to help barnham out, he's taking this pretty tough as her roommate and noct's pretty worried about him.]
no subject
I'd like to focus on her as well.
[for!! the same reasons!! she can see how stressed out Barnham is because of this]

We might be able to find something we missed.
