[ WEEK FOUR – 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.

I...

[Sei takes a deep breath.]

If nobody - if nobody has a personal reason to want to do it, I'll... volunteer. I-I don't want anyone here to have Mister Auditore's blood on their hands, if it can be avoided...

[He shakes his head. He doesn't want her to have Ezio's blood on her hands, either. Even though Ezio totally killed a dude, anyway.]

...I'm capable of this, Mister Jason. It wouldn't... be the first time I've had to kill somebody that I respected.
impulsiveness: (018)

[personal profile] impulsiveness 2017-02-12 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't matter. I'm not letting you kill someone here.

[Regardless of what she says, the emotional strain is hard to miss.]
feminitis: (017)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[well

i hope you enjoy crying crossdressers, jason, because that's what you're stuck with now, and she's crying too hard to even argue with him]
impulsiveness: (039)

[personal profile] impulsiveness 2017-02-12 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[........... can he hug her. because that's what he's going to want to do.

if not, a hand on her shoulder works, too. gosh dang it sei????]
feminitis: (ugly sobbing)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She won't stop him from hugging her, but she will cry all over his shirt.

Sorry Jason.]
impulsiveness: (043)

[personal profile] impulsiveness 2017-02-12 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[That is fine. Get ready to be held until you stop crying, Sei?]

Seizaburo....!

[ limping here to hold onto her arm, thank you ]

Don't ....

[ do this to yourself. ]
feminitis: (010)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Miss Xion, I've - I've taken many lives already. ...at home. I... I know how to do it cleanly, and quickly. He won't suffer.

[She probably doesn't meet Ezio's "someone older" request though.]

Even if you have--! [ ... ] Isn't this ... hurting you? You don't have to make it worse on yourself...
feminitis: (046)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I just - I don't...

If it can avoided, I don't want to see his blood on someone else's hands...! This is bad enough already, it's not fair...!

[Sei. . .]

Are you certain?

[Milla also feels like she could do it, but Sei seemed to be greatly affected by Ezio's confession]
feminitis: (what do i doooo)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
...if Mister Auditore doesn't object, I... I'm certain.

[glances a Ezio, expression neutral]

It seems he has a few specific requests. Can you speak. . . ah. "Italian?"
feminitis: (012)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
...no, but I...

[She bites her lip.]

...I'll spend tonight with him. If he'll teach me, I - I'll do what I can.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10798439)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-12 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[mmm. everyone else seems to be against Sei doing this herself, but Milla. . . ]

[well]

[Milla respects her. and so, she nods]


All right. If you insist.
feminitis: (010)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
...it seems like Sensei would be a better pick, but...

[She bites her lip.]

...in the future... I'll gladly take this task as long as it spares someone else from having blood on their hands.

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-12 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly. . . I feel the same. [and has voted for herself as executioner in the past because she knows she can be humane and merciful about it] But you seem very determined about it this week. While I don't want you to have to kill anyway, I respect your agency.
hydrokinetics: (For I)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-12 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely not.
feminitis: (weh interrupted)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Why..?!

[you're not her real dad]
hydrokinetics: (life threw the towel in on)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-12 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[LET HIM DAD YOU even if he's a few years younger than her.]

Because it's not right for you to have blood on your hands when it's unnecessary! [A deep breath.] Seizaburo, please. We're losing numbers fast and we won't always be able to avoid one of us doing this, but it doesn't have to be now...okay?
feminitis: (more weh)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[she's an aDULT]

But - I... I already have blood on my hands! I can't even count how many people I killed back home, I...

[she's also a crybaby though so. yeah. confidence-inspiring... not.]
hydrokinetics: (There's no reason)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-12 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Then hold off because you don't fill his requirements. [His tone is firm because yeah, Sei, you're not inspiring a ton of confidence here.] And back home is back home. You haven't killed anyone here, have you?
feminitis: (oh i guess i can't cut you... weh)

[personal profile] feminitis 2017-02-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
...only because I don't fill his requirements.

[If she filled them she would fight harder for this.]

I - I don't... [She shakes her head, looking glum.] ...we all have... with our votes, I just...
