[ 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.

[ Hey. ]

Uhm... I wasn't at a hospital, so... I was never near poisons. . . I don't know anything about them?

Well, what's ... the name of the drug you've been using to help yourself sleep?

[ it's fine xion... he's not mad or anything. ]

Uhm... Whatever kind doctors would use on patients to get them to sleep..? I got it from the clinic around Monday night... I said to Dr. Lecter earlier that I didn't know the name, just what it looked like...

[ She hums in thought. ]

The Sheriff did say it didn't come from the clinic, or he would've just told the killer to take it from there. So if what you used came from the clinic, it couldn't've been used on Lust. That helps. So did you ever learn the names of any other drugs...?

[ Russell just shakes his head. ]

I don't really know that much. . . I said before, I only know how to use needles because the people that were watching me forced me to inject the medicine by myself. . . Pills make me feel sick sometimes.

[ Bad memories man. ] The only one I know is the one they made me take and it was a brand new medicine they created. . . And they used me to test it, but it's not a poison.

Okay. Thanks for answering my questions, Russell.
