TRIAL II

[lesmodsalouette]

Trial

At least this time you were given ample time to wreck your sleep schedule before the clocks gong at midnight (no apologies for such little sleep in the first place withstanding). The carnival looks just as you remember it, with the banquet and drinks refreshed. The spread is the same as before with two new additions: a platter of cute cupcakes that might remind you of someone, along with baozi of all types.

Like before, mind the pit in the middle and settle in to vote out the guilty party for the death of Siobhan "Shiv" Roy. With the benefit of experience, maybe this will be a little bit easier? With the mood weather lifted, there won't be any floods at trial at least.

(( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (until 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. As this is scapegoat style, a correct vote is not necessary. Please remember to vote unless otherwise discussed with the mods, as that is our AC for this game ))

[ Ummmmm. ]

... Ourselves? We can, but... The Witch says it's boring.

[ So it might be the only time they can do that.

(And, honestly. You don't... necessarily trust that so many people would agree to it, either. It might be a good time to knock out a grudge.) ]

[allrounder]

[ NOT ANOTHER ATTACK

but he'll smile anyway ]

Good morning. 'Tis good to see you.

[ y'know, despite the circus carnival. ]

[littlegentleman]

Why would someone want to leave a message...?

[uiscebeatha]

[ LOOK—

HE HAS A HANDICAP— ]

[siffriend]

[ (stab them) ]

It depends on how. Pinned down, you can't really... do much, but I'd probably go for the face.

[safetycheck]

[ wish I had an appropriate thinking icon like sousuke rn.... ]

That's right. The scorching indicated that the doors were more burnt from the library side, right? [ HMMMM. ]

[uiscebeatha]

Oh, nah.

[ Awkwardly waving a hand in her— oh shit that's Miss Grace, uh— ]

No, I'll respectfully decline the responsibility this time.

INJURY CHECK

[ocenon]

[ While we're still deliberating, Richard will go ahead and clear his throat, his voice picking up to more of a stage level of volume so everyone can here him from where he's standing by Ayaka. ]

I think we can safely say that given the fact there was a struggle, it's worth at least check to see if anyone has any lingering wounds unaccounted for. I think arms and general torso should be acceptable now, for now. I don't see a need for drastic dressing down for the time being.

[ Tick tock, it's lesbian o'clock! ]

[uiscebeatha]

I also got a music box.

[ Fishes his out of his pocket! ]

[arbalestrier]

[Nodding at Clover, Vanis and Cain.]

I appreciate the cooperation. I received the music box as well, so there is one more left unaccounted for.

[stygiomedusa]

The makeup he wears looks more like the makeup of an idol, to me...

[though this is the idol she knows, so is this really any defense of the clownery...]

[calamitish]

[ why are you asking him this??? ]

...I'm not sure about a million, but you're better than it, yeah.

?

[diel]

There was also the broken lantern on the garden landing. A red herring?

[smdr]

Y'think if we make a big, giant tie, he'll let that go?

[ her voice doesn't imply that she thinks that's happening, if they can even get to that point. ]

IT'S OKAY. PATS HIS EYE AND HOLDS HIS PAW.... ]

[distain]

[That's...rather unexpected, even from Yoru, at least in the middle on this discussion, so he pauses to look at him.]

I doubt I'd be able to get someone off of me just by kicking them.

[cleansheets]

You can see my forearms. No more than that.

[ And you better believe he'll get into another fistfight about this matter if he has to. But he did take care to wear something he can roll his sleeves up on at least, so...

His forearms are clear of injury. ]

[spotsalone]

Trusting a group this large to cast that sort of vote would be dangerous.

[ ... ]

Though, it would be rather obvious afterward if someone didn't follow along.

[calamitish]

[ sigh. ]

No? How would they even know I'm doing it anyway?

[siffriend]

[ Yeah, definitely not. ]

He might just pick who he'd think would make a fun show at that point.

[calamitish]

They're completely different!!!!!

[ he lost this argument like 99999 years a go. ]

[arbalestrier]

[He shakes his head.]

She wasn't dead for long. Most likely the dagger was left in her body when the attacker fled.

[not like they can fingerprint it rip]

[vivens]

If you were wanting to get away with a murder of a person or even multiple, it would make sense to provide some sort of evidence that could lead people away from the truth.

However, we shouldn't rule it out completely.

[fourtuity]

Were they from the library side or the banquet hall side? How possible is it for the marks to come from someone really distressed about getting through it?

[caporegrimme]

Here we go again...

[Well let's go, forearms. Look at them -- no injury nor burns here!]
