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 ))

[A little smile.]

Don't worry about me, Ayaka. I understand it. But don't do it on behalf of me.

[oncefallen]

No, because there was a trail of glass on the stairs.

[...]

That does puzzle me, though. Why would the lantern be on the landing and the trail of glass going down the stairs into the garden?

[ poor sousuke......... ]

I guess that debunks my theory, then...and continues to pose the question of what the order of events really was.

[antline]

Does the glass match the lantern?

[coldseep]

( no but he laughs back )

Hey, when you put up that sunny little space again, after the execution, why don't you invite me in too? Let's fight, for fun.

( Despite everything, this sounds genuine and, weirdly, friendly. (me wan bite voice) he wan fight..........

In any case, as an expression of nature, his ability to express his powers and control the world around him asks him to channel magic from the ecosystem around him - a whirlpool uses the water around it to form, after all. Ish is the one returning his powers in an artificial space, not the nature spirits of Hwy's home - so his magic ecosystem here begins and ends with Ish, and whatever Ish provides, as that is what he must channel and express. It creates a bit of a paradox, and would likely make it difficult to actually kill Ish - hence why he didn't even bother slam against the space walls or anything during his last run...

But none of that is an issue when just fighting for fun :D )

[simulacres]

That only makes me more concerned.

[ but she nods. ]

[uiscebeatha]

I wanna know more about you.

[ The particularly serious expression on Cain's face suddenly vanishes, clouds parting as he offers a bright and sunny smile. ]

We've all got plaques with info on it, but you don't.

[ocenon]

[ Hmm. He pauses, more in curiosity than any kind of innate suspicion. How recent do the newer ones seem to look? ]

Luckily it seems that there does seem to be little harm done from the fire, given what I'm seeing.

[ rip the library though, lol ]

[coldseep]

Hehe. Enjoy!

( *hwylryn will remember this )

[siffriend]

It's a coconut tart.

[ Essentially. ]

They're very delicious. I had some in Poteria.

[diel]

[ ...

startled eyes meet siffrin's. he's quiet for a long, long moment. then his expression shifts and he looks... like he doesn't know what face he should be making. it shifts between angry and confused and - something else.

oh. ]

... Why?

[ his hand curls around the buck. ]

[ocenon]

[ nods. clear for now! ]

Thank you.

[oncefallen]

Let me check.

[antline]

[looking away from him....]

[ocenon]

[ nods. clear! ]

Thank you.

[coldseep]

Okay. Can I have a really big one?

( you can trust him )

[arbalestrier]

Do you mean if they ran out the doors from the library?

[simulacres]

[ NOW SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT TWO PEOPLE? ]

[fourtuity]

Are not! Apologize to the rest of the clowns in the universe!

[ yeah sorry just assume anything she says here on out is just more clown memery until someone drags her away ]

[antline]

Oh. Coconut. I'd like to try that.

Lantern + glass shards

[oncefallen]

[Vanis is here to check if the shards of glass on the stairs match the lantern!]

[antemeridian]

Checking for it now would be unlikely to reveal anything, unless they are particularly sloppy, since we've had the entire day to rest... but given that we did awaken early, I don't suppose anyone was seen to be particularly disheveled or bloodied in the moments after awakening?

[coldseep]

( :0!!! )

It exists in other places? That's amazing.

( he's really delighted to discover this???? )
