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 ))

Given that there is a maximum number of wishes, [ thanks to Junior's comment to Sabo ] I believe that this could be the case. Seems as if they were desperate to have their wish come true indeed.

[oncefallen]

Desperate, and perhaps lacking confidence in their own abilities. It doesn't take any particular strength or skill to lock people in a room and set it on fire, after all.

[allrounder]

It does not. I have to wonder how well planned it was, too, given the random assortment of items used to block the door.

[distain]

Didn't you say one of the handles was broken?

The debris likely wasn't part of the plan at all.

[allrounder]

Indeed it was. I found the handle near the debris.

[ So, haphazardly tossed in there, maybe? He isn't sure. ]

[distain]

What caused the pitting, I wonder...

[Mentally going through his list of items...} You said the rolling pin stood out to you?

[allrounder]

I wonder as much myself. An object, mayhap.

[ Something hard enough to fuck up metal. ]

A rolling pin is a strange item to try and barricade a door with, is it not? Not unless one were to place it between the handle and the door to jam it.

[distain]

[Indeed. She'll keep at the drawing board.]

It likely would have been warped or broken somehow.

[allrounder]

My thoughts as well.

[siffriend]

... Um. To me, the collection... sound a lot like something someone might use as an alarm, or to trip someone up if they were chasing them.

[ Even if it was causing the blockage, Siffrin

figures it's probably an okay thing to point out. ]

[allrounder]

I think you could be correct. A rolling pin could easily trip a person who is running and not paying care to their surroundings.

[caporegrimme]

Especially when they're all asleep. No matter what, there's a very callous disregard for life here, if the purpose was to kill enough people to get as many wishes as possible.

[It takes a special kind of detachment to do something like that]

[oncefallen]

Yes. Whatever their wishes may have been, they were unquestionably determined.
