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 ))

That seems a bit more deliberate. Someone blocked all the doors, and plus nobody can use magic here anyway.

But we had those strange weather effects around us, didn't we? Those were tangible and didn't require magic. Someone – the killer, maybe Shiv, who knows – could have had a lightning bolt trigger around them without realizing.

...huh. As an accident instead of on purpose...

[He's considering it at least.]

why block the doors then?

[safetycheck]

To keep those of us inside from escaping, for one reason or another.

[perfectpower]

But when? Did he start the fire, go off and kill, then come back and block the doors?

[safetycheck]

I believe the fire was started after the murder took place. The amount of time it could've taken between the fire and Siobhan's death, if the fire took place first - it would have spread quickly. We might have all died by then.

[He is honestly thinking harder about this than he normally thinks about things. His two braincells are working overtime.]

There must be something he wanted to conceal there then, beyond the victim being there last night.
