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 ))

So you think that the blockade was set up after the fire? Or that she started the fire to escape?

[ Let's see. Siffrin will... draw a... diagram in the tart????? tw germs sooooo sorry andrew ]

When you want to hunt animals, you only give them one route. The bathroom... wasn't a possible escape route, because of the poker. The odds and ends of the other one feels more like it was trying to trip whoever up, but if that was the case it shouldn't have stayed that way.

[ A pause, staring hard... Eating some of the coconut. ]

I don't think... it was someone in the library's fault, because it'd be hard to set either one up if you're locking yourself from the inside. The poker was probably first, and then the blockade after, but... I also don't think... um, that this was a one person job.

[ Which is new, Siffrin's thoughts, the more they stare at the loose "map" they've made. They've done a little more traversing, on the first floor. They have a better idea of how to get outside than they did last week.

You know. Just in case. ]

There's a door to the outside of the chapel, isn't there? I wonder why... through the house, then. If that was a clean exit.

You don't think this was a one person job?

[ she tilts her head. ]

You think there were... um... multiple people?

[siffriend]

At least one other. To block any exits the victim, whether it was her or someone else, might've tried.

[ ... Shortly Siffrin's going to be accused but Ayaka can at least have this-- ]
