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 ))

[ Hm. ]

Did Shiv play a role in organizing the library slumber party? What reasons did everyone have for choosing to spend the night there?

[littlegentleman]

It seemed as if most of us didn't anticipate meeting others there. Personally, I was only following Lili.

[spotsalone]

Then it's likely that whoever set the fire either hadn't been planning to involve so many people... or seized an opportunity. I would hope it's not the latter.

[simulacres]

I'm not really sure why she did it.

[ she shakes her head. ]

I was there because it's usually quiet. Though not this time, obviously. I think someone had prepared snacks and drinks and everything.

[the_obedient_servant]

Nobody organized it. We all largely went there on our own.

[distain]

Do you know who brought the refreshments? It seemed whoever did wasn't expecting quite so large a group as ours...

[the_obedient_servant]

I'm pretty sure Lili and Junior brought hot chocolate, largely for their own consumption.

[distain]

Are we really that unlucky? Hah...

[The laugh implies that she could believe it.]

[the_obedient_servant]

I don't believe in luck.

Mine is simply a cursed existence - that is by design.

[whileaway]

I brought some macaroons, for my own treat, as well.

[He shared with Junior, but that wasn't the intention when he brought them.]

[the_obedient_servant]

You didn't give me one.

[They are so fucking mad.]

[whileaway]

I was sharing with my newest friend. Surely you wouldn't begrudge a child some sweets?

[the_obedient_servant]

[Hmmmggrm. Junior rights, I guess.]

[safetycheck]

...It's true. We weren't anticipating there to be so many people.

[remainsilent]

Blade and I brought our own drinks. The plan was to finish catching up on my notes somewhere quiet.

[distain]

Oh.

[She is behaving.]

My sincere apologies for intruding.

[remainsilent]

As I said before, I didn't mind the additional company.

[ He was only working on his notes. If Blade had other plans well... sucks for him ]

[distain]

She told me that she didn't, that she wasn't invited, and that she wandered in - the same as I did. Pretending to drink and socialize, just like any other party.

[spotsalone]

Do you think she was telling the truth?

[distain]

To my knowledge, she never lied to me before, but I do believe our upbringings were similar.

[She truly believes there's no one who could really understand, but it always sounded like Siobhan had might come close if they had lived a little differently.

It does also mean that she would believe, in an instant, that Shiv lied to her.]

She was thinking about the potential of someone dying, but who wasn't? I can tell you that's why I wasn't in my room - in case someone came looking for me.

[whileaway]

I went there to sleep away from others, as far as I know we all came separately as other's have stated.

[vivens]

I decided to go to the library on a whim. Seeing everyone there was a surprise to me, much like the rest have been saying so far.
