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 ))

We spoke on occasion. I did get the feeling she would be unafraid to be particularly wrathful if provoked.

[simulacres]

So you think... that she went to get revenge on her killer and ended up getting killed instead?

[baebladie]

I believe it is possible.

[allrounder]

[ she kind of scared him a little....... ]

[baebladie]

[ Those who are named after sharp implements are not to be messed with- ]

[ocenon]

[ solidarity. ]

[baebladie]

[ So-li-darity indeed...

tmw I realized three people in this game are named after weapons. ]

[the_obedient_servant]

She was a corporate heiress - the textbook definition of a psychopath.

[baebladie]

The killer must have found out the hard way.

[ Even if Shiv, y'know, died. ]

[simulacres]

What does one thing have to do with the other?

[ sorry guys, ayaka doesn't know about class consciousness. ]

[the_obedient_servant]

Empathy is a weakness that the rulers of the human world cannot afford. Their way of life is maintained by crushing the hopes and dreams of others - a moment of weakness - a moment of kindness - would allow their own lives to be destroyed by someone more dedicated to the pursuit and maintenance of power than they are.

It has nothing to do with her as an individual. She is just another spoke on the wheel. A faithful servant playing her role. Much like your weapon.

I actually liked her - a little.

[ Don't mind the way this has him clenching his fists in emotion by the sidelines.... collateral damage. ]

[damn go off chara]

[smdr]

No such thing as a king that isn't a bastard?

[ or something. ]

[the_obedient_servant]

Precisely.

[ocenon]

[ haha! yeah. ]

[simulacres]

I see. I think I understand now.

[ now she understands it a little better. yeah, she can think of people like that. it's just that. ]

Although Saber is not my weapon.

[the_obedient_servant]

He didn't seem to object to the phrasing.

He is your servant, correct? Bound to you?

[simulacres]

We are.

[ she nods. ]

I guess I'm more picky about the phrasing than he is. I'm not surprised.

[the_obedient_servant]

I have some familiarity with what it means to be bound to the will of another.

[And that's all they'll say about it.]

[antline]

...

[closing his eyes for no reason]

[simulacres]

I think you've misunderstood our relationship.

[ and that is all she will say on the subject as well. ]
