TRIAL II

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 ))

Then let me ask you a question of my own. What makes you think she was stabbed from the back?

[whileaway]

Lets assume my timeline is correct, that she chased down the person who trapped us in the library. A person who traps sleeping people in order to murder them is fairly cowardly, aren't they? [Break speaks whimsically, almost lightly, for all that it's a serious topic] They can't, for whatever reason, face the people they want to kill. Maybe they are more of the "assassin" type, or maybe they don't want to look them in the eye, or maybe their physical abilities are less than someone else in the room.

Either way, they trap us all and leave. Siobhan gets out somehow. [ dont @ him, he doesn't have as many good ideas for that] As they get onto the grounds, they have a lantern to see by. When Siobhan gets to the front gate, they can tell she's mad from the presumed-lightning she's generating. They drop the lantern and leave, into the maze to hide.

Once she's in the maze too, they could have waited for her to pass them in a different row in order to come out and come behind her to gut her. They wouldn't have to look her in the eye, or give her the potential to injure them. If she put her back to a hedge, even better if they can reach through without even being in the same row at all.

If they received the medical spray from the Witch as well, it would be easy enough for them to heal any scratches from the bushes from this.
