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 ))

[While this is happening, he might as well confirm something.]

While we were checking for injuries, you said Siffrin retaliated when you woke him. What did exactly did he do?

[uiscebeatha]

[ Turns to the voice. ]

When I grabbed what I could of them, I just saw a flash. They stabbed my arm.

[ ... ]

I chalked it up to being a light and cautious sleeper. [ He knows, because he is one. ]

There was a pause before they turned and ran. I grabbed them. I just...thought they'd been spooked.

[arbalestrier]

[He doesn't know about Cain's vision issues, so...]

What did they stab your arm with? And where did you grab him?

[uiscebeatha]

[ Cain doesn't respond right away.

He wants to do the right thing, but this is also betrayal.

He'll look at Siffrin quickly, to gauge their attitude, for permission, if he should continue. ]

[arbalestrier]

How about it? Personally, I think these are simple questions to answer.

[uiscebeatha]

[ hold ON siffrin is his BUDDY

When he gets the nod, he looks back at the voice. ]

I don't know where I grabbed them. I smelled the smoke and I just wanted to get us out of there fast.

[ Unconsciously, he puts a hand on the wound. ]

And it was a dagger.

[arbalestrier]

I see. So you don't know if you applied enough force to even leave a bruise.

[uiscebeatha]

Just enough to wake whoever was beside me and pull them to their feet. If I bruised them, then it was an accident.

[siffriend]

[ Siffrin glances over, then at Sousuke, and turns their head away.

... A small nod. ]

It's okay. You can talk about it.
