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 ))

Of course not.

You only have to look at the reactions to this accusation to say that.

...That's the point, yeah.

[ Oh, boy, this is going to be messy. ]

[antemeridian]

[ Was it ever going not to be?

She can't respond to the metatext, so: ]

... it is not going to get better. We all have friends or connections at this point, I think.

[ whether they want them or not. ]

[fourtuity]

[ It took less than nine hours for her to think she didn't want to leave people behind. What are her chances here? ]

...Yeah, it's not.

[ Lili is silently listening to their chat. They're both right.

She doesn't regret anything. She never will. Even if one of them turned out to be a murderer, she could not find it in herself to hate them.

(Yona...what would you do, if you were me? This isn't justice. This isn't right. But...you'd want to at least know the truth, wouldn't you? To protect people...to protect yourself. To end this foolish game filled with meaningless death and anguish...

And yet, I'm still so powerless.

Please...I need you.) ]

It was designed to be painful.

It is why forming friendships and attachments in this game is foolish.

[Some part of them has to admit - that despite this bravado - they too have people here that they would mourn. Even them.

But such feelings of sentimentality should only be crushed.]

[distain]

[Well, that was what she was hoping for, but... perhaps she hasn't done quite enough to make someone else speak up for him.]
