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 ))

Now is not the time for this, Hwylryn.

[coldseep]

Her accusation and defense are weak. That's all I'm saying.

The price of a life is worth more.

[allrounder]

I'm in agreement that I need more evidence, but taunts will get us nowhere. Cooperation is key if we want to find the threads of logic.

[coldseep]

Then I suggest accusations be done with a cooperative attitude in mind. Right?

[whileaway]

You've spent most of this farce sitting in the food you begged off of the witch. That's hardly someone dedicated to cooperation and logic.

[Break hasn't touched any of the sweets here, even if he likes them. Have some self control!]

[coldseep]

I was plenty helpful last week... I've done every check... I investigated clues and shared them...

I'm just not speaking up when I have nothing useful to say... unless you want to waste more time on shots in the dark?

[whileaway]

How do you know it's a waste without trying?

[coldseep]

Several thousands years of experience. You?

[whileaway]

Too many of being foolishly stubborn, I suppose. I don't do well anymore with sitting idly.

[He's got nothing against Hwy fwiw... even Saffin, really. The whole situation is frustrating when you don't have the ability to solve it.]

[antemeridian]

[ ... Why does what he says have to ring as true as it does. ]

[coldseep]

( yeah he's not taking this personally or doing this personally he just doesn't like a friend being targeted with weak evidence )

Ruddering in circles will just burn you out. Sometimes, it's better to spend your energy wisely. That's all.

[allrounder]

The onus of cooperation lies on all parties.

[coldseep]

Then scold her first. She started it.

( he's peacing out of this convo he's in a poor mood thanks to the callout )

[allrounder]

[ he's gotta have the last word, so — ]

Believe you me, Hwylryn, that I will have a word with her.

[coldseep]

( ok grandpa go off--

but he doesn't seem unappreciative of this specifically. )

... Fine.
