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 ))

It is rather grating, isn't it?

The same dialogue, every time - the same conversations. It's hard to care about after so long.

I know her lines word for word, now. I can say them before she does. I did it once; it was pretty fun, seeing her flustered, except... she kept on afterwards, so it didn't even matter.

[ It was just a neat trick. Something new to see what might happen. Siffrin didn't think it'd make a difference. ]

For me, the repeated scene that I always woke up to was the woman that I called my mother taking in another child to replace the hole I had left in her life. She never knew that I was there.

I have some parting advice for you, if you would hear it.

[siffriend]

[ (... Crazy. That sounds awful, to you. Being replaced...

...

You'd never want that.) ]

I'd like it.

[the_obedient_servant]

...

This won't be the end. You just have to stay DETERMINED.

[And that's all they have to offer.]

[siffriend]

[ Stay...

...

Aw. That's nice.

(You like it. DETERMINATION.) ]

I will. I'll stay DETERMINED until I break the loop.

[the_obedient_servant]

[They wonder, internally, whether that would be possible. DETERMINATION used to wrest control of the timeline, to fix it, to live a happy future.

They... don't want to understand these feelings.

They nod. It is how they say goodbye. At least for now.]
