TRIAL IV

Trial

Another Saturday, but this Saturday is your last Saturday. If everything holds, if everything works out. After all you've been through, are you capable of being an optimist? The carnival calls regardless, furniture arranged around as they always are with banquet table and pit in the middle.

This week's new offerings are: a fluffy loaf of a certain type of rye bread, a hearty beef stew and an assortment of fresh pies with candied fruit and cream.

For the last time, find out who killed two of your own: G'raha Tia and Sariel.

(( 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 ))

...I think it's possible. [ So he doesn't think it's far off the mark in terms of guesses. ] And at that height, it could have been aimed for a debilitating hit.

Sariel was shot in the forehead, wasn't he?

[ she knows that sariel's body is right there for her to confirm, but the mental image of that is replaced by something more horrific, from before she arrived in this place. her hands shake. ]

That's probably where they were aiming at.

He was.

[ Blade's words are spoken solemnly, but...he pauses to note her shaking hands; he's kept himself apparently calm. Hardly seeming to batting an eye. ]

It probably was. Then, they missed; completely off the mark.

[ Yet it was still "angled up", despite the general spot at indicated height. ]

Which maybe got Sariel to start running? Although I'm not sure when he would have started fighting back...

[ if his knuckles are bruised, then ayaka does wonder if cain's right about the idea of sariel fighting back is true. ]

It could have been incentive for the start. Especially if he moved suddenly.

[ And also, it was at the right moment at the time. ]

...Hard to know when he started, but maybe when he thought there was no choice.

[ Which, doesn't help, though he thinks it'd be particularly hard to tell. ]
