TRIAL IV

[lesmodsalouette]

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 ))

Alright, we're running out of time, so let's compile what we have.

[ this is ayaka's attempt at sounding authoritative. ]

We know that Sariel and G'raha were killed by one culprit. From the checks that we have done, we found out that the coat could fit Sousuke, Break, Angelo, Hwylryn, Dan Heng, Richard, Cain, Bradley, and Vanis. On top of that, when we checked the hair, we saw that it could possibly match Bradley, Vanis, Angelo and Break for the white hair, while the black hair could match Bradley, Vanis, and Dan Heng. And, we have the topic of Angelo's gun, which according to him, was taken while he slept. Three shots were fired from it.

[ she waits a couple seconds for that info to be absorbed, and then adds: ]

My personal theory is that we are looking for someone that was in the tea room. This would give them access to the hair and the gun both, plus give them an idea of what size of coat to use. Someone who has a decent idea on how to set traps, too.

[ ... ]

Also, according to Ish, this person's wishes apparently wouldn't hinder his plans nor would it prevent us from getting home. Whoever it is, you've already gotten it, whether or not you're caught. This part might not be important right now, but I just want to make sure everyone knows that, too.

[ and with that, she'll shuffle back to richard's side. ]

[whileaway]

Can you remind me why the tea room occupants are the main suspects?

[Not that he wants to be on the list, or anything, but I can't remember how we got that conclusion]

[arbalestrier]

The lieutenant didn't plan on staying in the tea room, but they took his gun and used it. If they didn't already know where he was, they would have been better off framing someone else.

[Of course, that's assuming Angelo isn't lying.]

[simulacres]

Because in every one of the checks that we've done, multiple people from the tea room fit the bill. As I said, I think it's easier for someone to have done it from the inside than for someone from the outside to pick a room at random and somehow get lucky with finding Angelo there.

[uiscebeatha]

If we go with the tea room theory, then we're looking at Lili, Angelo, Blade, Dan Heng, Junior, Clover, Urianger, and Vanis.

[ Not that he particularly likes any of these options as culprit, but. ]

We...do know their barricade was broken from the inside, right?

[ just double checking this ]

[simulacres]

Um... can someone from the tea room confirm this?

[uiscebeatha]

[ looks at urianger and smiles ]

[divineth]

It cannot be confirmed for certain, but the arrangement of debris doth implicate it to be so.

[uiscebeatha]

Right. That makes sense. Thanks.

[simulacres]

In other words, they had to have broken out from the inside...were they in a hurry?

[divineth]

[After hearing this exchange, Urianger lets out a shaky sigh.

Desperation in his voice,]

If...our time doth become limited and we have not located our culrit, I implore that person, prithee, to at least reveal thyself so that we may know why thou hast done this.

[simulacres]

This is rich coming from me, but... at this point, I don't think we should be focusing on revenge. We just want to know who you are. Please.

[cleansheets]

[ Scoffing... ]

Then what is the purpose in wanting to know?

[simulacres]

Depends. There might be none for you, but it might mean something to someone else.

[divineth]

[I am unironically using this icon because Urianger is exactly this frustrated.]

Because G'raha Tia is a dear companion of mine from home and I must know why he would be put through such a harrowing death. Everything that he hath accomplished for the greater good of not only our world but others besides, and the unconditional kindness that he hath for his fellow man, should ne'er have been awarded with such utter brutality.

[cleansheets]

So can you truly say you merely want to know? That you would take a confession and nod it off, satisfied with your explanations?!

[divineth]

What wouldst thou prefer me to do? Repay blood with blood?

[He had a whole argument with Chara about this the other day, so.]

[cleansheets]

I would not prefer anything, but I think it's dishonest to pretend you'll all let the culprit confess and get away with it just like that.

That holier-than-thou act is going to collapse the moment it is faced with reality!

[ocenon]

[ sweating profusely ]

[simulacres]

[ BOY SHE GOT STABBED IN THE SHOULDER ]

[divineth]

[He flinches, and falls quiet for a moment. Takes a moment to consider it.

His voice lowers, defeated.]

...In all likelyhood, thou speakest true.
