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 ))

A Proposal

[safetycheck]

[ Well. Looks like no one's coming forth. Lili is forever going to think this is pathetic and cowardly of them but whatever. If no one has to die, if nothing will happen because of their votes?

She looks at Richard's hand on his sword, and the arguments breaking out. God, she's so tired. This is getting to be too much for her. She's going to be upset that she couldn't figure out who did this, but G'raha would not want them to be stuck on this forever.

They have to move forward, and someone has to step up. ]

Everyone, listen up! I have confirmed with Ish that voting is mandatory to end the carnival, and as we've all heard, there is no execution tomorrow. Nothing will happen directly because of the voting system, but given what happened to Sousuke, Chara and I on Wednesday, it's possible we may have more immediately pressing things to worry about.

Now. I did not kill Sariel or G'raha, nor did I have anything to do with their deaths – if, for some ungodly reason, I have been under suspicion. However, if we need someone to vote for...

Cast your votes for me. I will not take it personally. If it is personal for some reason, frankly, I don't really care.

[ help

A deep breath, then: ]

Let's get out of here.

[fourtuity]

I'm not doing that.

[ that's it, that's her response. ]

[remainsilent]

No.

[cleansheets]

So you're just giving up on thinking it through for yourselves?

[ 'Awawawa we have to know for our precious little souls, but we won't cast stones or think about it harder' - Angelo thinks you're all repulsive, thanks for asking. ]

[divineth]

[sir we have 20 minutes]

[safetycheck]

There are twenty minutes left. Would you like us to vote for you instead?

[coldseep]

... It's what happened with Siffrin.

( he loves his primroses and he gets what andrew was trying to do BUT )

[uiscebeatha]

We have no time. Death isn't an automatic consequence. I'd rather the culprit at least have some sort of sense of responsibility for taking two lives.

I don't like Lili offering herself up like this, either.

[uiscebeatha]

[ What, no, this wasn't— ]

Lili?

[stygiomedusa]

[everyone voting for lili seems even more unlikely than the culprit confessing.......]

[oncefallen]

Miss Lili...

[He hates this. He hates all of this.]

[littlegentleman]

Even if nothing will happen...why does it have to be you?

[The idea of putting her name down hurts.]

[safetycheck]

You're free to vote for someone else, Junior.

[perfectpower]

I'm gonna vote following my own heart, but your consideration is noted.

[safetycheck]

That works, too.

[divineth]

I refuse to write thy name, Lili.

[Even if it doesn't mean anything.]

[coldseep]

( He doesn't feel good about this, )

... There might not be an execution, but something else might happen. I don't know. ( Maybe he's just stressed and worried and he's lost enough!! ) I... don't want to risk you to that fate.

[simulacres]

If there's any concern with voting for Lili, then vote for me instead. At least I was involved in a murder, even if it wasn't this one.

[ocenon]

Ayaka.

[the_obedient_servant]

Wouldn't we vote for your dog instead?

[the_obedient_servant]

I voted for Hwylryn because I think he should die.

[coldseep]

( hold on

this gets the first smile out of him in A While )

... I really wish I had the chance to play with you, without us being confined to these lesser forms.

[uiscebeatha]

[ what the fuck!!!! that kill belongs to someone else that isn't here!!! ]

[baebladie]

[ Blade doesn't say anything.

From the look on his face, there's obvious disagreement; he'll even shake his head.

But, his gaze is cold at the proceedings. Not at her; just distant. ]

[safetycheck]

[ That's fair. G'raha (and Sariel) may be disappointed in her by the end of this, but she's made her choices.

It is what it is. ]
