[ WEEK FIVE – TRIAL ]

TRIAL

In the morning, the beach comes back to life. Birds are back to cawing, the fish splash in the ocean, and insects buzz cheerfully from the jungle. Crabs skitter across the sand and seagulls fight over food (possibly yours). It's a frightening contrast to the stillness of yesterday but it doesn't mean it's over yet. After all, today is the trial. The Chief stands at the front of the longhouse and brings his hand up to his mouth to let out a whistle. He'll thumb back to the hut-like building behind him and very clearly state -- "Trial time, everyone. Get in here and figure out who did it." And then he'll turn to head in. The other Chief helpfully pipes up with a, "Make sure to bring a snack, and maybe some water. Hydration is key to catching murderers!" The longhouse is set up like a meeting hall, with long benches on each wall, facing each other. There's a table at the front of the room already holding a small box and a pad of papers and pen, for voting apparently. Aside from that, the room is empty. It’s only when everyone has taken a seat that the doors close and the Chief speaks. "Well, have at it. You've got till nine." And then, he points to a clock on the wall that reads 12:00. Good luck. Welcome to the trial post! Characters are free to discuss everything related to the trial here. They won't be let out of the room until 9PM when voting ends. Every character must vote and the voting post can be found here. If there are any questions, please shoot a message to this journal or to tikirobo.

And it's like you said, we're here for a while. We can still concentrate on everything else more. I agree we should probably try to figure out what ending we're going to get, and all of that, foremost. But...

[ who the fuck killed her friends :T ]

[zerotohiro]

We can figure out a couple of things while we're at it. It wouldn't hurt to know where everybody was on Thursday night and where everyone ended up on Friday morning. Not alibis. Just locations.

[seaclipsed]

That's true, since it seems like people were definitely not in their huts.

[zerotohiro]

And we know that people were talking to each other on Thursday and passing around information. You and I talked on Thursday morning and you remember what I told you. Who knows what other people did?

[ she nods her head. ]

I never did get to talk to Jinah, by the way. But it seems like...

[He shakes his head.]

It's okay. I knew you would do your best to try and that still counts. So...thank you, Katara.
