[ 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.

Not exactly. I know less than you do, I think. But all I know is that Fie only told a few people this week that she was a Siren, we have three bodies on our hands, and we don't know some other factors that might've happened on Thursday night. I know everybody wants to run right into figuring out the game's ending, but I don't think we should totally ignore everything else either.

Very well. I would prefer we not spend our last chance on "Two Truths, One Lie" on determining who took their lives, however, unless we truly believe it to be the most important thing.

I didn't say we should, no. But we should definitely think really hard on what we're using two truths and a lie for.

I'm saying we should try with the hours we have left. That's all.
