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.

Part of it, anyway.

[doesn't let go of his hand. IMAGINE THAT!!]
I'm beginning to suspect this game may stretch on for another week if we don't vote for an actual killer today.

[thanks for holding his hand though, that helps a little.]

[she isn't going to say what she thinks this shitty situation will mean for her and Lucina, specifically, because they haven't crossed that bridge yet]
[so she stays quiet for now, standing close, but not too close that people will think anything weird about them geez]
no subject
but whatever.
when they get to that bridge, akira will take the steps to protect them both if it's really necessary. so there's that? one thing at a time.]
