[ 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 [plurk.com profile] tikirobo.

[A nod.]

Anything else you think we should add for after six, Katara?
seaclipsed: (should i stay.)

... how vital is it for a Wickie to reach the end of the game?

[ she quickly adds, before someone jumps her. ]

I'm not saying we execute Lucina. But Magilou said that the Chiefs were implying we had to catch a killer this trial. But I asked them a few trials ago if just figuring out the identity of the killer still counted as much as voting for them, and Hal told me no.

[her expression doesn't waver]

So. . .? If you aren't saying we execute Lucina, then what are you saying?
seaclipsed: (when i'm close to you.)

[personal profile] seaclipsed 2017-09-09 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I... just said what I was saying? We need to find out specifically what all the rules in play are here to figure out how to proceed without running into another trap.

Hmph. Well, I'm not against that.

But I'm obviously against voting for Lucina.

[duh]
seaclipsed: (with my feelings on fire.)

[personal profile] seaclipsed 2017-09-09 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. I am pretty sure most people are against that, Magilou. Should I apologize for trying to be thorough, or...?

Of course! I accept apologies in the form of cute little cupcakes and gald donations! ☆

[. . . time for her to be a li'l shit again]
seaclipsed: (fallin' into you.)

[personal profile] seaclipsed 2017-09-09 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I can let you pet Momo.

[ the fuck is a gald. ]

Anyway, like I was saying, "I'm not saying we execute Lucina," meant that I was saying we shouldn't execute Lucina. But I, like Hiro, just didn't want to get hit by a surprise wall that we weren't aware was set up until the last minute. I didn't bring Momo this trial, but you can have fun with him after, if you want.

WOW KATARA TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL 1/2

[personal profile] spinatalltale 2017-09-09 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Curse your soft, fluffy creatures! I won't be tempted again!

. . . but I suppose you see the predicament, don't you?

If we really do have to catch a killer to end this, the only one available to us at this point is Lucina.

[thus, her knee-jerk reaction to the "is the Wickie necessary to end the game."]
seaclipsed: (when i'm close to you.)

[personal profile] seaclipsed 2017-09-09 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

[ her voice is quiet. ]

But even if we don't ask, we'll end up finding out after the execution either way. I would suggest rephrasing the question to just, "Do we have to execute someone who killed this week?" because in that case... it'll give us more options? Depending on the answer.
