[ WEEK FIVE – TRIAL ]

[chiefexe]

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.

Maybe it wasn't. Think it through. Who else would it be?

[eisenundblut]

It wasn't me! If I'd have killed her, I wouldn't have taken a nap at the volcano. That'd be a stupid alibi.

[She's still draped on his shoulders.]

[reidentify]

[...]

Someone else who knew about the ending where all Sirens die.

[jettisons]

[He just raises his eyebrows. Come on, Lief.]

[eisenundblut]

...

[She yanks on Bellamy's hair from her spot on his shoulders. Hard.]

It wasn't you, don't distract everybody.

[jettisons]

[He swats her hand away!]

Enough.

[reidentify]

[He doesn't want to say it??]

... And aside from Lucina and Vriska, that would be Magilou, me... and you.

[jettisons]

That narrows it down. This isn't hard, Lief.

[hypertoxic]

[ ... ]

Really, Bellamy.

[jettisons]

[He just shrugs!]

[reidentify]

[... Does he really have to say it?]

[eisenundblut]

[She pulls his hair again!!!!!]

I already know it wasn't you! Isn't leading people like this breaking the confession rule??

[hypertoxic]

I'm starting to wonder just how many people knew that. Fie and I both did, Lucina did, Bellamy did. Was there anyone else?

[eisenundblut]

Oh, me!

[What does admitting this gain her.]

[hypertoxic]

You know, I'm really not in the mood for you to act like an idiot, too.

[eisenundblut]

You asked if there was anyone else. If you didn't want someone awesome like me to answer, don't ask the question!!

[zerotohiro]

[And from Vriska's side still:]

Fie told me and I told Katara. And when I talked to Magilou and Akira they already knew, too. So. [A shrug.]

[hypertoxic]

Just in case anyone thinks they're funny, it wasn't me. And look, I can say that out loud! So you know I'm actually telling the truth.

[rightfully]

GLOWERING ]

[jettisons]

[He is pointedly not looking at her, oops.]

[seaclipsed]

[ just gonna stare at him ]

[jettisons]

[And he's just going to ignore her!]

[seaclipsed]

[ wow rude?? she'll walk over to him. ]

Can I ask you a question?

[jettisons]

[He crosses his arms.]

Sure.

[seaclipsed]

Why were you outside on Thursday night?
