[ 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.

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]

[ glances at him sharply ]

... meaning Bellamy isn't the only person remaining who would have known to go after Fie.

[seaclipsed]

I told Zuko and Inuyasha, too.

[ if we're going for a full headcount ]

[hypertoxic]

[ she is so tired when she says: ]

Thank you, Katara. Honestly, that accounts for most of the people in this room, so Bellamy ain't got shit.

[eisenundblut]

Ja, genau. So tell Bellamy to stop tryin' to act like some kinda martyr.

[rightfully]

[ Pleadingly, ]

Vriska—

[ Unfortunately, that's all Lucina can say before the rules clamp down on her again, muting her.

She doesn't want this! Save Bellamy 2k17. ]

[hypertoxic]

[ ... ]

I know, [ she says, and the barely held-in pain in her expression probably says enough for her. On this, they feel the same. ] I won't let him.

[zerotohiro]

Pretty much. And I think Fie knew that, too. [She basically implied she might not be around much longer which was unfortunate.]

I still think it's more important to know who knew about Fie being a Siren, specifically, if we're trying to confirm her killer. Doesn't matter if you know the ending. It's only going to help if you knew who to go after.

[hypertoxic]

... thank you, Hiro, [ she says very softly.

Then she quickly masters herself and gets back on track. ]

I agree with you. Let's find out who specifically knew about Fie. Want me to ask? They'll listen if I yell.

[zerotohiro]

It's worth a shot. We need to keep things as on-track as possible and decide what to do from there.
