[ 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.

[Hey uhhhhh she's grabbing his elbow warningly. That warning is a wordless "hey if you kill him where he's standing we'll have no one to vote for again so."

But she also looks upset.]

[jettisons]

[He's going to yank his arm away from Prussia, but otherwise, he ignores her.]

[hypertoxic]

Honestly I think you should fuck him up.


[ /popcorn ]

[eisenundblut]

Shut the fuck up.

[It's a snarl. God Prussia cares so much for Bellamy and cares a lot for Akira and cares for Vriska uhhhh not at all.]

You're the last person on this fucking island who gets to make that kind of call.

[hypertoxic]

I didn't mean kill him, but get your panties in a bunch about it, sure. Man, you're super defensive of someone who's killed about as many people as I have!

[eisenundblut]

Do you think he'd have done anything like that if it wasn't a requirement of his role?

So maybe sit the fuck down and think about yourself and decide whether or not you have the right to decide what people deserve.

[hypertoxic]

Do you think I would have, Prussia? Of course we acted according to our roles. But Akira killed Raven. Bellamy has every right to be as angry as he is, so maybe just let them work it out instead of defending somebody who doesn't need your so-called help?

[eisenundblut]

And you guys killed Joshua!! What the fuck do you think that means to me?! Haah? AAAAH????

[hypertoxic]

Did ... I say you couldn't be mad? Of course you can be mad. You have every right to be mad if you want. I'm not telling you not to! I didn't kill Josh, but if his killer was here I'd say you could punch them in the face if you wanted. I'm all for equal opportunity punching.

[eisenundblut]

Who was it? Which one made that call, huh?

[She uhhhhh. Yeah.]

[reidentify]

Prussia.

[There's a warning note in Lief's voice.]

[eisenundblut]

[Sorry..... Lief..... she's not listening for once.]

[hypertoxic]

I'm not telling you that, Prussia. We're close to the end. Let's just ... finally put this game to rest, alright? Can we just fucking do that?

[eisenundblut]

"If his killer was here I'd say you could punch them in the face if you wanted." Isn't that what you said?! Isn't it?!! So don't fuckin' protect them now!! None of us want the roles we were given, but all of us had to play this shitty game!! So don't tell Bellamy he can punch Akira for doing what he had to do and tell me I can't punch the asshole who took Austria from me!!

[hypertoxic]

[ ... ]

I will tell you which asshole took Austria from you when we beat this game. [ Very chilly. ] There's no point to it now.

[eisenundblut]

Gut.

[It's very curt, and suddenly her voice is just as chilly as Vriska's. Because they're going to win, and Prussia will get her punches!!]

[hypertoxic]

[ ...

flaps a hand at her and walks away. ]

[zerotohiro]

Prussia, we all lost people we've cared about. [Just...pointing that out.]

[eisenundblut]

I COULD HAVE SAVED HER!! So don't try to say you get it, because it's my fault she's dead!!

[reidentify]

[...

Lief just shoots Hiro a pleading look. Please don't argue with Prussia on this. Please don't.]

[zerotohiro]

[..........]

Okay then...[Not quite what he was saying but there's no reasoning so never mind.]
