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.

Hey. Why did you kill people? Out of some sense of duty to "save everyone," right?

[quiet. calm. the eye before the storm, probably. but Vriska won't be the target for her anger and desperation. and because she made a promise, she says, coolly. evenly]
I still don't know what you're talking about.

I said I was going to tear this game apart. But I was lying to you about that. My real promise was to win. And if we do everything right, we will.
You will see him again. We'll see all of them again. Stay strong.

And is this the route to victory? Condemning the Hangman?

You're saying that to someone who's already condemned to die? Yeah. I am. It's time he and I both paid for our crimes.

You know. . .
I don't really care much about "justice."
[she says blandly, a small hint of exhaustion appearing in her words]
But I've never lied about the one thing that I am, not from the moment I arrived here-- selfish.

Vriska's smile turns a little more genuine. ]
We all are. You just might be the only person besides Jinah I've heard admit it.
