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.

She trusted you.
[His voice breaks just for a second, and just like that, all the rage and helplessness from the past few weeks bubbles up. There's no way he's not hitting Akira again.]

yeah she's immediately going over to him and taking one of his hands in both of hers and tugging him close. ]

Let go of me.

[Look Prussia doesn't like Vriska but she likes Akira and she likes Bellamy so she's grabbing his other hand.]
We will. We don't have a choice, so we're going to move forward.
no subject
Fine.

[It looks like there's a line forming for Akira, so Prussia will speak with him later. Instead she's going to try to just hold Bellamy's hand, squeezing tightly. Look she's also in distress okay. She's just hiding it a little better.
Other than yelling at Vriska and Hiro so like. Yeah.]
Danke.

[ Vriska hugs his arm, staring up at him furiously. ]
Let it fucking go, Bellamy! You think I'm not pissed off? You think I'm not frustrated as fuck? But I'm not going to let you fuck it up this late! If we have any chance, I'm not letting you ruin it! Not now!

[This might be the first time he's ever raised his voice with her.]

[ She shoves him, tears pooling in her eyes, and storms off. ]

I would have taken my own life before hers if it was an option.
