[ 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.

It's already going to be hard enough seeing you die, Hiro.

[zerotohiro]

[....he's just going to shake his head and nod toward Akira and Magilou.]

If this is going to go the way we think it will, there's going to be bigger, harder problems. [A pause. And then he murmurs quietly.] Take care of the people left until we officially end the game. Promise?

[seaclipsed]

[ she follows his gaze, frowning. ]

I promise.

[zerotohiro]

Thank you. [He's just going to bundle up further in his hoodie.] For everything.

[seaclipsed]

I'm just sorry that I couldn't really help more, in the grand scheme of things. I should be thanking you.

[zerotohiro]

Whatever. [There's a small smile.] You did awesome with everything. You distributed the information I gave you, you didn't hold things to yourself...you helped theorize with me and I want to think we're friends, so. We're even. Don't worry about not helping more.

[seaclipsed]

...

We are friends, by the way. Just so that's clear.

[zerotohiro]

[A lopsided grin.]

Cool. Then I'll see you when you guys officially win this thing.
