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.

God. I've been making plans to die for two weeks, and this is how it finally happens. Incredible. Anyway, I want Bellamy to kill me. He already knows. I don't really feel like talking to anybody right now, so, you know, I'm probably just going to go with Cream Soda. Hiro, you can come with me, but don't feel like you have to.

Open offer, or a decision I need to make right now?

Somewhat impulsively she'll tug him into a quick hug.
And then back off, ruffles his hair, and make shooing motions. ]
It's fine. [ a little. embarrassed by what she just did. ] Go ahead.

...oh.
He's not entirely sure what to do with that and even when she pulls back he just stares at her quietly before he immediately turns so she can't see his face.]
I'll catch up. [It's repeated, but it's quick and low like he doesn't want to talk anymore. It's all that's said before he waves a hand over his shoulder and goes off to cast a vote and leave. Thanks, Vriska.]

Bellamy, why you gotta do this to her. She was trying to leave so she wouldn't have to let her emotions show. The instant he pulls her into his arms she cracks, but she'll bury her face in his chest and pretend she's not crying. ]

Hey, it's okay. It's almost over.

[He tries to keep his voice steady, but doesn't quite manage it.]
And awesome, just like you wanted.
