TRIAL ONE

TRIAL

Once the various investigations have concluded, and the majority of the evidence has been dropped off with Makima and the ducks -- said ducks will scatter to start shepherding any travelers along to JojaMart, for some reason! Those already at JojaMart have a little less walking to do. Meantime, Makima has loaded the evidence onto the daycare wagon -- carefully packaged, because who wants a spill here -- and driven it off after the ducks.

There is, in fact, a back entrance to the JojaMart -- almost like a loading bay, but once it's opened and the wagon has been driven in, you can see that there's a small podium there along with a number of chairs and small tables. It looks like extra pieces used in either the Community Center or other areas around town may be stored here. The ceiling is tall and it's roomy, there's a scant few windows, but the white LED ceiling lighting and rather bare interior is only livened up by some larger spare whiteboards, extra shelving containing tools and knickknacks and a plant or two.

Once everyone is in -- Adela, Makima, a number of assistant ducks and the current inhabitants of the village -- the loading bay door is tugged closed by some enterprising assistants. There's a small door that probably leads into the front of JojaMart, but that's it. One of the ducks sets about serving tea in the slightly gloomy atmosphere.

You're welcome to examine the evidence in the wagon, discuss amongst yourselves, and figure out whodunnit in these first murders.

(( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (until 8 PM EST/5 PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. As this is scapegoat style, a correct vote is not necessary. Please remember to vote unless otherwise discussed with the mods, as that is our AC for this game. ))

It doesn't? I beg to differ, but I don't think arguing with you will make a difference.

cw: more suicidal ideation.........

[aurevoirx2]

I can't even die with Hinata, so nothing matters.

[revengier]

Tell that to the ones who cared about Keito. It matters to them.

And maybe Sampo, too. Were you the one responsible for that as well?

[aurevoirx2]

Keito-kun would understand me though.

[ He starts laughing a lot at the mention of Sampo though. ] That was fun to watch on the sidelines. Ehehe It was so... silly.

[revengier]

Would he really?

[ Kurapika is hesitant to believe Sora about that, but were their circumstances similar...? He supposes they'll never really know, not now. ]

The sidelines...?

[aurevoirx2]

Hmm. Did you know, Keito-kun sleepwalks? And has really... imaginative, vivid dreams, Kurapika-san? [ And he doesn't know what's with Sampo, but it was sure Something. ]

[revengier]

Not until just a few hours ago, no.

[ He was surprised by that shoe discussion... ]

Let me guess, his dreams are violent on top of that, aren't they?

[aurevoirx2]

He's the protagonist of his own dreams and all that. [ Have you all not talked to him... ]

It was something like out of a sunday morning cartoon, one ridiculous thing happening after another.

[revengier]

[ Ah. So the rake and all that... it makes sense. ]

...I see.

[ It's depressing, honestly, and he tries not to think about it too much. ]

Good luck tomorrow.

[ You know, whatever luck is involved in an execution. ]

[aurevoirx2]

I don't think you need luck in dying, but thank you.

And thanks for your lesson too, I'm sorry to miss the next one.

[revengier]

I'm sorry too.
