TRIAL TWO

[mayorityvote]

TRIAL

Once again, the investigations conclude -- though they're more ponderous this time, burdened by the number and knowledge of additional deaths, and the awareness that there's limited means of dealing with them -- and once again the ducks gather everyone at the back of the JojaMart along with Makima's wagon, Adela's quiet, the pile of evidence.

Everyone trundles into the loading bay, which isn't all that much livelier than before, penned in by stacks of shelves and crating; but at least it's functional, overly well-lit and there's tea to while away the time discussing murders and mayhem.

As the loading bay door slides closed, you're left with a wagonful of evidence, a double handful of murders and the knowledge that time is ticking down -- for everyone.

(( OOC: Welcome to trial: the sequel! 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. ))

Death by a broken heart...

[revelate]

...Right. Just like Brokeback Mountain.

[What a depressing movie.]

[revengier]

Don't.

[linearcrash]

What's a brokeback mountain?

[revelate]

A movie you can watch in the theater. It was... educational.

[linearcrash]

Forget it. Educational isn't really my cup of tea, yo.

[faildeus]

[ ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ]

[revengier]

I don't know if "educational" is how I would categorize it.

[theotherww]

That's not the touching comparison you think it is.

[liberazoth]

Um, what's that...?

[revelate]

You can watch it on the theater if you're curious.

[No content warnings from Noah, sorry Vayne.]

[liberazoth]

What's it about?

[ this is happening, i guess. ]

[faildeus]

No.

[sorathvau]

[????]

[mirrari]

What are you talking about?

[illprotecteveryone]

...is it a legend of some kind?

[Tales do have a lot of strange happenings and anthropomorphization. Maybe one is about a mountain called Brokeback who suffered heartache]

[revelate]

[NICK STOP YOU'RE HURTING ME]

No. they call it a film, or a movie. It's a sort of fictional story. You can watch it in the theater if you're curious.

[illprotecteveryone]

Now I'm curious. I'll have to watch it.

[No, Colette, it's rated R. You must watch it with an accompanying parent or adult guardian because you're younger than 17.

Fortunately for her, she turns her head towards Zelos:]

Do you want to go watch Brokeback Mountain later?

[moonblades]

Wait...

[She doesn't quite think Noah has it, but Mio has to turn this over in her head a bit.]

That feeling that only one person is able to understand you and being feared and hated for it...

[pimpplan]

[ squints in symphonia ]

Did you think of something?

[theotherww]

That's what the movie is about, yes. Did Bibbi say something like that?

[...wait. The girls...could it be...]

[duckinghell]

[ a duck continues to stare blankly at the proceedings.

???

maybe someone can hear the question from its quiet quack...




brokeduck quacktain??? ]

[revelate]

Did you want to watch it? We can go together.

[He'd like to give it another watch — a full watch — to dissect it anyway.]

[provocatives]

[ngl my first thought upon seeing this was 'xenoblade chronicles 3 mentions brokeback mountain???' and i was like huh

Anyways, with a number of negative reactions into the mix, of course he's gotta ask.]

Well, sounds there's a intriguing story behind this one. Do tell.

[revelate]

[Oh, happily!]

It's a movie about two men who loved one another but couldn't be together. Societal expectations kept them apart, but they kept themselves apart for their own reasons as well. Their wives suffered the most for it.

[The wives should've gotten together, Noah thinks, and had a shot at being happy together. Oh well.]
