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. ))

Shinobu? Are you sure you're okay?

[hyperbloom]

What? Do I seem off...?

[ Her words seem a little stiff and awkward, though, like she's stifling a yawn. ]

[faildeus]

You look exceptionally tired.

[ a pause. ]

Did you have anything before coming here?

[hyperbloom]

Burgers...the others in the Tower can confirm it. Burgers and...

[ She closes her eyes. ]

Water.

[faildeus]

[ oh no. ]

Who gave you that water?

[pimpplan]

[ uh oh gamers!!!! ]

Who did you say you were all with last night, again?

[driftingknight]

Myself, Kurapika-san, and Eisuke-san. But that would mean...

[enkiboo]

...Water? What did it look like?

[hyperbloom]

I don't know. I couldn't tell.

[revelate]

...You couldn't tell? Could you not see it?

[hyperbloom]

No. I couldn't.

[revelate]

You should've said so sooner!

[COCOOOOOO]

What happened to your vision?

[linearcrash]

Huh? Did you drink from that thermos? [ the thing he was tempted to try ]

[faildeus]

Was it in a thermos?

1/???

[hyperbloom]

[ ... ]

[hyperbloom]

[hyperbloom]

[ That's it, then. It's not like she would've let someone else take the fall for this, anyway. ]

done! :D

[hyperbloom]

[ She just needed the courage to come forth. ]

I didn't seek anyone out last night. I looked for help, knowing something was wrong.

He struck first.

[revelate]

If you hadn't said anything...!

[...Then someone else would have taken the fall. Noah cuts himself off, cursing beneath his breath. It's over.]

[driftingknight]

Shinobu-san...

[HE DOES NOT WANT TO BELIEVE THIS???]

[faildeus]

And in this place, it doesn't matter if it's self-defense or not.

[ .... ]

Let's keep looking for Amy and Bibi's killer. Someone should monitor you in the meantime.

[enkiboo]

Dongrang, you mean?

[theotherww]

[SEE. HE AND ERIKA WERE RIGHT TO DISTRUST DONGRANG THE WHOLE TIME.]

...then how did you manage to move him?

[Walter she's DYING--]

[linearcrash]

[ uh ]

Hey, I'm really glad I didn't try it now.

[driftingknight]

... yes, you do. Are you feeling all right?
