TRIAL TWO

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. ))

No. I didn't kill Amy or Bibi, nor did I make an attempt on Beelzebub's life. I didn't even know any of that happened until we all woke up.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

Alright. I believe you. Let's find their killer, then. I don't want to vote for you.

[ She gives Healy a look.

It's one of deep sadness.

Do what you have to, Jack. It'll be okay.

You think so? You'll die. You're okay with that?

No. Realistically, I'm not okay with it.

But...if you can't catch the other killer, there's no other choice.

Then we catch the other killer. We've got some time. We solved it last week, didn't we?

[He's not good at this "optimism" thing, though.]

Wouldn't be right for you to go down for this.

...

[ He's right. She won't try to deny it. She won't throw a pity party for herself. She'll stand here on her own two feet and let everyone make their own decisions, like she made hers last night. ]

Alright. Let's keep at it, then. We'll see what happens.

[He nods and gives her a pat on the shoulder. They will tiredly do their best.]

It appears we have knowledge of two now.

[ Points to this. ]
