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. ))

Thanks for making this easier.

[ She doesn't want to die, don't get her wrong, but: ]

You're...you're just going to ask people for that?

[sorathvau]

Shouldn't you be happy?

[hyperbloom]

No, I'm not!

[ Beelzebub, please?? ]

I don't want to die, but you -- you shouldn't just...

[ ... ]

Never mind. If that's what you want, then I can't stop you. I'll leave this up to everyone else to decide.

[ They've both made their choices today. ]

[linearcrash]

Hey, are you sure? [ All of this sucks tbh ]

[sorathvau]

As I've ever been.

[linearcrash]

[ There's a pause before he nods. ] Make it up to them on the other side, yo.

[pimpplan]

That's it? You're just going to throw in the towel like that?

[sorathvau]

It's something I've been trying to do for a long time.

suicide ideation cw

[pimpplan]

You mean you actually want this to happen?

[ he's a little agitated by this. ]

Then why not just say something sooner, even if it wasn't you?

[revelate]

[if one more person says they don't want to live noah is going full bozo mode i swear to god]

[enkiboo]

[ the amount of laughs i just had ]

[liberazoth]

... You didn't want to do it.

[ ... ]

But ... that's what you really want now, right?

[sorathvau]

[He nods.]

[liberazoth]

[ ...

he just takes a shaky, shuddering breath. ]

I guess... I hope you see them again. [ though they probably won't be happy, after all that. ] I hope you don't have to worry about hurting them, or anyone else, anymore.

I wish we could do more.

[revengier]

Is that what you really want?

[sorathvau]

[Very much so.]

[driftingknight]

Beelzebub-san...

[But he also isn't going to voice any protest if that is what he truly wants.]

[moonblades]

[Vaguely shaking.]

I can't...accept that. I can't -

[For him. For Shinobu. Either of them, she really can't.]

[sorathvau]

Don't you think their killer deserves to be punished?

[moonblades]

I think what we all deserve is to be freed from this! Not for you to be bound by some curse and all of us sitting ducks here!
