WEEK 1 - TRIAL
It takes a full day after finding the body, but on Saturday, the counselors call you all to the campfire, the bonfire already roaring away as everyone finds their seats. Stan and Red are seated there, with Stan holding a box saying 'VOTES' written on it.
It looks like you're here to find the killer, but...do any of you even really want to?
Regardless, it looks like you'll be forced to vote before the night's over...
CAMPERS REMAINING: 27
no subject
[He doesn't consider himself especially good at protecting people. There's still a long way to go for that.]
...I guess I really shouldn't be telling you what to do with your own life when I'm not any better.
[Because yes, it's messed up, and he knows it. He just doesn't care very much about how messed up it might be.]
no subject
In terms of having other people do it, though... It's complicated.]
I told you I understood. [because he did, a little too much] There are different ways of protecting people, Shirou.
I can't really tell you what to do, either-- [so wry, they're a pair of disasters help them] --but I think you have better ways to do it.
no subject
[The sarcasm slips out before he can stop it. The hypocrisy is just too much to bear.]
Sounds reasonable.
no subject
[He still thinks it's a better choice to vote for him, when it comes down to it. Both choices are shitty. But he's prepared enough that he feels like... it should make it easier for people. He is not entirely good at reading the room, himself.]
no subject
[Because Lenka was right about this being a good group. If there's one thing Shirou has taken away from this trial, it's that no one's going to accept a sacrifice like that. He's not entirely happy about that fact, but that doesn't change how unavoidable it is.]
We're both going to have to keep living on with this situation.
no subject
[And it's hard to say that, hard to admit that this is somewhere he's been before, enough that he can already see what steps he would have to take if -- if things don't go as he'd hoped. He talks a big game about protecting people, but he's failed enough times; has already failed here enough times that he's bracing himself.
He doesn't want to step over more corpses, though. He really doesn't.]
no subject
[Which obviously isn't going to happen. They're going to watch Lilith get the majority vote, and then they'll almost certainly watch her die. No one will be saved today. And next week, it'll probably happen all over again.
It's just like ten years ago. He hasn't progressed even a single step since then.]
no subject
[It's the reason he offered: it's his last resort, because Lenka did have a duty to at least see survival through to where he can't anymore -- to those back home, those who have taught him how to live the way he does and to Soma, despite their broken promises. He's been grasping at straws all this week despite everything.
But here he is. Here they are. There are many more things he should have done, in retrospect, but no world is merciful enough to wait for that. And no one will be coming to save them. He won't pray for that.]
no subject
[It's not that unreasonable, is it? If there's nothing else you can do, it makes sense to use up your life as the final option.
At least it does if you don't consider your life to have any value.
He understands how Lenka feels because it's exactly what he feels as well, but it's irritating. It means being forced to view his own way of thinking from the outside, all its flaws and contradictions right there for anyone to see. It's really irritating.]
