WEEK 3 - TRIAL

[petoskeymods]

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. Red is seated there, but Stan isn't here...? The box saying 'VOTES' sits quietly on his seat.

It looks like you're here to find the killer.

And just like before, you know you'll be forced to vote before the night's over...

And condemn someone to a grisly fate.

VICTIM: Clarke Griffin
CAMPERS REMAINING: 21

((Remember that Everyone must vote and that Votes are due by 6pm EST!))

All right.

There was a trail of blood leading from the beach to the firepit, where you and Kon stated you were all evening. You wouldn't know where that came from, would you?

[bladeisme]

I don't know where it came from, you're right.

[...

His eyes flick to the side for a moment.]

[fallbymyhands]

[. . . oh, Ichigo. . .]

[sucks in a sharp breath, eyes slipping shut. she looks. . . conflicted, before she opens them again and continues]

. . . this would be far easier if you simply told us the truth, Kurosaki. You, Sakasaki, and Kon.

[bladeisme]

....You want the truth?

[He looks over at Kon. Kon, who is clearly panicked and upset, pale and - no, he won't think of that - and Natsume, who's also being badgered.

Why are older siblings born first?

He takes a deep breath, steeling himself.]

....I pushed Natsume off the slope.

[soulcandy]

[Kon is immediately shouting as soon as Ichigo says that.]

NO! Don't you dare!

[bladeisme]

Kon, just - be quiet!

[He stares resolutely at Mitsuru, not backing down.]

You tried your best, alright? You don't have to lie for me.

[soulcandy]

It's not-

[Kon tries to stand up and grab Ichigo, but he wobbles a bit before abruptly sitting back down. And then he'll just kick at Ichigo because apparently standing is too difficult at this point.]

It's not lying, you ass! You had nothing to do with this!

[trashmouthtozier]

[Richie's just ... staring. this is the third round. by now, he knows enough to tell that when people start yelling at each other ... something bad is coming. he scoots closer to Eddie on their bench]

[linearcrash]

[ Muttering curses and then ]

Hey, you have a limp, don't you.

[ it's cold, but there's concern, there? kind of? ]

[le_mat]

[He blinks]

Kon... are you okay? You were stiff yesterday but... are you hurt?

[fallbymyhands]

[TWINS. TWINS WHY]

. . . Kon. . .

[finalguard]

[ .... ]

Is this another 'take the fall for someone else' situation?

[bladeisme]

...

[He has nothing to say to that.]

[contrarianism]

.......

[ hey. he's going to walk right up to Ichigo and. ]

[ slap him in the face. ]

[GOD DAMN IT NATSUME

He takes the hit, looking right at him.]

...

[He says nothing.]

[contrarianism]

Why did you do IT.

[velocirainbow]

I wonder why de heck I don't believe dis.

[ ... Oh, right. ]

No offense, but confessin' from you real hard to believe, brudda.

[soylentprotag]

No, you didn't.

[Flat and immediate.]

[le_mat]

[Ren winces and looks away]

[particlebarrier]

Care to explain why then?

[bladeisme]

I didn't want us to all end up in that void.

[yep.]

something like that...it's a living death.

[particlebarrier]

Ichigo. Not for nothing, but from what you've told me about taking down gods and saving Soul Society, it sounds like you've been through a heck of a lot worse than what they were threatening us with this week.

[He's not angry exactly, though his brow is furrowed.]

Are you just saying this to save Kon's butt? I get it if you are, but at least be honest about it.

[fallbymyhands]

[oh boy]

[oh boy]

[for a moment, she's quiet, an icy aura settling over her expression. when she speaks, her words are clipped]

You, who admitted to being willing to falsely confess last week? Kurosaki. . .

[and then her expression softens, more akin to frustration than disappointment]

Please, don't do this.

[lovebun]

...Ichigo.

[ ...I'm not sure I can save anyone right now.

...Yeah.

...Me too, Tsukino. Me too ]

Is this because you want to protect someone?

[ She's staring right at him. Right through him to his core. But it's not harsh, or anything. ]
