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!))

1/???

[bladeisme]

[For a moment, he doesn't comprehend what just happened.

His eyes are wide open, and he doesn't move.

He's like a statue, still and uncomprehending, staring at Red's fingers.]

Ah....Aaah....

2/2

[bladeisme]

[And then he throws his head back and screams, it sounding less like a human scream and more like an expression of pure pain, anger, and grief, all of his emotions running through his system

Kon was - Kon was -

'It's my turn to protect you.']

You fucking BITCH-

[The roar of rage coming from his throat doesn't stop, as he grabs his Zanpakuto off his back and begins to rush at red, hatred written on every inch of his face.]

[linearcrash]

[ Nine is too stunned to move until he hears that yelling. Then he realizes, oh shit. ]

Shit! Don't!

[ He's going to try to bodily tackle Ichigo to keep him from reaching Red. ]

[bladeisme]

[CONGRATS, YOU ARE NOW IN GONTA'S ARMS ALONG WITH HIM.]

[yunolikebugs]

[The saddest dogpile ever.

You might get tears on your shoulders. Gonta's about as shaken as you guys are.]

[linearcrash]

[ Welp. ]

The hell-

[ He nearly freaks out over it, but calms down once he realizes it's Gonta. Hi Gonta. ]

Thanks... [ Tears are fine. He'll deal. He's angry himself but there's no outlet. Just going to grab on to them both hard. ]

Shit. I'm going to kill them.

[fallbymyhands]

Kurosaki, no!

[Mitsuru yells out, but Nine seems to have the physical restraint part down]

[le_mat]

[Lenka is the only one that can stand up to Ichigo, and they could kill each other. Ren just reacts]

Makajamaon!

[Maybe, it's best he Forgets for awhile]

[bladeisme]

[Well, he basically just collapsed right into Gonta's arms, so thank you??]

[yunolikebugs]

ICHIGO!!!

[Without a second thought, Gonta rushes up to Ichigo and... Hugs him. Tightly.

This might not be much, but Gonta's one of the stronger kids in camp. The hug is pinning Ichigo's arms down, at least... And possibly got Nine caught in it too, which is probably fine.]

Ichigo... P-please... That's enough...

[bladeisme]

[The Makajamaon has made him forget how to run, so he struggles helplessly in Gonta's grip, thrashing but not getting anywhere.]

LET ME GO!

[He keeps thrashing, even occasionally biting gonta out of - a mixture of so many goddamn different emotions, all of them negative and swirling around. Hatred, Grief, Sorrow, Guilt...]

I have to - I have to-!!

[He screams, again - but this time there's a much sadder note to it, one of helplessless and frustration.]

She killed - she killed both of them! Natsume didn't even - Kon's - I -

[He stops struggling, suddenly thunking his head against Gonta's chest, breathing hard.]

...Again....Again, I couldn't....I couldn't protect anyone...Kon.....Kon...!

[And with a sob...

He begins to cry.]

[trashmouthtozier]

[the hug brigade is coming, Ichigo.]

[linearcrash]

[ Hi Richie. ]

[bladeisme]

[He needs it right now]

[itsagazebo]

[Yup. Eddie and Richie are damn good at hugs, especially ones to comfort after fear and loss. Hope you don't mind a group hug. Eddie wraps his arms around Ichigo, squeezing in next to Richie.]

[yunolikebugs]

G-Gonta... Can't protect everyone... Either...

[God, he knows this feeling. He felt this every time someone was killed, every time someone was brutally executed... Here, and in that damn school. And yet, as much as they tried, it never helped.]

Ichigo... Everyone did so much... We tried our best to save them!

[He's sobbing. He is genuinely sobbing. How many times has he been forced to do this now? Six? He once told someone he could never get used to investigating murders, but he knows how the system works.

And he feels horrible about it, so he'll cry too.]

[trashmouthtozier]

[THIS IS THE SADDEST HUG PILE and Richie does not have enough arms or shoulders for this but he's trying]

[itsagazebo]

[So's Eddie. He rests his head against Gonta and cries along with him.]

[yunolikebugs]

[Thanks, friends. He needs this. And so does everyone else here.]

[soylentprotag]

[Someone is in front of his charge.

There's a blur, and Lenka's fast enough that afterimages are only an afterthought, but he's standing there with his arms out wide and no expression on his face. He doesn't have his weapon up. Ichigo could always go through him, but he's not going to move unless it's needed to block.]

[backspacing]

Jaunt()

[By the time Ichigo runs at her, Red has flickered from sight.]


Bounce(Breach())

[And when she's visible again, her 'computer' is in her hands. She holds it up to shield herself from Ichigo's attack, and he will just bounce right off of it if he strikes her.]

[yunolikebugs]

[You can put the sword down, team dogpile took care of this.]
