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!))

You're right; it doesn't. This feels like an invasion of privacy already.

[le_mat]

We have to do what we have to do. I like Red, and I think she would help us if she could. But at the end of the day she's our enemy.

[He starts deleting the personal pics]

Doesn't mean we have to play completely dirty, though.

[fallbymyhands]

Not by choice. You saw how she reacted when she was told to execute Kon and Sakasaki.

[she'll take Red's phone and slip it into her pocket]

. . . I understand her situation far more than I'd like to admit. If anything, I want to. . . free her.

[le_mat]

... me too.

[He fiddles with his own phone, frowning deeply]

But if there's one thing I've figured out today... it's that sometimes you have to prioritize. I want to save everyone, but if it came down to it I'd go for all of you over her. In a heartbeat.

[fallbymyhands]

[she doesn't know how that makes her feel]

And if her survival is necessary for our own?

[le_mat]

I think that's the only way any of us are getting out of this. Red is too powerful, and even if we managed to make a run for it-

[He stops, shaking his head]

-anyway. She doesn't deserve this. Her or Stan. I'm just... still getting used to trusting adults.

[fallbymyhands]

[ah. . . that earns him an inquiring look, but]

Adults can be selfish and cruel. I know-- what the consequences of trusting the wrong ones feels like.

[mmm]

But I don't believe Red to be selfish nor cruel, if that helps.

[le_mat]

I know that, here-

[He points to his head]

-but my guts still aren't fully on board yet. I'm... trying. It just rubs against what I'm used to.

[fallbymyhands]

I understand.

[and she does. old wounds-- wounds she doesn't know the source of just yet-- take a while to heal]

I hope one day you can overcome those feelings. But for now, there's no rush.

[le_mat]

[He smiles]

Thanks. Come on, we should get all this to the others.

[fallbymyhands]

Yes, we should. Thank you for your assistance, Amamiya.
