WEEK 4 - 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, and this time Stan is as well - holding the Voting box in his hands, looking grim.

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: Kanji Tatsumi
CAMPERS REMAINING: 17

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

Lance... What happened?

[ This... This isn't real. It's just a bad dream. She'll wake up and be in bed and it'll be Friday morning and everything will be fine. No one will be dead or going to die and it'll be the day before her birthday. It'll be fine. ]

[He takes a deep breath.]

I saw Kanji sneaking around last night by the RVs. He was acting really suspicious so I followed him. It looked like he was trying to talk to the hunters and I thought.... [He hesitates.] I thought something stupid, alright?

Anyway, Kanji did something and the hunters shot at me. We both ran, but he saw my bayard [which, he will morph into a laser gun for show and tell.] and thought I took a shot at him. I- I tried to talk him down, but... he kept throwing those insane punches and if I didn't have my shield I'd have probably died.

I... [Fuck, he's actually tearing now.] ... I didn't want to kill him. It all happened too fast. I tried to use your powers to heal him after, but.... it was too late.

The tiara. But the glitter would've faded by the time we found him...

[ Oh no. Oh no. Because he's didn't want to use the crystal. Because then Kanji would have... Or he wasn't thinking... ]

...I'm sorry, Lance. If I'd still had the Moon Stick, maybe... You could have saved him.

[particlebarrier]

...It's not your fault, Usagi.

[He forces kind of a small smile.]

Sorry. Sorry this whole thing is just .. a mess.

[lovebun]

...I'll save everyone, Lance. Don't worry. Maybe not yet, but...

[ She will. ]

[particlebarrier]

[That makes his smile a little more genuine, and he reaches out to touch her shoulder.]

You're gonna give yourself a headache, if you take on all the responsibility yourself, Usagi. And you already have a lot of weight on your head. I know.

So just.. remember, the burden's not just on you.

[lovebun]

[ She just nods. ]

...I'll try.
