WEEK 5 - 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. 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.

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: Usagi Tsukino
CAMPERS REMAINING: 15

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

All I'm saying is that we're making a lot of guesses here. Your guess is that he was hallucinating not having paint on himself, mine is that someone tried to frame him. Either one's equally possible.

[itsagazebo]

I never said he was hallucinating, Shirou. I'm just saying, why go to the trouble of trying to frame Chuuta?

[diesifkilled]

To avoid being caught, obviously. The killer didn't want to be executed, so they decided to scapegoat someone else. And it looks like they picked well, since you and Richie have been so eager to blame him.

[He sighs.]

Look, I'm not saying he's not a suspect, or that we should be ignoring the evidence. I just don't think all of this adds up.

[itsagazebo]

Hey, if you've got any other theories I'm all ears.

[diesifkilled]

You and Boa were both alone that night. Either of you could have done it.

[itsagazebo]

I was friends with Usagi, I'd never fucking kill her! And Boa wouldn't have asked Red for help with shit.

[diesifkilled]

Character evidence doesn't mean anything at these trials. If it did, we wouldn't have caught any of the previous killers.

[itsagazebo]

So what kinda evidence do you want, huh?

[He crosses his arms, staring Shirou down]

[diesifkilled]

Definitive evidence. Something more than just jumping to conclusions.

[itsagazebo]

And you accusing me and Boa is what? What fucking definitive evidence do you have that we did it?

[diesifkilled]

I don't have any, which is why I'm not actually accusing you. All I've said is that you could have done it, just like Chuuta could have.

[itsagazebo]

Yeah, and I said if he's innocent, fine, but there's a lot of fucking evidence that say she's not.

[diesifkilled]

Then how about we actually look at the evidence and think about this logically instead of just arguing? We're wasting time with this anyway.

[trashmouthtozier]

So then who would've wanted us to think it was him badly enough to pull shit like this?

[diesifkilled]

The killer went to Red for help, so we already know they were trying to cover their tracks. Wouldn't framing an easy scapegoat be a logical next step? As for why Chuuta, well... a lot of people have been mad at him recently, haven't they?

[itsagazebo]

Yeah...

[Eds goes quiet, realizing that he's on that shortlist of smol people...]

[trashmouthtozier]

[Richie trusts Eddie and Boa to hold their own, but he's ... keeping an ear on this conversation. Shirou has a point? but he knows he's wrong about Eddie, and most likely Boa, too]
