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!))

[It's a paint bucket that has been used many times before, so there's plenty of dried paint on the outside.

There is a dent on the side of it, though. Like it got thrown at some point.]

[le_mat]

Oh shit?

[How tough is the can, would it have been easy to dent?]

[petoskeymods]

[It's a paint can. It dents as easily as a paint can would.]

[le_mat]

ANy of us could have done this if we through it hard enough. There was no paint on Usagi except her back, right?

[linearcrash]

Yeah, it was only on her back.

[le_mat]

So maybe she threw it at someone? If they caught her by surprise or attacked her. She... was seeing things too. That's why she was singing so much while painting- to drown them out.

[soylentprotag]

... We were all seeing things this week. If someone saw that as an attack, and then things escalated...

[It would have been really bad. Possibly worse than what happened last week.]

[le_mat]

That's what I'm afraid of... Or even might not have been both ways, if the killer thought Usagi was attacking them

[trashmouthtozier]

... And they could've seen HER as someone else, too. I was wondering about that.

This could just be one more fucked up accident, like Natsume, Kon, and Clarke...

So ... who here without an alibi thinks they saw someone that scared the shit out of them that night? Maybe that's what we should be asking. They might not have even realized what they did until after she was dead. That'd explain why they went to Red for help.

[le_mat]

Huh, maybe. But would it have lasted so long that they wouldn't be able to see her even after she died? I know mine have been short and easily broken once someone else talked to me. But I can't say if that's the case for everyone.

[trashmouthtozier]

If they killed her fast enough ... they might not have even had time to think about it, and then freaked out.

I mean ... if that happened to me? I'd be flipping my shit for sure.

[linearcrash]

Yeah, probably. What the hell...

[soylentprotag]

[What's the size and depth and shape and general appearance of the dent? Is there any way to tell what might have made it?]

[petoskeymods]

[It's bent like something would be bent if it was thrown or tossed on the ground. So a large, wide bend that isn't very deep.]
