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!))

[ Boa nods. ]

I didn't go talk to him because Red would have just yelled at us anyway, but he was there.

[le_mat]

So that confirms Eddie was doing what he claimed.

...you realize that puts only you and Chuuta with alibis we can't confirm.

[killtheanimals]

And the person who did this willingly asked for Red's help.

[linearcrash]

Shit.

[ He doesn't... want to think. ]

[finalguard]

Hard to not notice, isn't it?

[ Scowls. ]

[diesifkilled]

Eddie says he didn't see you. I know you said you didn't go talk to him, but were you actually avoiding being seen?

[finalguard]

He was playing with the damn raccoon. It's not exactly a masterly feat of stealth to walk by in a distance unnoticed.

[le_mat]

So it comes down to: did Chuuta really fail at clean up so badly, and Red let him go to bed like that after being asked to help.

Or did you frame him.

[killtheanimals]

[Hey guess who's actually paying attention now.]

Remember that the culprit is someone who would have willingly asked Red for help.

Boa, Richie, Eddie and I were split up on the night of a murder because of her. Any of us could have ended up dead thanks to that.

[trashmouthtozier]

He's got a point, Ren. I think Boa would rather gargle that paint himself then go ask Red for help.

[itsagazebo]

Yeah! Boa would've never asked her for help, especially after she threw us out in the cabin.

[le_mat]

Very true. That puts more on Chuuta. But how much someone likes to dislikes Red isn't enough to discount them. You can work with someone you hate to survive.

[trashmouthtozier]

It's more than that, though! Boa's ... he grew up in a competitive place. Asking someone for help with something like that would be like admitting he failed. And he'd never do that. Even if it meant he'd get caught.

[killtheanimals]

Agreed. He has his pride.

[itsagazebo]

[Eddie nods in agreement]

Yeah! He'd never let anyone else help him do something he couldn't do, especially someone like Red. He wouldn't want her to see him that way.

[velocirainbow]

Why de heck is he exempt jus' 'cause he don't like Red?

[killtheanimals]

[Because unlike Chuuta SOME PEOPLE HAVE PRIDE ig]

[finalguard]

Thank you for spelling out the obvious.

[itsagazebo]

[Eddie looks up]

You did? But... I didn't see you!

[... and why didn't you say so sooner?!]

[finalguard]

You were distracted by the raccoon, weren't you?

[itsagazebo]

So? You couldn't have at least said hi! Or waved or something?

[He's trying to help you!! Why were you avoiding him, Boa?! D: ]

[finalguard]

And shout over the whole field on a Thursday night to get your attention? Eddie, I was trying to not get seen or murdered.

[itsagazebo]

[His voice grows quiet with concern]

Boa... this doesn't look good. If I'd seen you I could've at least confirm where you were. But now... if no one saw you...

[finalguard]

I know... I know I fucked up....

[ More bad words! Yay! ]

[itsagazebo]

[Eddie will reach out to pull Boa into a hug]

You... you didn't do this, did you, Boa? You couldn't have!
