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!))

And what if killing someone was already a failure. Killing a girl that didn't even fight back when she could have is already a low act.

[killtheanimals]

You may have a very different idea of a low act from others here, Amamiya.

[velocirainbow]

Or you jus' somebody dat ain't got no care for de life of de innocent. But we already know you ain't care about anybody but yourself, huh?

[killtheanimals]

[...]

Think of me as you like.

[velocirainbow]

[ He sighs. ]

... 'M sorry. I jus'... I jus' want her murderer caught. She ain't never hurt nobody.

[finalguard]

Cielo. We're talking about me and Chuuta, not Mitsuru.

[velocirainbow]

[ ... Funny how you jump to his defense so fast. ]

An' Usagi's dead. So what about her? What about her murderer? What about all de people dat care about her?!

[ He just looks desperate, at this point. ]

We jus' gwon see some... some fake version of her next week, but dat ain't gwon be her anymore! Look, if you didn't do it, please, jus' tell de truth! But... if you did... p-please... jus' tell us what happened... maybe you hallucinatin', like de rest of us... I been seein' my dead comrades all over. It ain't dat far-fetched, right...?

Somebody here killed moon sista ain't we ain't neva gwon hear her pretty music box again, or see her pretty smile... how would you feel if Mitsuru died?

[soylentprotag]

Cielo.

[It's not a snap, but it is stern. Don't start yelling at the bitties when they're already yelling, dude, it will end badly.]

We're here to find out the truth about Usagi's murder. Not to do this. Remember that.

[velocirainbow]

[ Just. Gonna be over here crying, don't mind him. ]

[trashmouthtozier]

He's a jerk, sure, but I wouldn't go that far. He was going to help protect us before Red split us up.

Cielo ... I know you're super pissed, but ... Mitsuru's not a suspect.

[velocirainbow]

He doesn't care about her at all!

[ Oops he's totally crying. ]

Ain't... ain't none'a dem care about her...

[le_mat]

[Ren growls and punches his fist into his knee]

Goddamn it, do you think I WANT it to be Boa?! If not for Boa I would be dead from that godamned moose the first day here! But you all can't call me out on being biased for Chuuta and then turn around and do the same thing for Boa! If we don't figure this out it's gonna be another split vote- and I don't want another Kon and Natsume-!

[linearcrash]

[ That kind of snaps him out. And then with a twist of his gut... ]

Then just vote for me. [ Sorry Ichigo... ]

[trashmouthtozier]

NINE, YOU ASSHOLE, DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE.

[diesifkilled]

[OH GDIT]

Shut up, Nine. We're voting for the actual killer here.

[le_mat]

Fuck you, Nine. Like hell we're allowing that.

[finalguard]

What the hell are you talking about?!

[ He knew this could happen, he knew, and still... ]

[itsagazebo]

[Eddie's going to just walk over and shove Nine]

DON'T BE A FUCKING IDIOT, NINE!

[soylentprotag]

... Nine. Don't.

[His voice is small but maybe it reaches. Kon and Natsume and Shirou and now Nine, and it's impossible to hold everyone together like this, maybe. No matter how you try, many of them are in too many pieces to be put together again.

But he can't let everything happen this way. He has to do something.]

[velocirainbow]

Usagi wouldn't have wanted dat. I ain't gwon vote, if dat's de case. Even if it means a split vote.

[ He doesn't care. ]

[killtheanimals]

...

Is that really what you want?

[bladeisme]

[Ichigo says nothing, but it's clear from his face that he's disappointed.

Then he suddenly flash-steps forward and grabs Nine's wrist, flipping him bodily over onto the ground in an effortless - and hard karate throw.]

Like hell.

[killtheanimals]

Then we make a decision and we don't split the vote.

We have evidence, but that's clearly not enough. So, listen to me when I say that this kind of behavior is strange for Boa, especially on that night.

[trashmouthtozier]

Especially? What do you mean by that?

[bladeisme]

[....]

.....Are you sure about that?
