Week 7 - Trial(?)

[petoskeymods]

TRIAL(?)

On Saturday, everyone gathers around the campfire as usual. However, there are a few more people missing this time, as only seven of you appear for the trial.

Red and Archer are there, though, and after giving each other a look Red is the one who steps forward to speak.

"Some things happened last night, and as a result Cielo and Richie have died. Given the timing of their deaths, they satisfy the death requirement for the trial, and as such we will have no trial today.

Go back to your cabins and rest up. We will have a lot to do next week."

Red and Archer will be around to answer questions, but the remaining campers are otherwise free to go about their business and spend this weekend resting.

Cielo... Richie... what-

[Cielo helped save his arm. He still wears the bullet he pulled out of his arm around his neck. And Richie... Oh god Richie. After yesterday he shouldn't be surprised but-

-he sits, hard. Too shocked to respond.

...he does eventually go to Red. Not saying anything, just... Existing nearby]

[...So they're dead as well, then. All his plots, all his scheming, and they're just--

Mitsuru once again isn't very present today. It's possible to find him; sitting on the beach staring out at the lake, spinning the Ragnaruk in hand.

Other times, when it's not common eating hours but others may be in for a snack, he can be found grabbing food for himself - something easy to prepare, like a sandwich, or looking through whatever might have been left over in the fridge.

He's Around. It's just a matter of catching him.]

[And while the counselors are there, one particular zombie is suddenly marching up to Archer, looking absolutely furious.]

Two of them?! There's no way that was necessary, you...

[Right as he's closing in, maybe for a futile attempt at punching, he starts to trail off and slow down. However, he grinds his teeth (with a sound much more like stone grinding against stone) and manages to push out a few more words.]

A-at least tell everyone... who...

[Then he's gone for real, smiling once again like a good little camper.]

[This is bad. It's been bad since he woke up yesterday morning, and Chuuta knows it. Eddie's dead, and he doesn't have an alibi, so he's going to have to argue and fight his way out of an execution. Someone's going to die, and then next week it's going to happen again and again and again until there's no one left.

He sits on a log by the campfire and tries to get his thoughts in order. Someone's missing.]

[Richie isn't here.]

[Chuuta looks around but it's weird, ever since yesterday he hasn't really been able to see people's faces. He keeps missing things, and right now he can't really check to see if Richie isn't there.]

Are you sure?

[Drew's sure. The blue guy isn't here either.]

[And then Red stands and steps forward and opens her mouth and--

and that's all static too, it blurs and snaps and buzzes.]

What did she say? [He asks, quietly. He can feel something in the shared space of his link with Drew, a confusion and curiosity.]

[Richie's dead. Cielo's dead too.]

... oh. [That's weird. That shouldn't have happened, that's not how things were happening.

He walks over to Red, once the shouting's died down.]

But who did it?

[Chuuta?]

What happened on Thursday? Ichigo and Eddie died, so who killed them?
