In the morning, the town comes back to life. Birds crow overhead, a snake nearby hisses, a lingering coyote dips behind a shop before disappearing into the wild. It's a frightening contrast to the stillness of yesterday but it doesn't mean it's over yet. After all, today is the trial.
The Sheriff stands on the porch of the Town Hall and brings his hand up to his mouth to let out a whistle. He'll thumb back to the Hall behind him and very clearly state --
"Trial time, folks. Get in here and figure out who did it."
And then he'll turn to leave before pausing and adding on,
"Bring a snack or somethin' too.
The Town Hall is set up more like a court house, a Judge's bench at the front but instead of at center, it's off to the side as if more for observation than participation. There's a table at the front of the room already holding a small box and a pad of papers and pen, for voting apparently. A side room containing only a metal gurney is next and today it's obvious why there's a gurney there at all with the corpse, resting right on top of it. Aside from that, there are rows for everyone to take a seat and it's only after everyone is inside and settled, that the doors close and the Sheriff speaks.
"Well, have at it. You've got till nine."
And then, he points to a clock on the wall that reads 12:00. Good luck.
Welcome to the trial post! Characters are free to discuss everything related to the trial here. They won't be let out of the room until 9PM when voting ends. Every character must vote and the voting post can be found here.

So our Bandits were especially bloodthirsty this week, then? On top of our two independent parties...
no subject
If that's true, I don't think it would be the first time. Remember our third week here? Three murders, three culprits.
I'd be surprised if two of those murders weren't committed by Bandits.
[and this mysterious independent third party that keeps murdering because WHY]

an uncomfortable thought.]
There was an independent killer when Riku was murdered, too. Do you think all three murders were done by the same person?
no subject
Now there's a comforting idea.

We only found Riku's head because someone cut it off. [AHHHHH.] We found Lust in pieces, and we found Ana in pieces, too. That definitely seems like a heck of a coincidence, doesn't it?

...[A shudder.] The first part of her we found had a really, really messy cut. Everything else we found was kind of the same way. Her torso was cut into slabs. Her head was in the fridge. [It's fine, Okabe, he sort of looks like he's ready to puke on the table, too.] If I had to guess? Hack job. They didn't seem to care much about where her organs went either.
no subject
Why would... What kind of sadistic... Were all the organs. Uh. [How does he ask this sort of thing? Furthermore, how does he ask it without having a panic attack?] Were all the organs present? Why the hell was her head in the fridge? That sounds like someone was trying to send some kind of... Some kind of message.

[Guess who never wants to eat ever again???] Damian said that they were most likely making a mockery of her since she cooked for people here.
no subject
Do we know who might have held a grudge against her? That's not something you just do, unless you have a good reason for it.
