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.

... Killing doesn't make someone less than.
[ She's still a good bean even if she was a Bandit. ]
no subject
I agree.
[that's sincere]
Since Chane was your friend, do you have any thoughts on who might have gone after her?
no subject
I know exactly who went after her. And because of it, they're not surviving this trial.
[ Except seriously Will, why are you like this. ]
no subject
Are you saying that because you intend to out this person during the trial?
Or because you intend to take their life yourself?
no subject
As if I have the right when Felix is right there? Please. I'm just going to out them to the public.
no subject
All right.
[she won't ask when he plans on doing the thing, but she'll be keeping an eye on him until then]
How do you know who her killer is?
no subject
I always do! I feel -- I feel everything everyone else feels. Guilt, fear, heartache, stress. You feel it, I feel it. It's -- It's -- It's bullshit is what it is and now I'm going to have Chane's killer killed for taking away the one person here who actually made sense in the way she thought.
no subject
[he may get the feeling that that's what she wanted to ask him about when she held back. that that's the reason why she inquired into his well being in the first place. EMOTION OVERLOAD]
. . .
That's a heavy burden for one to bear alone.
no subject
Then a derisive snort as -- ]
Yeah, well, that's why the good Dr. Lecter is here, isn't it?
no subject
Yes, I suppose that's true. Either way. . . your assistance will be greatly appreciated, when you choose to give it.
no subject
Also, GOD, Will wants so much alcohol right now but no. Gotta be cool. So instead he just shrugs and that's the end of that. ]
