WEEK 5; TRIAL

TRIAL



Three dead, one vote. This might be a pit of a pickle, huh? Perhaps appropriately, the kittybots are serving pickles of all flavors today, along with food that might remind you of your childhood like ants on a log, gummy worm sundaes and adorable toast in sweet and savory profiles. To drink, are their best attempts at replicating the DD refreshers with a whole array of silly straws.

Off to the side in a booth of their own are the bodies as well as attendant kittybots (well two bodies and one arm); simply request which body you'd like to look at and the kitty bots will direct you appropriately, given the number of arms floating around. The kittybots continue to do their best.

(( OOC: Welcome to your third trial! You'll have 7 hours (8PM EST/5PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. Since this is scapegoat style, finding the correct killer is not mandatory!

Please remember to vote before then unless you've spoken to a mod, as votes are our stand-in for AC. ))

[He shakes his head.]

...I'm sorry. I don't know.

I remember waking up and leaving the cabana. And I remember... coming to, like this.

I don't remember anything else.

[It seems awfully convenient he wouldn't remember anything.]

Why the hell did you leave, then?

[...]

Was... was Nona still there when you left? Do you really not have any clue what happened?!

[...]

I knew that, if I was awake, it was probably for a reason. And I didn't want people in the cabana to get hurt.

So I left. I just... don't remember where I ended up. And I don't remember who was missing.

[ Lacus hesitates for a moment and then... ]

... I know why Nona might have left the cabana that night.

...Eh?

[Wait what]

Nona...

[ Lacus looks at her feet for a moment before making this announcement. ]

Nona was dying. She told me two weeks ago that she only had a week left, maybe two. Her birthday party last night... I can't be sure, but I think it was her farewell party at the same time.

She wouldn't have wanted us to wake up to her corpse. She was kind.

If it truly was Alice, she killed a dead girl walking.

Nona may have built the snowman herself. She did have a nailbat.

[ He's quiet, as Lacus speaks. Then: ]

...She wanted us to be with her at her final party. I...

[ He puts a hand on his forehead. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. ]

I understand. Thank you, for sharing that.

[He goes complete silent at that. So the party, the talks... she'd known?

...

He doesn't say anything. But he just slowly, quietly nods his understanding, as his eyes start to well with tears.]

So you're fine sparing us but not anybody else?

[He feels guilty, for a moment, because - he's felt what Beel's hunger is like firsthand, now, but...

It's a lot to take in.]


Why didn't you say this earlier?
gluttoning: (090 [d])

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-06-17 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...

I was scared.

I thought if I could make sense of it, if people could help figure things out so I might remember something, then maybe I...

...

[His hand buries into his shirt.]

Maybe I'd help somebody get some peace. I couldn't give them any answers like this. But...

...

But what? Now you've just - painted a target on your back, giving people plenty of people to vote for you.

[...]

Whatever. It doesn't matter.

[He doesn't answer, which may as well be an answer in itself.

Sorry, Haru.]
