WEEK 5; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

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. ))

[ oh he's had it. ]

Lacus. Stop talking.

[idologue]

Or he'll eat me? Or... will you?

[butcherspice]

Oi. Lacus. We oughta cut out.

[He doesn't trust any of these people not to try and beat the shit out of her even if she's a girl.

Fuck, this is definitely how people must feel when they have to stop him, huh?]

1/2

[idologue]

[ And that's what cuts her out of it. One simple word: 'we'. 'We', said in a weighty voice.

She blinks and her eyes seem to have more shine in them again. She inhales deeply. ]

[idologue]

[ And without a further word she turns on her heels and leaves the trial room.

Though not before going to the corpse parts and taking the ring of Zelkov's finger. Which... yeah that is awkward. It takes effort. But this is how it's going right now.

And with that. BYE. ]

[butcherspice]

[Yeah, he should probably keep an eye on her. Don't want any of these vultures to take the opportunity to peck at her when she's already down.

Bye bitches he's following her out.]

[dakicover]

I don't need to eat you, I would just need to silence you.

[idologue]

[ 'Beel can kill two people in a night, but I draw the line at someone being slightly mean to him,' is it?

It's only thanks to Billy that Lacus doesn't have a retort to this. ]

[dakicover]

[ that's right! he's forgiven worse from even worse people-- the only difference between beelzebub and lacus is that he doesn't like her the way that he liked beel.

or how he loves sion, for that matter.

at her lack of retort, he sneers, almost as if waiting for her to say something else. but if she won't, then he'll simply turn away and leave. ]

[microtransactions]

All right, that's enough.

[ do any of them need to be doing this right now. is this the time? ]

[dakicover]

She started it.

[ but he'll relax. happy now? ]

[microtransactions]

[ magolor doesn't! but considering how many people else here are still on edge it's only reasonable, probably. ]

It's just words. If it makes her feel better, then whatever.

[ whatever she says isn't going to bring back zelkov. and whatever you're doing now isn't going to bring back nona or save beel. ]

[dakicover]

[ he was going to back off but oh my god billy happened. ]

[plunges]

[ No. No, it sure isn't. Thanks for stepping in, Magolor. He does appreciate it. ]

[microtransactions]

[ he just really hates fighting, all right? ]

[dancing_flames]

[Thank you for stepping in before he did so in a decidedly more explosive manner, Magolor.]

[microtransactions]

[ why is everyone so ready to shoot here, why can't you people be prepared to bring up shields like he is? ]

[diabolizes]

[ he appreciates you so much right now, magolor ]

[microtransactions]

[ thanks, crea probably doesn't! ]

[plunges]

[ He looks over at Crea and looks ready to spring into action. ]

Do not.

[dakicover]

'Kay 'kaaay.

[ if xiao says so! ]

cw crude language I'm sorry

[butcherspice]

[Billy glares at Crea at that, stepping in.]

I'd watch what you're threatenin', mate. People might start thinkin' you got a fetish for guttin' women if you ain't careful.

[It seems that Crea is backing off for now, though, so they're spared from a fight.]

She put up with all our shite these past couple weeks without sayin' a word. She's got a right to snap at someone.

[That's all he has to say before following Lacus out.]

[dakicover]

I don't give a shit what kind of fetish you think I got, mate. I've been called worse, so go ahead, call me what you want. Think what you want. I genuinely couldn't care less.

[ he won't approach billy, but he's not backing away either. if he wants a confrontation, then he might just get it. ]

I will, however, not let her insult my friend that way, kicking him when he's already down. If she wants to snap at anyone, then she should snap at herself for being unable to protect the people she cared about.

[butcherspice]

Ha. And you did such a good job protectin' your friends, right? Maybe I'll go ask Nona right now.

[He can't help sneering a little.] Unless you're one of the folks who didn't vote Beel, don't think you've got much right to whinge about who kicks him while he's down anyway.

[At least Lacus is consistent in her loyalties. At least she isn't weeping over a man she just poured dirt onto.

What right do any of them have to complain about compassion or morality? All of them just do what they have to in order to protect their own. Crea does it, Billy does it, the whole damn island does it.

It's all a fucking farce.]

[necrotiem]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that's the Crea she knows.]
