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. ))

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. ]

[microtransactions]

[ HE IS GOING TO SCRUFF THE BOTH OF YOU IF EITHER OF YOU MAKE A MOVE TOWARDS EACH OTHER, JUST WATCH. ]

[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.]

[dakicover]

My vote's secret while we're here. But if you wanna ask me in private, text me later! We can trade notes over drinks, if you're really curious.

[ the nona comment does sting, however. he's well aware that he's calling out lacus on the same shit that he's hating himself for, but hey, no one should have branded him a morally just person. his loyalties lie with his friends and he couldn't care what they do, so long as they are happy.

not that beelzebub was happy but...

he doesn't want to think about that. ]

[butcherspice]

That a promise? Fucking peachy.

[His voice is terse and sarcastic as he heads out, not letting his guard down in case Crea decides to try something funny on his way out.

There's not much point in telling these people that he'll kill them if either of them try anything against Lacus. If they don't know that, they're fucking stupid.

Huh. When did he start giving a shit about the wellbeing of anyone here?]

[dakicover]

My word's perfectly trustworthy! Try to test it, mate.

[ and with that, he'll wave a friendly good bye as he turns away! no, he wasn't just about to rip lacus' and maybe billy's throats, what are you talking about? ]

[microtransactions]

[ y'all are exhausting.

whatever, what they get up to in private is on them. if they want to get in a fight over their bar chat later he's not going to stop them.

he does, however, only leave once both of them manage to depart from the sandbar without going at each other's throats. ]

[necrotiem]

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