day two - trial.

[foxhounds]

SHIP-TRAP day two 36 players remaining The bell rings for dinner at 6PM, and you're lead to that familiar door once again. The door opens with a sensation of warm, humid air, and there's the sight of a open staircase winding down. Ivan ushers you into an open cave before she locks the door after everyone. A large table is inexplicably set for as many places as there are people. You'll find dinner already set (though those that requested something else will receive that), and for those that have already were killed on previous days, you'll find their meal replaced with a framed portrait sketched in pencil. As you come to your conclusions about who to vote for, you can approach a table in a room to the side and write your vote before placing it in an ornate box. When you place your vote, there's the sound of a deep bell tolling. When you return to your place at the table, you'll find a glass of port waiting for you. You have until 9PM to discuss and vote for who you think The General is. rulebook character statuses character profiles graveyard Voting will close at 11 PM EST on 8/12. Voting

[ Look it's not Hector's fault Royce has been extra dodgy about giving out his name!!! ...Though it is Hector's fault that he hasn't even paid attention enough to catch any alias or anything because he just. Does. Not. Care. Why name vermin, right??? ]

He voted yesterday then had the nerve to act like we were all heartless murderers for trying to abstain. Even if he's not the General or one of his hounds, he's a low creature that no one will miss.

[.....]

Ah, but...he was right, was he not?

[they...kind of were heartless murderers by abstaining.]

Not that... I am particularly happy about it, but even so, we...were wrong.

[reckless_but_loyal]

No!

[ Hector slams his fist on the table for emphasis and the wood underneath probably cracks a little under the force. Sorry not sorry for the damage, Ivan. ]

We were deceived! Perhaps it was naive, even foolish to abstain, but it was far from heartless of us! None of us wanted that outcome, save for him!

[unrulyprincess]

[She jumps at that too. CALM YOUR JETS, HECTOR.]

W-well, yes, that is also true, but...

[...but they were still wrong.]

[ Royce has been listening!! He's always listening. ] You're welcome to vote for me, but I've done nothing you would consider wrong on this island. You'd be voting to kill someone innocent just because you dislike them.

[ He glances at Clarine first, then Hector, and then goes back to picking at food. ]

[reckless_but_loyal]

Even if you haven't killed anyone here, it's clear you're no innocent. Don't act as though all your sins were washed away in the ocean when you washed up here.

[liven]

Eh...so the man who replaces axes and swords because they get worn out cutting through bone and armor has never killed? How very odd.

[ sup ]

[reckless_but_loyal]

Of course I've killed. In battle, to defend myself from those who would see me dead first. Do not claim it's the same as a weasel who preys in the shadows.

[liven]

...I would myself be more concerned with the hunters that kill in the night.

[bywolves]

Are you deaf? I said I've done nothing on this island. Nowhere have I ever claimed to be innocent. [ He pushes his hood back to grin at Hector. ] If my past sins are going to be cause for a vote in my direction, that should be the case for everyone else, as well.

[ossifragant]

He was right, though. He was the only smart voter among us.

[Why does he have to stick up for Royce....]

[reckless_but_loyal]

[ You don't have to stick up for Royce, Greed, you really don't. ]

The smart choice or not, we were not wrong for not wanting to send anyone to the gallows. The General is to blame for yesterday's deaths, not us.

[ossifragant]

That doesn't mean his vote was incorrect.
