day six - trial.

[foxhounds]

SHIP-TRAP day six 15 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 9 PM EST on 8/28. Voting

[Alright, here's Hinata. He definitely wasn't close to Jason at all, but he's really hoping that at least Jason would be kind enough to leave some kind of evidence in a letter.]

[ Bols carefully breaks the seal on this one. ]

[At dinner, Hinata is only eating in between scribbling on some bits of paper with a pen he was able to get from Ivan. A closer look at what he's working on would reveal that he seems to still be going over that blue and red list. There's lines crossed through the names of people whose roles would have been discovered during trial, and a square drawn around the block of KASEN, AUGER, and PEARL.

Something certainly seems to be bothering the teen! But he's open for conversation and discussion.]

[unrulyprincess]

[It has been a really rough couple of days for Clarine. First having to kill Gi-ne and now with Hector and Kashuu dead...well, it had all taken its toll.

But it's with a spark of interest that she peers over Hinata's shoulder.]

What are you doing?

[baaaaka]

Hey, what's the big idea?

[ THAT'S HIS NAME ON THERE... ]

Don't tell me you're thinking I'm a villain.

[dolosa]

[ Guess who's going to be awkward in the corner of the room because she was bridal carried by a certain someone (you know who you are) and well, she's just going to sit here and not say anything because GOD WAS THAT EMBARRASSING

don't mind her she's just going to be really flustered and red in her corner, thank you very much. . . ]

[hopefragment]

[Rei why are you blushing, Hinata's only slightly flustered from having held her like that?? But they're friends and she needs help getting down the stairs, what else was he supposed to do when she asks him for help??]

Hey, Rei, are you okay...?

[She looks really red and he can't figure out why...]

[pearlturbed]

I'll summarize some of what we found today. Feel free to add in anything I may have missed.

[ dully. she's... not in the mood, of course, but she needs to do this. and so it shall be done. she's frazzled and all over the place, but it's with a deep breath that she begins: ]

Souji and Hector, deaths most likely caused by both Orion and Gi-ne's foxhounds. ... Max... dismembered and... spread around. Separate from those scenes, Clarine found both a taser and a bloody dagger. There was... blood, on a tree, a trail leading to a sizeable amount of blood, and a bush, with an impression.

[ ugh, here comes her FAVORITE PART. ]

... Kas... [ excuse her, clearing her throat. ] Kashuu and Tsurumaru. Tsurumaru was-- stabbed in the stomach, and beheaded, by Kasen, as he had a gun and-- shot Kashuu, several times. The gun was empty. Kashuu had several injuries--the wounds from the gun, a stab wound above his heart, and...

[ ... and then, the thing that's been bothering her. ]

I'm uncertain what the results of the strip search was for everyone, but he also had a stab wound on his shoulder. Kasen said it might be from a dagger, and I doubt the injury was from Tsurumaru.

[ why stabby stab if you're busting caps? and considering they have a d...agger... and there was no Miracle Gi-ne Version Two, would that connect the two... ]

[hopefragment]

...Hang on.

[Hinata's resting his chin in his hand as he listens to Pearl's account. He'd gone over the bodies himself as much as he could, but...]

We found a bloody dagger, and Kashuu also had a stab wound? There's little reason for Kanesada to stab Kashuu in the shoulder before killing him, [but who really knows with these swords,] so doesn't it stand to reason that the only body that's been found with a stab-wound that could have come from a dagger is connected to that scene?

Not to mention... we're still missing another person. Melborn... carries a dagger, right? Could anyone tell if that was actually his weapon that we found?

[double_x]

[ If you expect to see Fuuma smiling, you're... right! He is, in fact, smiling when he tries to get everyone's attention. ]

I don't think examining what happened last night will do any good or help us find a General. There wasn't any evidence before Jason's trial and it seems possible the same is true now. Since that's the case and I doubt another name is going to come up, I don't any choice but to name someone myself. [ And now his expression turns serious. ] I won't lie, this isn't like yesterday's trial. We don't have any real evidence and if you ask me for proof, I can't give it to you. But if you ask me for my reasons, I can at least share those.

I believe Rei may be a General. I'd give my reasons but I think I'm going to end up repeating myself if I do. I'm sure you're having doubts and want to question me, so please ask me anything.

[hopefragment]

What!?

[...Oops.]

[believesin]

Hazama-san? [Rena looks over at Rei and then back at Fuuma.] I'd like to hear your reasons. Is it because of how she voted yesterday?

[dolosa]

[ She hears those words and visibly tenses up, shaking as her hands scrunch around her skirt. Rei herself won't say anything, but she'll be sitting down in clear fear. ]

[x_over]

[ He doesn't disagree exactly, given the way he had eyed her earlier today, but this is risky. And his frown says he's unhappy with Fuuma's method. ]

... And if they vote for you, instead?

[pearlturbed]

[ ......... well. someone mentioned it. and considering how she's already gotten to this point, it's without hesitation that she says-- ]

I think the same.

[ and now "BUT THEY'RE NICE" means crap so. ]

[unrulyprincess]

Wh...

[????]

W-wait, that is not-- what do you mean?

[REI CAN'T BE GUILTY... can she......

Admittedly after Gi-ne, a lot of Clarine's faith has been shaken, but not Rei...]

[baaaaka]

Me too.

[ Auger pipes up from where he's sitting, one arm resting lazily on the back of his chair. ]

She'd be a great target. Slow, inoffensive, liked by everyone, always contributing. Right? But somehow, she's totally fine.

[double_x]

I know we've tried this in the past and failed but I'd like to get a tally of the votes. Whatever way it's going, I think it's best if we know now instead of waiting until time runs out. [ Enough people should have made their decisions for this to be feasible. ]

We should give whoever is going to be executed more time to say their goodbyes and prepare themselves for what's going to happen. It's the least we can do for them, no matter what their alignment is.

Just a name is fine.

[dolosa]

I'm going to abstain from voting. I'm sure everyone thinks I'm guilty, after all, and I can't decide who else I'd vote for.
