Day 01 Trial

[shimmershimmer]

[Afternoon is here, and the time has come. We must gather at the temple to enact our solemn duty. There are tears in the Shimmering Lady's eyes as she addresses the group.]

This is something we must do together. Please discuss among yourselves who you believe to be a Demon. Each villager has one vote, and when the trial is over, I'd like you all to close your eyes and concentrate on your choice. If you are not certain, then you may select "no one." But if someone is chosen...

I shall take it from there.

((Vote here! You have 24 hours. More details on the voting page.))

I'm not used to fighting on the side of altruism, to put it gently.

[cafeolay]

If you're going to gamble on men's lives, you need to be prepared to pay the dealer. [What the hell did he just say?]

That's one of my rules.

[fauxlosophical]

I fully intend to receive whatever I earn; in fact, I welcome it.

Your rule will go unbroken, trust me.

[cafeolay]

Ha...! Welcome it? Is this a plan begging for the noose?

I thought you weren't used to altruism.

[fauxlosophical]

Not exactly.

Let's just say I've spent my entire life side by side with death; I know what I'm doing.

[cafeolay]

I wonder about that.

Now, you say you're the Seer. What evidence do you have to back up this claim?

[fauxlosophical]

What sort of evidence are you asking for?

[cafeolay]

The kind that's more than just a scrap of paper.

[fauxlosophical]

I can't very well share my visions with you.

[cafeolay]

Ha...! If you could do that, amigo, this trial would be much shorter.

But you can't expect us all to follow you blindly.

[fauxlosophical]

I'm well aware of that, and the fact is that I don't.

I know this is a gamble - for all of us, not just myself.

[cafeolay]

In other words, you're fresh out of evidence.

[fauxlosophical]

What can I say? I've told you all I can for the time being, and I'm aware that trying to force anyone to prove a negative defaults the argument in their favor.
