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.))

How are you preventing anything? There's two seers, anyone can still claim to be another one. And we're already in the trial! It looks more like you were waiting until you were sure the real note writer wasn't going to do anything before taking their spot. If you wanted to prevent anything, you would have done it far sooner. Or skipped writing a note altogether. And if that were the case, why not take Mr. Bulat and Mr. Oswin's offer? That would have done the same thing without putting yourself in the public eye. But a demon would want to do this as openly as possible, since the goal is likely to gain everyone's trust and get the attention of the Templar!

You clearly described the "waste of a shot" as meaning the false seer is worth less than the real seer, when in fact they're equally important in finding demons. Trying to cover your lack of research with that backpedaling is only making you look more suspicious!

And you can save the noble speech until after you're either convicted or cleared of charges, Mr. Kimblee! You've done nothing to convince me to take your name off of the top of the list of suspects!

Do you know what I find truly interesting about this situation?

I've made this entire argument, I've stated my case and I've claimed the role of one of the Lady's appointed.

And yet I've heard no argument from her.

Do you doubt the Lady's judgement? Do you want to continue your blasphemy by accusing me? Or do you not care about her word?

I'm fairly sure demons don't have to, after all.

[Debates throwing his coffee, but takes a long gulp on it instead]

[Then slams it on the nearest surface!]

A mad dog is just as dangerous to itself as others.

Why don't you quit your yapping, Detective?

[thefaceofjustice]

Prosecutor Godot! ...But I'm interviewing a suspect... did you want to take over?

[cafeolay]

Interviewing? All I hear is the mad barking of a rabid Detective!

Cooler heads pave the path to justice. That's one of my rules.

[thefaceofjustice]

...Sorry, I guess I did get kinda pushy...

[cafeolay]

Evidence is the only thing that belongs in the battlefield. Do you have any?

[thefaceofjustice]

[Dammit Godot he's not a defense attorney.]

...Maybe we should get Ms. Cykes over here for this.
