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.))

If I'm right, you aren't him anymore. While I don't particularly mind if my conscience isn't clean, the rest can know theirs will stay that way.

Except you're wrong.

Isn't there supposed to be another prophet who would have had a vision too?

[fauxlosophical]

Indeed, but I don't hear them rushing to your defense.

I'm willing to stay my hand for now, you know. What the rest do is their choice, but I can be convinced to abstain.

[lingjournal]

There could be a lot of reasons for that. Maybe they're not as comfortable putting someone else's life on the line as you are. Maybe whoever they had visions of is someone important to them.

I don't think you believe I'm a demon at all.

[fauxlosophical]

I believe I can't be sure. I've said as much from the beginning.

[lingjournal]

No one gets to be sure. You and everyone else are going to have to follow your instincts.

[fauxlosophical]

You don't want me doing that, with regards to you.

I know what I've seen, and I know that it's my job to eradicate you.

[lingjournal]

Is that so? I guess I thought you'd have better instincts.

[fauxlosophical]

You'll have my most sincere apologies if I turn out to be wrong.
