Day 02 Trial

[shimmershimmer]

[It is once more time to convene at the temple to pass judgment upon those who would destroy everything we know and love. Godspeed, my friends.]

((Vote here!

EDIT: Right now barely anyone has voted, and people seem to be tapering off. Trial may be extended depending on how it looks closer to closing time!

EDIT2: Okay, I'm extending the vote two hours to 6:30pm EST! We're still missing a lot of votes, so please get those in even if it's just to abstain!))

...The fact that we're having a trial at all is a pretty good indication, Skye-san.

Does something this disorganized even count as a trial? Looks more like a bunch of frightened people standing around yelling at each other to me.

Trial law comes down to evidence. You can throw around all the accusations you want. If there's no evidence that Kimblee's a demon, and there's no evidence that Fulbright's one of the faithful, we can't say either of those allegations are true.

[lasuaspada]

So you would prefer to let us die off one by one, or perhaps in pairs, every night, rather than take a risk.

[skyentificmethod]

I don't like the idea of being picked off by those things any more than you do. But I'd rather not send someone to death if there's a chance they could be innocent, and I don't think I'm the only one.

If you have a better way to figure out who is what, I am happy to hear it.

[lasuaspada]

...The last time we waited, we lost our Seer. Are you willing to risk that happening again?

[skyentificmethod]

...

Do you really believe Detective Fulbright is this archdemon or whatever?

[lasuaspada]

I do, yes.

[begins to say something but crosses her arms instead, fiddling with her hair, considering]

...

Don't suppose you have any leads on the other six, huh.

[lasuaspada]

[...um]

...I don't, no.

[skyentificmethod]

Of course not. Just a lucky guess. Great.

[lasuaspada]

There's circumstantial evidence for this particular claim at least, which is more than we have otherwise. This entire thing is suspicious, mademoiselle, you have to admit it is.

[skyentificmethod]

--Oh no, you stop right there with the fanboy French. Figuring out how not to get ourselves eaten by unclean hordes without snackoos is one thing, listening to you people mangling European languages is another. Is that a lawyer thing? Is that why your argument was so clean?

[lasuaspada]

...I'm a college student, actually. Studying social welfare.

So nowhere near a lawyer, I'm afraid.

[skyentificmethod]

Go figure.

Hopefully you'll end up with extra credit for having to deal with all this.
