MOCK TRIAL WEEK 1

[consolemods]

So, after the sheriff's little introduction, you've got a better idea of why you're here... and outside of the more bloody-minded players present, it's probably not one you're terribly enthused about. Nevertheless, you're here, you're not leaving, and you've got a few rules to follow... but aside from that, you're basically left to your own devices. You can visit any of the locations in the town, and you do get complementary meals at the inn for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... but the question of whether someone will go ahead and kill hangs over the town like a dense fog.

Well, nobody's dead yet. But how long, exactly, will that last?

25 PLAYERS REMAIN

[Olympia arrives fairly quickly, in contrast to (and making no acknowledgement whatsoever of) her total absence from yesterday's events. She looks at the dead girl for a moment.

Then she addresses the Sheriff cheerfully.]

Since we've obviously caught you, does this mean you won't be allowed to leave?

[exclusiverelease]

[There's a clear effort to be chivalrous and humor her here: but it's obviously an effort.]

And what, miss, have you caught me doing?

[carbide]

The rules state that if we kill a player without being caught, we can leave. You've killed a player, but all of us clearly know it was you.

[...is she trying to be funny]

[exclusiverelease]

You're right. Miss Niijima and I had a little scrap when I found her intruding on the locked premises you see before you. As you can see again, I had the best of her. If I was playing the game, there'd be a problem, but I'm not.

[carbide]

Then you are permitted to leave.

[exclusiverelease]

...what makes you ask that?

[carbide]

You suggested that assuming we knew things could endanger us.

[There she goes being inappropriately cheerful again.]

[exclusiverelease]

That's got nothing to do with your assumptions. I meant it would be best for your continued survival here if you asked questions first and shot later.

[carbide]

Then maybe you need to be more clear.
