Week 2

[thecastle]

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of many—first and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:

The Challenge.

Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.

As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.

But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.

What if Sage-san thinks about that too and intentionally fills the list with people who behave suspiciously?

[It could happen]

[deontological]

...that would be problematic.

[HE PROBABLY WOULD, TOO. Sen frowns.]

My hope would be that he would make it fair. He can hardly measure our abilities for his challenges if he stacks the odds against our favor.

[fedorascout]

You're right about that. Still, we can't rely on something as subjective as 'behaving suspicious', can we? I have never been in a real court of law, but I have heard physical evidence is much more important.

[deontological]

Physical evidence is important, certainly. But if we reach an impasse with the evidence, and we're not sure where to begin, starting with someone who exhibited a strong reaction to the motive who has also appeared on the list of suspects may be worth our time. That's all that I'm getting at.
