( TRIAL - WEEK 5 )
 At exactly 11:30 am, all residents who are still asleep will be jolted awake by a sharp, burning pain that spreads across their whole body. A simple look will reveal no visible injuries, oddly enough, and the pain will fade away as soon as they're properly awake. Those early birds who are already up and about will feel nothing — except maybe a strange, mysterious sense of relief as they go on about their business. Lucky them. Moments later, an announcement will come through the static-filled PA system: And true to his words, anyone who doesn't make their way to the Outdoor Dining Area before noon will be dragged kicking and screaming regardless of where they've sequestered themselves. Sucks to be you, huh? Upon arriving there, however, residents will be given the menu, one copy of the rulebook, one pencil, one notepad, and a cheque folder. Due the Kitchen and Dining Hall getting wrecked, lunch and dinner will mostly consist of grilled and barbecued menu items. Hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, and items that require little preparation — all the residents have to do is ask in order to receive. Similarly, all beverages will be retrieved from a hundred quart cooler that has been placed by the side of the pool. Not as fancy as usual, but at least the pool is clean now. Some inflatable pool toys lazily swim in the water, along with pool noodles. A single towel that still has sludge on it floats among the accessories in the pool. Looks like no one bothered to really clean it up from Friday. Every now and then, the waters will vibrate to the sound of buzz saws and assorted power tools. Looks like the Disposal Room, Dining Hall and Kitchen are under reparations still. A tent has been placed over the area to shield the residents from the sun, and to make up from the lack of transparencies everyone will receive a small booklet containing each resident's profile. They look a little bit like shitty PowerPoint presentation handouts, but maybe it's part of the charm. The profiles of the deceased are included, as always. A second tent has been set up in the parking lot, complete with an air conditioning on the inside. Its use will become rapidly apparent once the victims corpses have been wheeled in. Anyone who wishes to step into this area will be asked to wash their hands, and will be given a pair of latex-free gloves and a hairnet by a staff members who is stationed nearby. Residents are required to dispose of both items before returning to their table; a trash bin is available outside of the tent for this purpose. Evidence found during the investigation, on the other hand, will be displayed in a table by the pool shed. Any items found by the residents on Friday will be displayed here for further examination. Finally — one of the grandfather clocks has been kidnapped from its respective floor to show the current hour. Please do remember you have until 9:00 PM to figure out whodunit and cast your vote. And if anyone tries to leave the area before the trial is over? They'll discover an invisible wall blocking their path. Characters will be given nine (9) hours to discuss everything related to the investigation to hopefully solve the mystery behind this week's murder. No one will be allowed to leave the Pool/Outdoor Dining Area (the pool shed will also be locked), and all characters must cast their vote before 9PM EST. You may do so on this week's voting page. If you have any questions or doubts, shoot us a PM or a PP over at voting | profiles | menu | locations | ic rulebook |

Like I told you before, it's okay if you hate us. We expected it. But we did not think, at any point, that we were smarter or better than you. We were given a role that specifically made it so that we couldn't trust the rest of you. Weeks of that in an intense situation is harder to shake off than it looks, Jake. I'm not saying this as an excuse for our actions, but...
[ he glances towards where the other hunters and girge are. ]
We do care. [ well. maybe not girge, but still. ]

[ it's unfortunate but also true, even when he's being sincere. ]
We asked Andersen why didn't he try and talk us out of it. He said that there were too many variables that he wasn't certain of to make that choice. It was the same for us.
[ he shrugs, pulling out the candy craftly gave him earlier to roll around in his fingers. ]

I understand. You're not making excuses. I don't think you want to martyr yourself, either. Actually, you just sound really sad right now. [He pauses.] Oh, but, you know, even though I'm mad at you, I still want you to be my friend and have that birthday. Since we'll probably be going our separate ways and all... at least when we celebrate birthdays, we'd be close. But um, I understand too if you don't want it anymore.

I have no way of knowing when it's December.

[ the fact that jake still wants to be friends at all is more than jay thought possible. he walked into this trial expecting to get lynched, after all. ]
