WEEK ONE: TRIAL

[retellers]

WEEK ONE: TRIAL (38 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. Hopefully you found it in you to make and eat breakfast, despite yesterday's news. At 11am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS, simply stating: empoti enp emporium. by the strike of twelve. Shortly before 12pm, every participant will feel compelled to move towards the Emporium, if they aren't already there. No exceptions! Though they will have to navigate around shelves and merchandise and the like, everyone will fit neatly inside the room. Once all the participants are present and the clock strikes twelve, the doors lock behind them. Three of the Leaders are there with them: Swan, Tiger, and Goat. Tiger speaks. "You have nine hours. Try not to stab each other during them." ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Hello, everyone, and welcome to the second trial! For the next nine hours, the characters are expected to discuss among themselves, ask questions, examine the bodies of the victims, look over the evidence found yesterday, and revisit locations as needed in order to find the culprit(s). There'll be a one hour break from 5-6pm EST, where no mod tags will occur. Before the trial is over, please remember to place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously. If you have any questions at any time, please let us know by pinging us on Discord!

How high up the wall were they written?

[ You can get a general gauge of heights from that, maybe ]

[infreefall]

[ nodding! ]

Right. I couldn't really focus on anything yesterday.

[lionson]

I actually paid attention and made it back to my room Thursday night.

[evocationary]

[ me, trying to figure out a way to call him mob icly

she just stares at him, and then: ]

This one.

[antaressnipe]

[For some reason that html doesn't lead me to anything but I have faith it just hates me in particular.

And.. hmmmmm right. He will be methodical about this, he decides, starting with the head. First opening the mouth, checking the inside as best he can. Anything off about her teeth, tongue, roof of her mouth? Is there a particular smell on her breath besides Corpse?

Also he can see that the lips are blue, but anything else of note about them? Cracked, bleeding, or colored (DID YOU PUT ON LIPSTICK FOR YOUR DATE WITH DEATH CATER)?

He will also check her nostrils and open her eyes to see if there is any discoloration/oddities there too. ]

ENGINE ROOM + ??? ROOM

[sacredchants]

Vezda, Hilda, and I checked the engine room and the one next to it. [ do we have a name for that room? ] And we didn't find anything explicitly incriminating if only just concerning.

[ because everything is gross in the engine room and everything awful in the other room by default?? ]

In the engine room Vezda found a bloodied lab coat and a bottle of lye; the other room we found some a saw with blood on it by the sink and on the ground was a bloodied scalpel as well as some hair. One of them was purple and another was blonde.

[reconnective]

How are you feeling now?

[papasha]

I can verify this, being there.

[He nods in greeting at Soo-won.]

EMPORIUM + PLAZA

[siblingless]

Um... I met up with Sora-san and Ruler-san, and we entered the Emporium together. [She. Glances at both of them, like. Please correct her if she hecks anything up.] The Emporium was a mess when we arrived. Everything was scattered, and the shelves and stands had been knocked over. It didn't seem as if anything had been thrown across the store, though. Just toppled over.

We found a strand of blond hair. A blood t-shirt as well. It looked like it was just discarded on the ground, and I didn't find any blood on the floor around it. Most of it was on the shirt, and I think some of it transferred to the floor underneath it. After that... We found Zaidelle-san in the plaza. She was still asleep, but she's okay.

[exercisms]

I was with you in Taako-san's room.

[He knows? Probably?]

We got locked in there, does that count as weird?

[supremity]

[ Hua Cheng snorts, but waves his hand in dismissive confirmation. ]

He was in the kitchen at the time the doors locked, while the rest of us were in the lobby.

That was where we would up staying for the night.

[robopriest]

So like you were drugged.

[can't believe fiora and the rest got high]

Were there any weird smells or anything in the room when you woke up?

[lecarre]

[She just nods quietly in agreement with that.]

We were all there together... and all woke up in much the same state.

[reconnective]

I'm glad you got some rest. You've been pretty busy lately.

[reconnective]

[just. this face.]

Come on! You were helping me make the signs that said not to do that!

[uhhhmagic]

Wow! You're going to kill him, Lulu.

[lionson]

Goat was there too?

[frostythehitman]

A spiral shape? What the hell does that mean?

Did all of you get it, including Goat?

[retellers]

[ a voice speaks from behind/underneath the counter. it goat. ]

That child spilling blood first in this world damaged something... but the flow of nova now doesn't feel disrupted the way it was then, although I cannot say it hasn't been affected at all, in some manner.

[bisouled]

I was trying to be delicate about it.

[ folding her arms - but she shakes her head. ]

Nope. It was totally normal. I thought we might have slept near a funny plant.

[antaressnipe]

Yes.

It's frustrating.

[The heck is a rest? Teachers don't rest, they make other people do that]

But thank you, Sora. Hopefully I will be in fair condition to assist today.

[suddenlybees]

Did it look natural, Cater's body? Like... somebody shoving her in there, instead of her hiding there herself and dying before she could get out?

[recrowns]

[he nods back!]

I apologize that your goodwill brought you into a difficult situation, Blanca.

[and he shifts - wincing briefly before remembering]

Oh - I misspoke. It is not only our arms...

[chanteuser]

[ she waves a hand. ]

Yeah, there were a lot of us.

[reconnective]

Haven't you ever heard of being safe not sorry? I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary, but...well, it was.

And you didn't even answer the question.
