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!

We found the lab coat and lye in the engine room. The coat was bloody and the lye was at least partially used.

[lecarre]

[eeurgh...]

I suppose they must have taken it with that intention, then.

[frostythehitman]

Definitely. The question is just, where the hell did the lye get used? There might be a third victim whose body was destroyed.

[lecarre]

[MELTING BODIES...]

... But many bodies were found as well, right...? I do not understand why only one body would be disposed of in that way.

Perhaps it was used on evidence instead.

[frostythehitman]

We found plenty of evidence too--why destroy only some of the evidence that way?

It could be multiple killers. The other, or others, killed the two that we've found. But another one could've used lye to get rid of the body.

[sacredchants]

Do you think we should ask the leaders if they can confirm the number of who died?

I know that they can't confirm the number of people who are responsible for this.

[frostythehitman]

Can't hurt to try, but it doesn't seem like they know much more about these murders than we do.

The safest bet would be to count everyone here ourselves, see if anyone's missing.

[sacredchants]

No, I suppose not, and a head count with the people here would be easiest.

[ and thus curfew check was born. ]
