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!

[This makes him frown.]

I see. I suppose this doesn't look good for me considering I had been in New York, does it?

[evocationary]

[ lup, who has been standing next to blanca/basically leaning against him for the past ten minutes, speaks up while looking at her nails: ]

Could be someone trying to frame you. I wouldn't worry about it.

[papasha]

[His smile is amused, but a little wryly when he glances down at her.]

I will see how laissez faire you are later tonight when everyone is deciding to vote for me out of suspicion.

[He's teasing? Maybe?]

[evocationary]

[ she just gives him a vaguely annoyed look. ]

The Realm does that thing where it speaks our beliefs into existence, so maybe don't joke about that.

[papasha]

[He smiles and waves his hand at her dismissively.]

I'm sure things will be fine.

[It's fun to tease her because she bullies him.]

[evocationary]

Don't do the reverse Uno card on me --

You are quickly becoming my worst nemesis. [ no bully. she whacks him but also takes his hand. ]

[papasha]

I hope I prove to be a formidable one.

[He only takes the hand if it's not the hurt hand.]

[reconnective]

...not really, no. [:(] So far I think you're the only one who has been there.

[papasha]

[He gives Sora a pat right on top of the head.]

Not to worry. If it's only a large, I'm not sure I could fit it. My shoulders and chest would be too big.

[reconnective]

[he will allow the headpat.]

...yeah, that's true too. [blanca thicc...] Where do you think it could've come from?

[papasha]

I'm not sure. Miss Yona thinks it could have been around and picked up, as they had to retrieve something like it last week.

I'm hoping that's the case. Though... I guess someone could be trying to frame me, as Miss Lup suggested.

[reconnective]

Maybe. [...and yeah he thought of that.] Why would someone want to frame you though?

[papasha]

I don't know. An easy target maybe, or an easy distraction.

I don't mind playing any part in investigations involving it, but spending a lot of time on it would just give them more time to remain anonymous.

[reconnective]

You're right. But we should keep it in mind until we can rule stuff out. If someone was framing you on purpose, then...maybe that person is closer to you than we think.

[dawnblushed]

It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Last week, when we were gathering nova, a shirt like that was something that Rufus, Ange, and I were told to find. So we know a shirt like that existed in this realm already.

[papasha]

[He nods at Yona.]

I wasn't aware, or maybe I would have got my own in that case.

[dawnblushed]

[images him in that shirt


giggles]

[papasha]

[He seems amused she is giggling. He reaches out to pinch her nose once gently.]

They're all the rage of tourists in New York. High fashion.

[dawnblushed]

[


she's got a look on her face like she's trying to decide whether or not she believes him.]

[robopriest]

I've been to New York a couple of times. [He gives a shrug.] And honestly? I don't see you as the type to buy something as cheesy as that.

[papasha]

[This makes him laugh.]

You didn't tell me this, Mister Cervantes. I'm honored you have high hopes for my wardrobe.

[robopriest]

I was working in Las Vegas for a long while, you know. The big sights and sounds of America aren't that foreign to me.

[A laugh in return.]

Anyways, I don't think that kind of T-shirt puts you under suspicion right away. Lets try to figure out what it means.

[papasha]

[He nods.]

I'll cross that bridge with everyone else when the time comes. Other evidence might be more accurate.
