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!

[I'm crying we deserve this

Alien is grappled, so, going to try and grab the knife or at least kick it out of the way.]

Shoo! Get out of here! Go! We don't want you anymore, Harry!

[yamantaka]

Yeowch!

[ but as much as he wants to stab the alien again he's going to reach down and grab the knife and stumble away with it ] ]

[laid]

[While those two fumble over the knife, Raven's gonna look around. Anything else to take notice of besides the blood spatter?]

I hope ya feel like you got yer revenge, Taako.
[Because now there's boy blood on your hands.]

[retellers]

[ They can grab the knife! The alien is confused because its name isn't Harry, but it grumpily flies off now that it's lost the knife.

Raven will see nothing else of note! Meanwhile, Goat holds their hand out. Please give them back their sword, Taako. ]

Um... is that all you wanted to retrieve...?

[uhhhmagic]

Oh, but see, I got dibsies . . .

[Not handing it back yet? This is truly spitting in the face of god, becuase Goat has the power over them being able to like, breath, at a moment's notice.]

Um, should probably check out where Sharon's body was real quick too.

[RQ RQ while we here, what's that blood splatter look like. Did the print trail from the rovers lead all the way here.]

[yamantaka]

[ +1 knife, with shima blood on it now??

but i guess he's going to look at the knife and see if there's any dried blood on it

it's probably pointless but is probably worth the shot ]

Yeah that could be smart.

[laid]

Give him the evidence, Taako.
[PLEASE WE CAME HERE TO SOLVE MURDER NOT STEAL KNIVES FROM ALIENS?]

We may as well be thorough while we're here.

[retellers]

[ There's a pause, before Goat simply reaches over to press their fingers against the blade of the sword, and it dissipates, as if melting into the air. No. :/

The trail did lead here, yes. It ends with the blood splatter. And yeah, Shima's efforts are pointless. Sorry, Shima. ]

[uhhhmagic]

I don't have the evidence! He does!

[HIM. That guy who's name Taako doesn't know. Anyway, heading back towards the rovers and over to where Sharon's body was. Anything here? On the ground? Signs of a scuffle or footprints? Blood??? A BIG SIGN ON THE MOOF (ROOF OF THE MOON) THAT SAYS SASUKE DID IT? Or was she just free floating on her lonesome.]

[yamantaka]

Well, you all saw the alien stab me and that's why my blood is on this knife now.

[ just. limps after taako ]

[laid]

I mean, would we have had a way ta tell it was your blood and not someone else's in the first place?

[Raven doesn't know about dna matching or whatever. Glad Goat took matters into his own hands. Raven's just gonna be a fresh pair of eyes on the scene that Taako leads them to.]

[retellers]

[ You got me, Taako finds a giant sign on the moof.

No, there doesn't appear to be anything around where Sharon's body was drifting. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Anything else? I tire of the moon. Sequels shouldn't drag on too much.

[Goat? Home please.]

[yamantaka]

I think that's it?

[ this bloody moon trip needs to end ]

[laid]

Sounds good ta me. Renzou's bleeding, we oughta head back so someone can take care of it.

[retellers]

Very well.

[ With a gesture, Goat opens another void portal that they can step through to return to the Emporium. Moon trip, done! ]
