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!

HAIR.....2!

[dianxias]

[ with a handclap!! please don't make xie lian yell his ribs hurt. ]

Excuse me, everyone! Which of you found the blonde hairs that we were comparing for evidence? The one that is shorter of the two belongs to Miss Sharon's doll, so - knowing such information will allow us to set up a more clear timeline of what may have occurred that night.

Similarly, if you found a purple hair in the same location or a different one, it would be nice to know that as well.

And, finally, if your hair color roughly matches the blonde of the hair we found, please make sure you come to have it checked! The Taako siblings, Miss Elsa, Miss Alyssa, Miss Usagi, Won, and Miss Jeanne, if you please.

[ with a polite (if more stiff than usual) bow! ] Thank you very much.

[showyourself]

[Elsa is immediately present!]

Please be thorough. I want everyone to be... 100% certain.

[dianxias]

I will. [ with a bow of his head! ] Thank you, Miss Elsa.

[ her hair is so pretty... what a queen. ]

[showyourself]

[her hair is pretty nice! it's a match with the hair as much as the other people's hair is, though. not much left there but to quiz alibis and stuff.]

[assistance]

[ dammit :( ]

Ugh.

[ FINE... have her Hair ]

[dianxias]

Thank you, Miss Alyssa.

[ very appreciated! gonna check it against ur noggin. ] Gathering data, right...?

[assistance]

[ ... okay, she'll laugh a little at that. ]

Fair enough.

[uhhhmagic]

[snort]

Taako Twins is more alliterative, you know.

[have some hair to check. It's down from the braid.]

How much hair was it? People are dropping hair everywhere, but how is it getting off their head in the first place?

[dianxias]

Mm! [ how wise. "taako twins it is." he's checkin! thanks bud. ]

I'm not sure, entirely...hair can come loose from nearly everything, right? Even running fingers through it, if it's fragile enough.

It seems a few strands were found in the kitchen, and at least one in the Emporium, so far. I'd like to try and differentiate, to find out which came from where.

[uhhhmagic]

Sure, but in a murder trial in a . . . [waves hand] whatever set up this is?

[His hair sure is hair! Nothing seems broken or cut oddly, and it smells vaguely of fresh cookies. how.]

[discernments]

If I'm not mistaken, the people who investigated the kitchen found some blond strands with the purple hair, and Sora found a blond strand... here.

[ Since they're all standing in a messy crime scene rn.

But she's here for hair check....2! ]

[dianxias]

The kitchen, the Emporium... are those the only places?

[discernments]

[ thinking... ]

I think Izumo mentioned hair in the... questionable room, as well.

[dianxias]

[ the questionable room is the best name for it ]

Ah, that adds on a little. So one was found in the station, and the others in the town....

[moondumplings]

[ here she is, pigtails at the ready ]

Do you need me to take them out........?

[dianxias]

Thank you, Miss Usagi. You went to investigate yesterday, right? Were you with one of the groups that found the hair?


[ i meant to ask this to everyone who went on an explore but i forgot so usagi gets it ]

[moondumplings]

[ she nods!!! and also undoes her buns while she talks. congrats on the sudden wave of hair everywhere ]

Mm, it was in the kitchen!

[ which is why she maybe panicked since it was blonde....]

[recrowns]

[I WAS WRITING A CATHERD YEETS A HAIR IN HERE]

[dianxias]

[ takes your gross hair i guess ]

[evocationary]

The - Taako siblings? No, absolutely not.

[ her hair is here though. ]

[dianxias]

That's both of your names, isn't it...?


[ he trusted you, taako 1 lup ]

[evocationary]

I - oh. [ she forgot. ]

No, it's - my name's Lup. I forgot I didn't correct you.

[dianxias]

[ ... ]




Oh. I thought it was a title...

[evocationary]

[ i'm crying skfkskd ]

Nah. I'm Lup Taako and he's Taako Lup. Last time I checked, anyway, it's been a hot minute since we talked about our last name. Maybe he changed it in the last few years.

[ just makes it even more confusing ]

[uhhhmagic]

[i thought it was "from tv"]

I was going with a one name thing for a while. Stronger branding.
