WEEK TWO: TRIAL

[retellers]

WEEK TWO: TRIAL (35 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: This is your reminder to be at the Emporium by 12 PM. 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: Wolf, Rabbit, and Fox. Fox speaks. "... Third time isn't the charm, as it turns out. You have nine hours. We'll help with what we can, as before." ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third 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!

[ Still weird to hear his actual, real name but hello, yes, he is holding his hand up in a low key confirmation and is free of the curse ]

[siblingless]

Huh... Okay. [... A glance towards Fox, and then back at Wolf.] Um, was Fox-san able to find someone to stay with for curfew? They weren't injured like Goat-san last week, were they?

[infreefall]

Benedetto-san, Elsa-san, Tsukino-san, Alphinaud, and I were all at the inn. There weren't any effects for us yesterday morning.

[recrowns]

I thought it was a bit charming. I haven't gotten to do something like that since I was a child.

[antaressnipe]

... You are providing food for us? That is very kind.

[He'll take a sammich]

[yamantaka]

I was by myself in the Arcade!

That's it. Nothing else happened!

[ blushing ]

[exercisms]

[He'll happily take a sandwich and eat it and compliment it and have a whole endearing conversation with Rabbit, who is present today.

But then he'll talk to Wolf.]

Did you try a sandwich?

[papasha]

[Closes eyes.

Thank everything he isn't scrambling to build a blanket fort anymore.]

I can confirm this.

[uhhhmagic]

Thiiiiiink the flyers were a malicious attempt at wasting our time! Or someone else's? Like a murder victim, maybe?

[heartablaze]

Claude, Jeanne-san and I were out at the port. I had a couple people tell me I smelled kind of like... fish??? [Ew.] I couldn't really wash it off, but it went away after I woke up this morning.

[dianxias]

...Even Sora....?

[retellers]

Fox had another invite. They're fine.

[ please don't remind wolf of thursday night ]

[antaressnipe]

I was in the planetarium with Emet-Selch and Shiro. From my end, I did not experience any effects.

[assistance]

We're fine now, though. No hangovers or anything!

[ beat ]

Unless someone actually did drink themselves silly yesterday anyway, but that's on them.

[recrowns]

Ah, I suppose I can't invite either of you to blanket forts anymore....

[he's

mostly joking]

[chanteuser]

Like something to keep us away from the tailor's shop? [ and the pub, apparently. ]

It didn't work very well, if that was the goal. It just delayed us a bit. So maybe it was meant for someone else?

[exercisms]

Fox was there?

[assistance]

He had juice!

[evocationary]

That's me, I'm one of the twins confirming, and I would like to thank Hansa's Lord that I'm not drunk anymore.

Have you ever been drunk for like twenty-four hours? It sucks. [ this is a general you, she knows dorothy shares her pain ]

[retellers]

[ mob, why. they thought they were free when you had that whole endearing conversation with rabbit who is present today ]

No.

PORT & FORT

[riegan]

Archer, Lup, and I checked the port and fort.

At the port, we found a pair of gloves on one of the boats and then we found a second pair in the fort's jail. There wasn't really anything of note about them that I could tell right away. Otherwise, everything else seemed fine to us.

I would suggest revisiting the fort. It's a large area so it's possible we might have missed something before the announcements.

[arkitect]

Evidence appeared to have been disposed of within the swamp. A trail of footprints led to and from the water, and within it we found a strange outfit and a... well, I cannot truly call it a spear. A steak knife tied to a stick. Along the way we also located a pair of bloodied gloves.

I believe Izumo claimed they fit her, and the measurements of the prints have been compared to both of these two. [he nods to her and vezda.]

[retellers]

Mmhm. Please take care.

[uhhhmagic]

Can't believe the sitting down and having a drink with the rando that's gonna murder you is a thing here. It's a thing! Why? What the fuck.

And we got a lil' rowdy, but there were certainly no tables overturned before I passed out that I remember anyway.

[papasha]

Well, timing is key... I wouldn't mind if it's during a less imperative time.
