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!

RAVEN or SCHWANN or bird pun

[evocationary]

[ she makes the worst face in the world but hey, at least she's not drunk. she also asks for gloves... please. she doesn't want to touch a dead body without gloves.

what are we looking at at first glance! ]

[retellers]

[ what if i WANT lup to touch a dead body without gloves, though? but fine. you can have them.

anyway. well, first, lup will notice and judge that he's in this pirate outfit without the hat, then she will probably notice the slit throat. since that's like, kind of obvious on the frontsies part of thing.

there's blood all over his front starting from his throat. it is a mystery what the source could possibly be. ]

[evocationary]

[ well if you want her to yartz like, sure - but she'll take the gloves.

the pirate outfit is ridiculous. she's going to check out the slit throat - does it look messy? is it a clean cut or is it like jagged or uneven? ]

[retellers]

[ it's a nice clean cut! so nice. so neat. so still a murder wound but at least for once it's not like gross and jagged, okay. take your victories. ]

[evocationary]

[ noted... she's going to take that as he didn't struggle. she's gonna check his mouth - anything weird around his mouth, or in it, like no wounds or weird gums or cyanide in his tooth or something ]

[retellers]

[ nothing in the mouth! but it does smell like alcohol. this will come as a shock to her, i'm sure. ]

[evocationary]

[ the biggest shock, i can't believe raven was DRINKING

anyway. she checks his eyes to see if they're bloodshot, and then looks through his hair for anything. ]

[retellers]

[ she has to open his eyes for this but they're not bloodshot or anything. his hair is fine! nothing on his scalp. does raven wash his hair. did schwann. this isn't in my notes and i could ask but i choose to believe his hair was greasy from depression ]

[evocationary]

[ both of us have just decided his hair is greasy from depression, yea

alrighty, time to undress the dead bird. she's sure he's thrilled from the graveyard. she's going to strip him down to his underwear if he's. wearing it. and see if there are any other immediate wounds. ]

[retellers]

[ there's no other immediate wounds but before i go into naked details since she's looking at the rest of the body i'll stop being coy and say he's holding onto his sword/bow thingy in his hand, so to undress him she will have to pry that out. rigor mortis SUCKS. ]

[evocationary]

[ aaaaaaaa god, she's just going to wrestle with that for a minute. she does not want to break anything so she just painstakingly... peels it out of his hand. ]

Be lucky I don't want to ruin evidence or I'd just chop your hand off. [ she tells raven's dead body, like an asshole.

she gently puts it down so they can check it for later... does it have blood on it? ]

[retellers]

[ yea it's got blood on the blade... part. on the cutty part. you get me. also i'm nice and she manages to do all of this without breaking any of his dead fingers, though he would deserve it. ]

[evocationary]

[ thank for nice u_u she sets the bow sword down for now.

she checks his chest first to see if there are any bruises or cuts! and then she looks at his hands to see if they're bloody, wounded, etc - or if the fingernails are messed up in anyway, jagged or bloody or long. ]

[retellers]

[ i will let her check his hands because it's Fucking nothing, and, though his front clothes were soaked because sometimes bleeding out the throat is messy, there's no obvious wounds on his chest.

but uh he does have this gem thing on there over his heart. it's more dull than the reference picture, and the metal part immediately next to/around it almost looks... scuffed? ]

[evocationary]

[ "i will let her check his hands" was there a universe where i was not allowed to check his hands

she looks closer. can she tell what made the scuff marks? boots, or like... scratches, what is it. ]

[retellers]

[ i will let her do both at once is what i was saying.

it looks like it was stricken by something? like when something metal is hit by something else that's also metal real hard ]

[evocationary]

[ oh neat

hm. okay. does the gemstone like... come out. is it loose. or is it just really jammed in there. ]

[retellers]

[ it absolutely does not come out like, at all. terrible. ]

[evocationary]

[ fuck how am i supposed to be a magpie if i can't even steal raven's gitty

okay well she'll keep moving down to check his legs for wounds, bruises, anything. ]

[retellers]

[ quick q did she take off ALL his clothes ]

[uhhhmagic]

[hello hi here to check poor sweet peacock's body for effects of poisoning - possibly with the painkillers. taako is, uh, let's call it very obsessively familiar with poisoning effects by a variety of different things.

Yellowing of the eyes? Large or small pupils? Did it seem like he might have thrown up at all? That sorta poisoning thing. Google is telling me things.]

[retellers]

[ he does not look like he was poisoned, no ]

[uhhhmagic]

[DOES HE SMELL POISONED

IM WATCHIN FOR TRICKSY WORDS]

[retellers]

[ he smells like a sadsack alcoholic. ]
