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!

[ she's on the case with the gloves she found, at least. ]

... Well, Raven's body was found around there wasn't it? He knows how to fight, so it could be that whoever attacked him got injured?

Although it's a bit early to speculate that far. But someone might've been injured enough to need painkillers, for whatever reason.

[uhhhmagic]

We should probably do an item check, right? I don't know what everyone's shit can do, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if some of the effects are extremely helpful for pulling off murders.

[chanteuser]

Specifically for things we received from nova gathering? [ ... ]

It'd be useful to know what everyone can do with their items, yes. Do we want to group that in when we inevitably check for injuries?

[uhhhmagic]

Mm. Probably. That or do a specific item check - everyone worked in groups for the ones we had by the time of the, uh, murder, so everyone should be able to have someone to vouch for them.

[Actually--] I guess except me, because Raven is dead. Fuck.

[chanteuser]

... There wasn't anyone else in your group who could vouch for you? [ uh oh taako. ]

Um. Maybe he had the item on him and they'll find it in the body check...?

[uhhhmagic]

It's fine, I can just tell you what it does and it might explain the flipped tables? It gives you super strength. I would not be, uh, surprised if he used that shit.

[chanteuser]

[ huh. ]

What did the item look like, out of interest?

[uhhhmagic]

Alexandrite. Purple gem.

[chanteuser]

Oh, so this is from last week. Alright, thanks. I'll remember that for later.

[siblingless]

Nothing was missing from the First Aid Station in the morning, so... If the pills came from there, someone must have borrowed them earlier in the week.

[chanteuser]

So that doesn't really help us narrow it down... [ darn. ]

I wonder what they were used for. There was nothing in them, at all.

[siblingless]

They didn't have a particular smell to them, either?

[chanteuser]

... Should they?

[siblingless]

Not really. But some medicine is really smelly, right?

[chanteuser]

[ this is their lives now ]

I can... go and smell it, if you think it'd help?

[siblingless]

I... can do it if it's too strange?

[this is where murder has taken them.]

[chanteuser]

No, it's fine. I've already peeked in gloves today, this is just another thing.

[antaressnipe]

[Just CALLING OUT TO THEM while he's touching a body]

Ah, Miss Alex -- if you could, please check what the side-effects were of the painkillers, if we have access to the bottle.

[chanteuser]

[ calling back: ]

Will do!

[siblingless]

... Thank you, Benede— Um, Alex-san. Allow me to assist you if you happen to think of anything else, okay?

[chanteuser]

[ she's back. ]

They don't smell weird or anything. [ and then @ chiron: ] Side-effects are just the regular kind with painkillers. [ aka i don't think that's significant from the sheer confusion i just put the poor mods through ]

[antaressnipe]

[I SAW AND WAS WEEPING but Chiron will nod in thanks]

Thank you, Miss Alex. I was just curious.

[chanteuser]

No problem.

[siblingless]

Thank you, Alex-san.

[She gets a quick, polite bow!]
