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!

PUB

[retellers]

[ here they are at the pub! Wolf once again stays outside because if they can't drink what's the POINT. have fun kids ]

[uhhhmagic]

Even just seeing this place makes me sick now.

[UGH. Okay. Walking in? So how is everything scattered around, are there any scuff marks on the floor that look like people had been fighting? Or is the furniture just tipped from where it was earlier?]

[evocationary]

Right? I'm not hungover but I feel it.

[ she's following after. she definitely pats wolf on the shoulder as she goes in. she's gonna go look to see if the mugs are still sitting around. ]

[retellers]

[ the mugs are still there because no one put them in evidence. one is empty, one has about 1/5 of beer left.

There are scuff marks on the floor! It looks like a fight that magically missed everyone in the pub just like the raven blood did, almost like a kind of murder convenience due to some things being planned before an entire party showed up

also i forgot this is important wolf goes :| ]

[uhhhmagic]

We have fingerprinting stuff, right? Should proooobably grab those mugs. Without touching them.

[Never Have I Ever ruins another murder game. Is there like, a tray and a bar towel around?]

[evocationary]

Got it. [ she'll use her sleeves to carefully pick up both of them. ]

Think we could test the remains of this alcohol for something? [ ... ] The painkillers and alcohol making him sleep thing sounds more and more likely, you know.

[ if she tries to order a beer from the bar, can she. ]

[retellers]

[ there's a tray and bar towel but it's too late lup is using her sleeves. where is she grabbing onto? this is for your own reference when 7 people ask later

And yeah the. the pub still works fine. It's some kind of weird magic. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[Hoooolding out the tray!]

Don't touch the handles! And, uh, I didn't see any signs he'd been poisoned when I checked, but I guess that doesn't eliminate it. Someone could down that last bit as a cool prank I guess. Why not? Probably not enough left in there to kill someone.

[While he's here - where exactly was the chair Raven was sitting in? Was it pulled up the bar or just out in the middle.]

[evocationary]

[ she's going to grab the like, lip of the mug but towards the back of the mug, avoiding the handles and the places people might put their mouths. she carefully picks them up and sets them on the tray. ]

Yeah, just - give it to someone and see what happens. It'll be fine. We have healing guns?

[ she's going to also order a beer, and put it in her pocket for now. also can we look at the splatter too, there was a blood splatter right? can we see which direction it sprayed from and if maybe it looks like some of it didn't land because it got on someone's clothes instead? ]

[retellers]

[ Taako and Lup will recognize the chair as being the same one they last saw him in before the pub passed out! Wherever the fuck that was. The void of the bar locale.

Lup has a beer now, yay. The splatter looks like it sprayed in front of where the body was, and it doesn't look like there was a big interruption of it like clothes or something. It's not a movie artery so it went spurt spurt gurgle on raven so there's a bit of a puddle under the chair that's been spread around. With hand prints in them. Who could've done that. Who!!! ]

[uhhhmagic]

Um . . . did no one think to mention the handprints?

[because they aren't evidence. Taako just doesn't know that. Well. Checking the floor, for any stray hairs he can eat or something. Also, the ceiling? DID WE CHECK THE CEILING.]

[evocationary]

[ can i just say spurt spurt gurgle is really funny ]

Uhhhh. Hope nobody came in here and disrupted evidence. [ she also doesn't know about the handprints. god. ] Is that... everything in here?

I gotta admit I didn't listen at all when they were describing what they found in here.

[retellers]

[ words are too hard. spurt spurt gurgle good and easy. anyway, there's nothing on the ceiling they checked like 70 times and there's no stray hairs on the floor despite 7 people sleeping in here because shut up.

the handprints are alyssa sized. its incredible. i wonder why. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Oh I barely pay attention to half of what people are saying in there.

[ I don't know. My fucking brain is so tired. Did anything fall behind the counter, actually? ONE NEVER KNOWS. Raven did have a bow that also apparently changes into a sword, so maybe he shot off a close range arrow or . . . something.

Taking his tray of carefully preserved Beervidence and doing one more sweep of the pub after that.]

Guess we gotta go back and deal with more idiot teens trying to kissfight each other or whatever.

Hey Wolf? Can we just stay here?

[evocationary]

[ she makes a face. ]

If we're going to go somewhere else, I just want to go back to bed, not stay here. [ she peeks over taako's shoulder at wolf. she will hand them the beer in her pocket. ]

[retellers]

I don't drink on the job. And I'm definitely not sticking around here.

[ but like, they'll take the beer anyway. anyway there's nothing behind the counter!!!! nothing at all except a fuckin mess like the rest of the place. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Stop hitting on boys for like three seconds, Lulu.

[STOP, anyway. We'll free the mods. Heading back!]

[evocationary]

I'm not hitting on them, Koko, wow.

[ she follows him back, but also, to wolf: ] It's for later, my dude, obviously.
