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!

UPDATE

[siblingless]

[RETURNING EVERYONE'S WEAPONS NOW, BUT ALSO—]

Um... So, the scuffing on Raven-san's chest was probably made with his own weapon. None of our weapons matched Brick-san's injuries, though. And the guns Uraraka-san and Xie Lian-san offered can't be loaded with bullets.

Re: UPDATE

[dawnblushed]

...so there's some kind of weapon that we missed.

[antaressnipe]

What areas have not been explored yet?

[dawnblushed]

Um, people looked at the fort, the pub, and the swamp, I think... And the boat?

[if there were more places that got checked blame memloss. or just blame my work for distracting me.]

[siblingless]

I think so, too. It's just like last week.

[Has Bucky reported the steak knife matchy? Oval shape continues to be a mystery.]

[dawnblushed]

At least we know early that we need to be looking.

[bisouled]

If it was his own weapon, then he was definitely knocked out or incapacitated somehow. He was a creep, but he wasn't that clueless.

[ fiora has never spoken to him one-on-one but she's passed judgement nonetheless. ]

Is there anyone he's likely to have gone drinking with...? Someone who could slip something to him without him noticing?

[siblingless]

I didn't talk to Raven-san all that often... [And now she kind of regrets it.] So I wouldn't know who he would trust enough to allow around his drinks.

[reconnective]

[hmmmm.]

Chiron and I were thinking something could've been thrown in the ocean after Laine was killed, so that could be a possibility still if we didn't find something to match his injuries.

Either that, or it was something that wasn't meant to be a weapon at all.

[supremity]

[ Xie Lian is within 6' of him at all times if not closer, now that the yakity sax kerfuffle is over, otherwise he would maybe volunteer for this himself. But. ]

Do we have any strong swimmers that would, perhaps, be willing to check around the port and the ship? The bloody footprints trailed off to the port itself.

[reconnective]

...I could try if we think that's worth it.

[supremity]

I'd say it's something to keep in mind, if we don't find another lead on where the weapon has gone.

[reconnective]

Okay. Just let me go and I'll dive in. [he's a good swimmer, he's dived through the caribbean without needing to breath and everything.]

[antaressnipe]

If the murder weapon was discarded, then we'll have to surmise what it was in order to proceed forward.

Anyone who is familiar with firearms -- could you confirm that Laine was shot in the head?

[siblingless]

No one has dived into the ocean yet, right? Maybe the leaders will allow us to go back and check.

[reconnective]

Maybe. I told Hua Cheng I don't mind taking a look if we really think that's gonna help us, but let's focus on what we have first.

[siblingless]

We'll keep it in mind as a last resort, then.
