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!

[exercisms]

Mm. I think the idea he was drugged and let his guard down and got killed fast. . . that doesn't really match with the pub.

[reconnective]

It doesn't. If the person with the gloves and the person with the signs in town are the same person as the one who killed him, then it's likely somebody who knew we'd fixate on what we're seeing and not what it actually means.

[exercisms]

They must have had to fight, and got the weapon away from him.

Um. . . for the painkillers. . . we don't know they were related to what happened to Raven-san anyway.

Somebody who could fight Raven-san and win, even though he was a soldier. . .

[reconnective]

Mmhm. Yeah. If Raven was already drunk because of the game we were playing, his reaction times could've still been slow enough by just enough that somebody had an advantage. Especially if it was somebody who wasn't already in the pub with us.

A lot of what we found in the tailor all ties to the same places. The costume, the broom, and gloves were found around the swamp and around the ship and stuff, which is where Laine was found. It could be two different people just coincidentally grabbed gloves, so the painkillers could be related to either death.

[evocationary]

In that case, like, why couldn't they have just completely destroyed the pub artfully? That'd explain why none of us have bruises.

You know what I mean? Like they made it look like a scene.

[reconnective]

That's what I'm thinking. It was meant to look like a fight so we'd focus on that instead when it could've been as easy as catching him by surprise and slitting his throat.

Look at how much time we're already spending on trying to figure it out.
