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!

Somebody who knew about chemistry or poisons, I guess? [he doesn't know fuckall my dude.]

[sacredchants]

Alphonse is familiar with chemistry but I can't say that he'd know about this or not.

[ would izumo know about this? :thinking: ]

[evocationary]

I don't think Raven would've sat down with Alphonse to drink, though.

[sacredchants]

I never spoke with Raven much, but this wasn't Raven we've come to know either from what I understand.

That said, Alphonse doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the evidence that we've gathered, does he?

[evocationary]

No, he doesn't, and also Alphonse is a kid and Raven - Schwann, whatever - wasn't a fan of kids drinking, I don't think.

I think we can maybe rule him out.

[sacredchants]

I agree.

We need less suspects and not more.

[reconnective]

Yeah. Also? Alphonse wouldn't need gloves, actually.

[sacredchants]

But there definitely seems like there are more people who fit the evidence that we have better, right?

[ shiro, for example. ]

[reconnective]

Yeah...I think that's right. [he frowns in thought.] We need to narrow it down further, but I don't know how.

[sacredchants]

There's got to be something in all of this evidence.

[evocationary]

Right. So, uh.

Look, there's one person on that list that I'm pretty sure was good friends with Raven, who Raven would've sat down to have a drink with, that knows poisons? Knows, like - chemistry, of things. At least according to his profile. Someone smart enough to make sure the murder weapon was Raven's and not something he could be implicated with.

[ she rubs her face. ] I don't like that, but I'm going to say it out of fairness.

[uhhhmagic]

I will say, I don't think you need like a deep scientific background to know you can drug someone with pills.

[evocationary]

If you're a Ye Olde, you might. But.

I'm trying to think of people who he would've trusted to sit down with.

[robopriest]

Ah, but remember, he was a different person this week. He was Schwann. Raven didn't like me all that much from before, but with Schwann, he seemed almost fuzzy on how exactly he remembered me, but was open and willing to talk regardless.

So someone could've told him that they had known Raven well, and Schwann would've been okay with sitting with them. It's something to keep in mind.

[evocationary]

Fair enough. Doesn't rule out someone whose skill is "talking" in that case either.

[reconnective]

[...]

So what, you think we should be looking at Claude more closely, too?

[evocationary]

Yeah. I think so. Especially since he's trying to point fingers at someone I'm pretty sure didn't do it.

[reconnective]

...we should tell Won then. To check for prints for Claude.

[heartablaze]

[this idea makes her VISIBLY ILL THANKS

...]

...Could it have been a mercy kill?

[evocationary]

Could've been. Maybe he saw Raven not himself and wanted to do something to help. Or maybe he was ordered? I don't know.

I just think it's worth it to keep it in mind.

[heartablaze]

[Her mood sours further, but she stays quiet, thinking, something almost bitter in her emotions.]

If... they have to ask him questions, with Yona's item... I think I have a question I can ask him.
