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!

If we go by the profiles, Fujimoto-san and Archer-san know about medicine, Elric-san knows some chemistry...

...Fujimoto-san was on the list of suspects, wasn't he? Were the others?

[antaressnipe]

Yes, he and I both have extensive knowledge on botanical medicines.

[lionson]

You're not wrong, I do know about medicines. And it is annoying that the clues keep pointing at me.

But I didn't do it. I don't know what else I can say beyond that. Even if some of the clues fit me, it wasn't me.

...for the record, if it WAS me, I would just not answer at all. But I'm telling you it's not me.

[infreefall]

[ nodding. honestly, there's just. guilt pulsing off of her for even suggesting it without further evidence, but ]

I just don't want you - or anyone - to look more suspicious later because we overlooked something while we still had time to check things.

[lionson]

[Oh no Ochako

Shiro had been short a moment ago, but he sighs and relaxes a bit.</small.] I understand. Check what you need to check. I'm not looking to hide anything here.

[evocationary]

It's not gonna be Alphonse, because he can't drink. The mug was empty. Like, that implies they drank, right?

[infreefall]

Mm, right. I don't think it's Elric-san either, but we should at least acknowledge it before discarding it, right?

[evocationary]

For sure, for sure, I agree with that line of thinking.

[horologia]

Why does it? They could have just ... poured it out somewhere.

If we're discussing how it might even be the same person who... put the gloves and signs everywhere, then they would have had plenty of time to do that, then come back and put it down.

[canned]

I do know about chemistry and biology, but a lot of the medicines and things here aren't like anything I've seen before. I only learned about painkiller pills when I came here, and didn't recognize that jar of medicine that was found at the pub, so I wouldn't be much help analyzing it.

[infreefall]

[ she smiles apologetically. ]

Right... I just don't want us to miss something because we didn't consider everything. I'm sorry, Elric-san.

[canned]

Oh, you don't have to apologize for asking me for help! I'm just sorry I haven't had time to catch up on all the new science here.
