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!

That's the sentiment that I have, too.

[and he's going to come back with fingerprint results.]

Alyssa and Raven's prints are not on this mug. Given that we've used it a few times, we can print 8 more fingers. If we print everyone who was a best match for the gloves, there's 6 more people.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

[lionson]

I would say just pick from the list of possible suspects and keep going one at a time.

[evocationary]

Check Claude's against the mug too, I think? Just to make sure.

[recrowns]

You and Hansa seem to have the same idea so... I'll proceed. Claude, if I may borrow your hand?

[uhhhmagic]

Huh. So that means it's someone else then.

Is there a like, general size on the fingerprint? Maybe if it's small, we can focus on those hands for sure.

[recrowns]

I couldn't discern even what type of print it is, but I'll see if that's possible. It sounds like people want to check against Claude, so I'm going to do that next.

[robopriest]

So we know that this mug was used by the killer then, especially since Raven's isn't on it.

Maybe Claude? And I guess we could check the rest that fit the gloves...

[recrowns]

Is there a reason why we're suspecting Claude? I must've missed it.

[siblingless]

I have no objections, if that's what we'd like to do.

[Also...]

If Yona-san's gem is still an option, I believe we should save it for those who are suspects in Brick-san's death.

[supremity]

[ Now that there's more people between him and Claude, Hua Cheng pulls out his own lapis lazuli. ]

Should we find that there's more than one person to question, I'm also willing to part with mine to ensure we get the answers we need.

[assistance]

[ anyone standing by her will feel a swell of relief when soo-won says her name, followed by a hint of confidence.

"we can't rely on anyone's words and we'll have to look at our evidence and try to make sense of it." ]

[riegan]

(ACTUALLY.... very relieved)

[dianxias]

Going through the ones who fit the gloves.... perhaps we can take out the ones who have more fighting experience than others? Since that would not absolve them of anything.

That would leave Miss Ange and Miss Izumo for sure. Since we have so many prints, can we try those?

[lecarre]

[Yes, hello. Her eyes are wide, but she nods.]

Um... if it will help, I am willing to be fingerprinted.

[listen i'm assuming the victorian eras have figured out what this is from context.]

[lionson]

How many tries do we have left at this point?

[sacredchants]

If you want to check my hands for prints, then you're more than welcomed to. However, I'll say that it'll be a waste of the kit.

[recrowns]

Claude is also not a match. I'd like to request Jeanne, Fiora, Yoshizawa, Sora, Izumo, and Ange's hands if you would please.

[reconnective]

Yeah, sure. [here is a hand. it is his.]

[siblingless]

[Offering up her fingies!]

[discernments]

[ She offers her hand freely. ]

[lecarre]

Um, yes, all right!

[HERE SHE IS FOR FINGIES.]

[sacredchants]

[ have a hand.

but not to hold. ]

[discernments]

I'm fine with my fingers being printed, if you think it's necessary.

REDO

[recrowns]

After further examination, I'd like to request Taako, Alex, Dorothy, Lup, Elsa, and Zuko's hands.

UPDATE

[recrowns]

[a beat before he comes back.]

The print on the glass is Dorothy's.
