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!

[ dumps some of the water he brought to chiron on her head ]

[he's

going to place a hand on zuko's shoulder even if it's going to zap them both]

[ zap!!! ]

... It's to wake her up.

I know.

[and he pulls away - his emotions are a bit hard to ready. murky, clouded, before he seems to store them away in a box]

But I wish you would be more careful.

[ it's hard to tell what zuko's feeling -- it's just a big mess of emotions. ]

... It's not dangerous.

[bruh.

I mean Chiron can't say shit bc he immediately dragged his bow closer to him, but--]

[ look if someone tries to touch her they zap her?? this is a less painful way ]

[ Okay I guess she's just going to cough herself awake??

??????? ]

[he's going to offer her a t-shirt to dry herself off

and settle in front of her]

Dorothy, did you kill Raven?

[ Dorothy blinks at him, completely disoriented and still very bleary.

But as the question sinks in, there's genuine shock. ]

What? No.

[he nods and seems to accept this

but it's hard to tell what his emotions are, neatly closed away in a box]

Someone may be trying to frame you.

... Frame me... how? I didn't kill him. I liked him...

[ She's really having a hard time focusing, though she appears to be making an effort. ]

I know.

But there's a fingerprint on a glass and it's yours - which might imply that someone also knew that you were in the pub and borrowed your finger for it.

...

Were there any others...? Prints?

One other but we couldn't discern it.

Do you know whose it could be?

Quick, Dorothy, what team are you?!

... Team?

[ TAAKO SHE IS LIKE FIVE SECONDS AWAKE AND WET ]

Good morning.

[ frowning heavily!!! ]

Your fingerprints were found.

[ this explains nothing zuko ]

[ that really explains nothing, and Dorothy pushes a hand into her (wet) hair, frowning in return. ]

Where?

Dorothy-san.

[He looks a little distraught.]

Something happened. . . we found your fingerprints on a glass. But I don't really want to vote for you, either.

.. On a glass...

[ ...? ]

I mean... I was drinking with everyone, at the pub... why wouldn't they be on a glass?

But it was the glass next to the one Raven-san was drinking.

[He seems really distressed.]

I don't want to make a mistake.

I'm sorry, I... [ She closes her eyes. ]

I drank with him, but it was earlier...

When we first came here, you were so kind to me. Even though I was scared, I felt right at home with you.

[This all seems very irrelevant, but. It seems to resolve something for him.]

So I want to believe in you. And I don't want to choose your name.

It's okay. It's okay, Shigeo.

She's going to be okay.
