WEEK SIX: TRIAL

[retellers]

WEEK SIX: TRIAL (22 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: Please go to the Emporium at 12. 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. Wolf speaks. "Nine hours. You know what to do." ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Hello, everyone, and welcome to the seventh 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!

[ after they've confirmed that zuko is in fact alive, hilda looks... annoyed? she smiles very thinly before asking a question: ]

Hey. Does anyone know which flower turns people into llamas?

[riegan]

(LOOKS AWAY............)

[chanteuser]

[ looks directly at claude ]

[riegan]

(ALEX PLEASE)

[chanteuser]

[ just keeps lookin' ]

[riegan]

Alright, so I used it on Teach on Monday. Tried to get it out of the way so it could wear off early.

[arkitect]

[just. exactly this face.]

[chanteuser]

Yes, he told me.

[supremity]

[ pinches in the side, don't even ]

[riegan]

Ouch!

(He jumps?! STOP DONT LOOK AT HIM)

[supremity]

[ STOP ACTING SKETCHY THEN? ]

Claude.

[riegan]

(He already confessed to Alex because something about a woman dead ass staring at him like that fills him with immense fear.)

[arkitect]

Unfortunately, all that I know is that one of them was used on Archer.

[hi, he sounds annoyed at the mention of this too. his horse llama.]

[axecessory]

[ HIS HORSE LLAMA... poor chiron has had a time. ]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. That two of them were used early this week.

[arkitect]

Then you believe the last one to be potentially relevant...?

[what are you thinking, hilda.]

[axecessory]

[ she smiles. ]

Oh, it's hardly relevant now, but I think Won was stepped on by a llama.

[canned]

Like by accident when he was a snake?? [that's very sad??]

[arkitect]

...I see. That may merit further thought, then, if you have a mind to continue.

[it might be too late for today, but. there was the weird oval... he definitely agrees she might be on to something there.]

[arcsplainist]

... A summer dahlia.

[axecessory]

Oh, I see!

[ she just nods. ]

I wonder which flower puts people to sleep? What a weird time to use it... After so many of us already must've voted.

[horologia]

Perhaps they wanted to use it to follow this week's rule, after several of us mentioned it this trial?

But I agree, it's strange timing.

[arcsplainist]

[ he sighs ]

I know not, but Zuko did agree to have a flower used on him.

RESULTS

[retellers]

[ The Leaders are just hanging out? Listen, no one got poisoned on their watch and Zuko lived, so they win again. ]

[ Once everyone has inputted their votes in their PHS and the clock strikes nine, there is a notification on everyone's PHS. There's a pop up that reads: ]

Hua Cheng received votes.

Dorothy Macbean received the most votes. They are guilty. They will be removed from the Realm.

[ Fox steps forward. ]

... As usual, you have one hour. Spend it however you wish.

[ Please allow Dorothy to respond to this thread before yeeting a reply! ICly, the other characters will be allowed to speak with them for an hour before the Leaders will escort them to a door hidden away behind the counter of the Emporium that leads to an employee lounge.

Additionally, the Leaders will still not be available for audiences tonight. ]

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy just-- stands there, leaning against her crutches for a thoughtful moment. ]

... Please take care of Ange. And if you wish to speak to me about the method or the motive for murder, don't. I don't have an obligation to explain any of it, and I would rather leave that to him at a later date.

[ And she turns to the Leaders. She's not interested in lingering, it seems. ]

I'm ready to go now.

[ BYEEEEEEEEEEEE. ]

[retellers]

[ And so the Leaders, as per Dorothy's request, escort her to her makeshift jail!

Bye. ]
