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!

[ she nods, vaguely sheepishly ]

I didn’t want to be outside.

[arkitect]

It is not.

[sacredchants]

[ let her have this ]

Of course, though some more promptly than others.

[chanteuser]

I'm her roommate this week, and I've told you where I was. If that helps for confirmation.

[horologia]

[ saying something seems self-important and takes valuable time away from them, not saying anything means they live with it. it's fine. ]

[axecessory]

[ ... ]

Can I check out room... Lyra? Whatever Won's room is. [ was. ]

Boardwalk (rides)

[uhhhmagic]

Weeee went to the theme park bit of the boardwalk. I think the big thing is the Ferris wheel was gone? It was just gone.

Um, then next, there was an empty bottle of painkillers near the front of the rollercoaster.

On the carousel there was some bits of a . . . gun? Like, the barrel and the gun sight. I’m Fantasy, so I’m not sure I should know what those are, but we’re going with it.

We had a lot of fun in the funhouse, and then outside the House of Mirrors there was a velociraptor in a kitty cat suit, lookin’ pretty sad. Inside a bunch of mirrors where all damaged, and some were shot. There was some blood splatter on the floor and a PHS.

Theeeen we found the body - er, Ochako’s body on the roof.

[reconnective]

[he's just here and nodding but...he's also placing a hand on usagi's shoulder for support. man you've had a rough weekend already, haven't you.]

[evocationary]

[ she takes it off, and checks... if there are pockets? are there pockets. what's in it.

if not, she'll check his torso, and his arms for marks or scratches or anything. ]

[sacredchants]

Fair enough.

[ also given the track record of being outside... ]

[discernments]

I'd like to go as well.

[arcsplainist]

... Hm. Though that would make Soo-Won rather suspicious, he is currently missing, correct? There were no signs of it being used to injure, but—there had to be a reason for its presence.

[sacredchants]

It does.

[dianxias]

Perhaps Soo-won could be in the ferris wheel, especially if it's difficult to climb...?

[ a beat, and then, he scratches his cheek. ] I will confess - I don't really know about the RSVP, either. If I can figure out what has happened, that may help to narrow down to whom it might belong.

...That being said, I haven't been feeling particularly different today, yet...? I did want to see Miss Dorothy last night, but she is my friend, and I like to see her often.

[ he gives a bow, fist pressed to his hand. ] But, please, if you have questions to ask me, you have my full cooperation - if there is anything at all I can do to help, I want to.

[discernments]

[ Usually, she'd be happy at the mention of a dolphin, but Jeanne only nods. ]

I am relieved you both were not hurt.

Were they arrows he made, or were they arrows like that could be found in the ruins from a few weeks ago? Also, what kind of strange prints?

BEACH.......2!

[supremity]

Ruby and I were on the other end of the beach. There were footprints, as well as numerous pieces of evidence from gunfire, bullets, and and some part of a gun - and an intact gun, hidden in a sand castle. I don't think much of that remains, but it was a rather tall sand castle, from what I could make out before Ruby found the gun in it.

[ There's a beat, because he saved this part so that people might brace themselves. ]

What I'm going to guess was Chiron's golden bow was at the shoreline in the surf, and a PHS was a little further out in the actual water. If not for the waves disturbing where Chiron was, much further out, I don't think we would have found him, and Goat was able to help us bring him back.

[horologia]

I know that when I picked up mine towards the end of that week, just about everything else had already been cleaned out. I wouldn't doubt that a decent number of us might have had them in their possession.

[ that or someone's hoarding them all like some sort of gun dragon. ]

[axecessory]

I don't think he was out to hurt anyone that night. [ she sounds pretty sure. people being armed on thursdays is... not that weird, considering. ] What sort of condition was it in when you found it?

[ how can he say it wasn't used to injure, etc ]

LYRA

[retellers]

[ They have to walk because Fox can't teleport. Anyway, here they are. Go wild. ]

[retellers]

[ what was even the point of having character journals when i can't use them because switching is a pain :pensive: ] All right. [ off they go! ]

[arcsplainist]

[ he raises an eyebrow ]

You—you think someone would use an item in that way? ... I suppose it would make going through with a murder easier, but...

[discernments]

I believe you will have to ask someone who surfs for more details.

[ She looks at Taako. ]

[retellers]

[ Her corpse is so cute!

Less cute: the bullet hole in her head. ]

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy shakes her head, from where she's chilling close to him. ]

Sorry, I haven't the foggiest who would have put our names either or for what purpose.

But I can't say I'm happy about it.

[supremity]

[ hm? ]
