WEEK SIX: TRIAL

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!

[ taking a quick look at the evidence. ]

...The sword is Won's. He had it with him at curfew. The shield is Ochako's.

[ well. it's bucky's, but it's ochako's. ]

... 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.

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 ]

Someone had used it to stab through a stuffed animal, and that was it. The sword was not bloodied, nor did we find any signs of blood while searching.

A... stuffed animal?

[ ????? ]

I know not whether it was meant as a sign or had little reason behind it; the sword was hidden beneath a pile of more stuffed animals.

Um... well, yeah, it is kind of weird that Won is missing and his sword was like that. Maybe he did it and then hid the sword under a bunch of plush toys? If someone were chasing him...

Edited (i can't say he's dead yet) 2020-11-14 17:59 (UTC)

Can you think of why he would hide it? Were he being chased, 'tis peculiar that he would discard his one means of defense.

[ she looks. a little amused by that. ]

Ahah... I wouldn't assume everyone here only has one weapon. It seems more likely to me that he used the sword specifically because we could identify it as his—he's an archer, but the arrows are harder to track, right? Since so many people found them at those old ruins.

[ anyway. ]

Did you bring back any of the plushes? It'd be easier to tell if it meant anything if we could see the scene better.

You raise a valid point—I apologize, for I should know better.

[ but... anyway.... ]

... Nor had I thought to do so. Another grave oversight on my part. There were many thrown about in a rather large mess.

Don't beat yourself up too much. Can you just tell us more details about the scene for now?

[ see al's question, etc. ]

[ Well! Now that we know who the snake is! Time to drop this in here. ]

... I believe I should begin with mentioning where that snake had been found—within a different pile of stuffed animals nearby to where we had located the sword.

[ looking at the tiger plush stuff he told al, looking back here... ]

So there were more plushes? Can you tell us about all the ones you found?

[ is she just avoiding going to the boardwalk herself? perhaps. ]

What kind of stuffed animal was it stabbed through...?

[not for cute purposes! it just might be significant!]

And, did it look like it was stabbed through it on purpose, then hidden?

A tiger. There was also a bear and a skunk within the pile that were damaged, but aside from that, it did not appear to be a deliberately made pile...

Um...that seems like a pretty clear message to Tiger and their team, doesn't it? [a Rude message]

[ ..... ]

Yeah, it does. Especially if Won is the one who stabbed it.

[ —? ]

You would know why?

...Let's say he used his sword to stab a particular plush, then buried it in a bunch of other dolls so it wouldn't be found.

[ she sounds very sure that it's his sword. ]

Why would he stab a tiger doll?

No, Alphonse is correct that it could very well be a message. I simply would not know why he would send one to a particular team... and one that could be taken as threatening, at that.

To point to someone. Either a target, or his attacker, right?

Precisely!

Won knew a lot of people's teams.
