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!

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.

[axecessory]

[ ochako... she looks pretty sad about this but such is life in murder games. ]

Um... I guess the other group found the ferris wheel? That sounds like Ochako's dinosaur, and her shield was over at the boardwalk too, so I think we can safely connect those scenes, yeah?

[uhhhmagic]

Maybe. Seems like it was a busy place, considering.

[Three body tables.]

[arcsplainist]

[ He is likewise grimacing at the mention of Ochako... :( ]

Aye, 'tis safe to assume she had made her way through the stalls that night. As did someone el—

[ he stops himself short, then: ]

Her dinosaur. I know not whether she had used it previously or not, but I wonder if she had put it to use while in the area. It certainly appeared as though something barreled through.

[uhhhmagic]

I don't think the Dinos work anymore - no more embiggening. So probably not that.

[axecessory]

[ she nods in agreement. ] Yeah, couldn't be the dinosaurs. But, um... I mean, couldn't some people have done that sort of damage themselves this week?

[ just saying. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ me forgetting dinosaurs had a time limit........... closes eyes ]

—Ah, that is correct. The damage done could not have been done by one person on their own... normally. But do we know in how many ways the items we own could change someone?

[axecessory]

[ pets anais ]

Does it have to be an item, necessarily?

[arcsplainist]

[ he's trying to think... and so am i. ]

What think you? I can imagine little else at our disposal which made it possible.

[axecessory]

Mm. Sorry, I'm not going to explain as much if you don't know.

[ she trusts he'll be able to figure it out if he has the right pieces. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ he frowns ]

Is this truly the time to be keeping information to yourself?

[axecessory]

Depends on the info!

[ anyway she walks away. time to go hang out with someone else. bye! ]

[arcsplainist]

[ fuckin' wow ]

[discernments]

... Alphinaud.

[ She sounds a little tired. He may recognize this tone. ]

If you cannot piece it together, come see me after.

[arcsplainist]

[ he does and i am crying. i am never not sleeping through another trial again.

A response does not come immediately. He thinks... some more. It would appear Jeanne's I'm Sick Of Your Shit, Alphinaud(tm) tone was hint enough, because a realization suddenly dawns on him. ]

... Oh.

[uhhhmagic]

Potentially.

[Adjusting his braid.]

'Course you'd have to know what everyone's thing is.

[dianxias]

[ xie lian turns around and pulls his straw hat with one hand, so anyone can look inside - in the big space of the hat, there is the velociraptor, which is chilling in a nap pile with xie lian's ankylosaurus. it's still in its kigu! ]

Kyoneko has been with me since yesterday.

[discernments]

I'm afraid my knowledge of guns is a bit lacking, too, but it seems someone or multiple someones decided to employ them.

It seems the Boardwalk was a well-traveled place when we were all asleep.

[ She closes her eyes briefly at the mention of Ochako. ]

... I hope it was at least quick for Ochako.

[uhhhmagic]

Seems that way. Kinda busy - though, I guess there's not that many places to go murdering anymore?
