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!

[ Hua Cheng comes from where he's setting up the usual corner for the strip check, chest bumping into the back of Xie Lian's shoulder as he gravitates into him, too. All up in his space, like usual. ]

Nothing seemed strange as of Thursday night, but perhaps it'll be more apparent today, if it'll happen, and if Ochako wrote the note after midnight.

[dianxias]

[ xie lian smiles up at him when he does, briefly! ]

I don't know how long these strange curses last... At least it's not related to kissing this time.....

[supremity]

It shouldn't be. And we can't say for certain what effects this one might have, anyways. Not without the instructions.

[dianxias]

Or figuring it out on our own...

[ he. looks at dorothy. ?????? ] But I think it would be wise to check everyone's invitations as the night goes on. We could at least narrow it down that way - and try to figure out the ones of the Removed as well....

At least it does not seem yet to be a hindrance. [ he patpats hua cheng on his remaining arm. ] It will be alright.

[supremity]

If you don't feel anything particularly amiss...

[ They can't even prove if it was Ochako's RSVP because they don't? Have a reference for her handwriting? ]

We'll add that to our list to check, though. Even if their time limit has hit, it's still worth looking into, to perhaps narrow down something. We need to take stock of what items people still have after this busy week, anyways.

[sacredchants]

[ hc and xl your lack of personal bubbles... that said. ]

Why would you think she would have written anything? Was it to be like what happened with Hikaru?

[supremity]

It's a guess, but en - that's the basis of it. Especially given that it was found so close to Bucky's shield. [ Despite the lack of personal bubbles, he's a little somber as he continues. ] Hikaru left behind notes, and Ochako is the type that would do the same.

It wouldn't hurt to compare the handwriting to the memory book, if the handwriting is a match for any in there.

[sacredchants]

[ oh that's a whole ass mood. but with his suggestion, she's just going to hobble over there without a word before coming back. sometimes it's more efficient to go do something before answering? ]

It doesn't look like it. Then again, not all of us wrote in the memory book right?

I'm not sure if you want to throw out the possibility to use to narrow anyone down yet or not.

[ because of red herrings and all?? ]

[supremity]

[ We're all just - sad bitches. Hua Cheng can wait for her to come back, because she's a smart and proactive girl, even if she probably shouldn't be hobbling around.

At least she comes back before finding Soo-won. rip Izumo. ]

My handwriting is garbage, so I didn't write anything, myself. We can't expect everyone to do it.

[ pfffbbb. ] Let's hold onto it for now, but not let it distract us too much.

[sacredchants]

[ SHE HAS A CRUTCH NOW. ...not that it helped her any when a body was suddenly dropped on her and took herself out of the fuckin trial for x amount of time. ]

I can't say that what I wrote was helpful.

[ defaced? she defaced her page. ]

But, right, once we get a better idea of possible people could have done this we can circle back around.
