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!

SNAKE-WON

[sacredchants]

[ hello?? have some screaming??? A SNAKE IS SUDDENLY NOT A SNAKE AND SHE'S BEING CRUSHED BY A CORPSE?? or more like a corpse is crushing on of her injuries anD THAT FUCKING HURTS.

still. i...guess she will say words and not just scream (in pain). ]

S, SOO-WON...!

[reconnective]

[well. that's bad. he's nyooming over to a.) grab this damn corpse and b.) try to stand izumo up.]

Can somebody grab Izumo? [please make her sit. her leggy! once she's taken care of though he's going to just finagle soo-won toward the examination table so someone can look at his body.]

[canned]

Here, Sora, let me help you... [he also gets his arms under snakesoo-won to get him up on the table so Sora doesn't have to struggle with a corpse]

[reconnective]

[that's actually better because soo-won is very much taller than he is, so no objections!] Thanks a lot. [gratefully. it's a lot easier this way especially since...well.

this is a hard loss for a lot of people. they'll have to be there for them, too.]

[canned]

[he nods]

Make sure you're not touching any skin to yours. You know, after last week and all. And we'll want to be careful not to damage or change anything about it if we can.

[it's that tone swap, from gently towering Polite Boy to the harrowed analytical scientist]

[reconnective]

Right. That was...pretty bad. [and they're still not even sure why soo-won was a snake, so he's shifting his grip a little.] I just hope changing him to a snake and then changing him back didn't cause any damage either.

[...it's kind of sad to think about, actually.]

[supremity]

[ - hey what the FUCK

Well, at least they found Soo-won, we guess. Yay trauma!

Multiple people are going to react to this, so he's going to help pull Izumo back while hands reach for Soo-won. Here, Alphinaud. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ AHH?? AHHHH.

Yes he will be taking her back THANK YOU. ]

[sacredchants]

[ even if he is noodle, he is still alphi and that is enough. she cling.

but nope noPE NOPE. she's done for trial for a while because 1) pain & 2) wHAT A WAY TO FIND A BODY. ]

[supremity]

[ She gets a hand atop her head, as he watches Sora, Alphonse, and Zuko help with moving Soo-won. ]

Take however long you need. [ To the both of them, as he gets up, and Alphinaud gets a pat to the shoulder in parting. ] We'll take it from here.

[arcsplainist]

[ He nods, quickly turning his attention back to Izumo. ]

Are you all right? Come—take a seat over here.

[sacredchants]

[ she is DECIDEDLY not but she'll shake her head as she follows him (hobbles? gets half carried??) wherever he leads her to take a seat. ]

G...give me a little bit.

[arcsplainist]

[ Half carried... however that works. ]

As Hua Cheng said, take the time you need. Is there aught you require?

[sacredchants]

[ once she takes a seat, she'll just hold onto his hand to keep him near her. to stay.

there is a whole ass trial with three dead people but— ]

...just for a little while.

[arcsplainist]

... Certainly.

[ he will happily take her hand in his ]

[sacredchants]

[ thank....

she'll probably hold onto him until he leaves to go somewhere/on an investigation, which will definitely be enough time for her to get back into the fray and start contributing again. ]

[evocationary]

[ she - well, see. she was reasonably sure that was the case, but the confirmation, especially as she's in the middle of looking over chiron's body, really just.

she slowly takes the gloves off, and then walks across the room, away from everybody else, and hops the counter, slowly. she's fine, she's just going to be quiet and hide for a bit. wolf, cover for her?? she's not here, she's also a corpse. ]

[cuedoves]

[ zuko is also here for corpse grabbing snoo-won's thicc snass ]

[moondumplings]

[ well since the others got to izumo first, usagi will just be slowly sliding back to the floor, numb.

can’t react if you’ve checked out entirely....! ]

[chanteuser]

[ everyone else seems to have got to soo-won or izumo first, so... alex will just crouch down next to usagi and put a hand on her shoulder.

it's not okay! but ... y'know. they can deal with this now. ]

[moondumplings]

[ haha so touch just makes her aware again and whomp whomp that just makes her bury her face in her hands and curl up into a ball. she’s not going to react to anything for a little bit.

usagi has checked out of trial ]

[chanteuser]

[ heeey hey hey. alex is just going to sit with her and hug her for a bit. this is just her job today apparently, but at least she can leave calming the cyborg to emet for a while to focus on usagi. ]

[dianxias]

[ xie lian's there in a second when he's not checking the body, sinking down to his knees beside usagi and immediately reaching to pull her to his side in a hug.

his own reaction is muted, quiet - a flickered misery in his eyes before he turns his head and focuses on usagi, instead. ]
