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!

[for wolf this probably is normal so he says nothing about that and instead he'll answer from inside the stall.]

I'm okay! [probably going to be bruised as shit but that's a later problem. instead, he will get up and work his way out of the stall, hopping over debris to join alphinaud.

don't mind him idly checking some of the lower pods again, as if checking that nothing was stuck under them, etc.]

[retellers]

[ inside the pods and under the pods is........

absolutely nothing. they're completely empty. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ every single pod? ]

[reconnective]

[well...they tried! and now they ruined the boardwalk so that's cool that's fine. he'll let alphy check every single other pod, he did his work here.]

[retellers]

[ they are all empty. all of them. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ welp ]

Hm...

[ What about the "bottom" of it where it's broken off the base? Are we looking at a dead end here ]

[reconnective]

[...yup. still just letting alphinaud do his checks. it looks pretty empty from where he's at and there's only so much he can do before they start overlapping so go forth.]

Anything?

[retellers]

[ plays a sad violin for nothingness

though the base doesn't seem to be broken off per se? more like it. absolutely didn't land on its base. so the entire thing was moved? ]

[arcsplainist]

[ It just. Moved. Huh. ]

... We may be looking in the wrong place, Sora. Should we check its original spot?

[reconnective]

...I guess? But I wonder if we'll find anything there when the wheel itself looks...y'know. Not damaged. [hmm....] But if you think it's worth it, we can take a quick look as long as Wolf doesn't mind.

[sir, your opinion? he cares about it a lot.]

[retellers]

[ Wolf shrugs, eloquently.

you're welcome ]

[arcsplainist]

[ Then onwards! To the base of the ferris wheel...

Once they're there, since it's just a walk—does it also look here like a wheel was just... removed. Anything otherwise off? ]

[reconnective]

[if alphinaud's looking where the wheel used to be, he'll just do a sweep of the nearby area.]

[retellers]

[ There used to be a wheel! Now there isn't. That's about it for the area around the ferris wheel. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ bruh. what.

Alphinaud looks at Sora. ]

There is simply... nothing?

[reconnective]

Yeah. Looks like it. [a one-shouldered shrug.] Guess we should head back and report that? It could still mean something to someone.

[retellers]

[ Wolf is on standby to see if they wanna go back just kind of. looking around.

he hadn't seen the missing ferris wheel just the actually found one ]

[arcsplainist]

That it could. In that case—

Wolf, we shall be returning now.
