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!

RESULTS

[sacredchants]

Well, looks like the results are in and Zuko, Dorothy, Lup, Taako, Claude, and Xie Lian are our best matches. The matches of the human variety instead of the animal sort, of course.

[ two different kinds of hooves and a froggy..... ]

[supremity]

[ continuing to not like xl being on these best match lists, ignore that he's making a bit of a face ]

Not that we can narrow down the animal sort that easily at the moment. [ Outside of going "nope that's not a horse." ] Thank you, Izumo.

[moondumplings]

[ hey so what if usagi just clings to hc for a bit so they both don’t lose their minds over xl ]

[supremity]

[ Actually? That's a great idea. Hua Cheng pulls her into his right side so he can get his arm around her, and they can just - stay like that, for a while. ]

[sacredchants]

[ yeah. things aren't great, are they? but she'll just power through. ]

I imagine that might be something easily done given that these are bound to be a result of item use.

[ ... ]

And you can use Amalie, if you're referencing my name.

[supremity]

[ a - snort, at that ]

Amalie and Xue Yu, then.

[ holy shit he's finally admitting to having lost his name after all this time ]

[canned]

Well, for footprints, there's probably a lot of people who were out there Thursday night and fell asleep.

From those six, if I remember... [and he counts them off on his metal fingies]

—Miss Dorothy, Claude, Mister Xie Lian, and...Ochako were at the beach.

—Then Zuko was at the boardwalk with you and Mister Soo-Won.

—And Miss Ruby and Mister Taako were at the pier.

So everyone on that list was in the area, although I think the prints were going from the beach to the boardwalk, right?

[evocationary]

Man, with how often I come up on these, it's wild that none of you have voted me to be removed.

[misstrust]

We're too fond of you, dear.

[evocationary]

[ that makes her laugh ]

Aw.

[lecarre]

Miss Ruby...! Don't say such things! [POUTS]

[evocationary]

Shh, it's fine. I told you everybody likes me too much to get rid of me.

[riegan]

Right?

(Lup...... why is the evidence out to get us all the time.)

[evocationary]

Curse our average feet!

[cuedoves]

Or me.

[ he comes up so much ]

[evocationary]

We like you too much, despite everything.

[uhhhmagic]

Weird that I am not
Do we not have same foot size?
Seems like a bad job

[evocationary]

You are definitely on there. You're one of the two fuzzy static names.

[lecarre]

Um... were they typical walking footprints...?

[She tilts her head a little.]

If so, I do not think they could be Miss Dorothy's. Her leg is still broken, after all. She wouldn't be able to walk normally.

[horologia]

... perhaps someone can go back and check the gait, if no one remembers?

[lecarre]

[Ange just nods quietly, looking Stressed.]

That is a good idea, if nobody remembers. I just... I do not want us to get this wrong... and there is still so much we do not understand about these murders.

[misstrust]

[ She waves her crutch at Ange. Thanks, kiddo. ]

[lecarre]

[small, sad smile at Dorothy.]

[sacredchants]

I wasn't there so I'm not sure. It would have to be whoever went to the beach.

[supremity]

Ruby was the one that stayed on the sand, but I'd be willing to go back and double check it if someone wants to head out there again.

[ More for Ange than Dorothy, because he's mad at Dorothy, which is petty but whaddya gonna do. ]
