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!

FINGIES...

[evocationary]

Hey, so uh - there are four fingerprints on this shield, like - which of these are Alphinaud and Claude, you guys are the ones who found it? Any suggestions on which ones to grab?

[ she's gonna just hold it out with gloves on. y'all. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[Uh, just going to do charades instead. He wants to look at the shield? To see if any of the prints make more sense.]

[evocationary]

[ for sure, she like... shows him the whole thing. ]

I will also take suggestions on which one to take in general, honestly, so I'm not the one ruining everything all on my own!

[uhhhmagic]

[He comes back, shrugs and then:]

Prints all over the shield
Here is what I would go for
Just based on sheer luck

[Pointing to print set #1. Lucky #1, right?]

[evocationary]

Allllrighty, guess that's as good as I'm gonna get.

[riegan]

(Coming over to look at the shield!!)

We were trying to pull it out so... (He holds out his hands and tries to show how he grabbed it?) Like this and around the edges. I guess our finger prints would be on one side and our palms on the other?

(THAT'S ALL HE HAS... sorry Lup. :()

[evocationary]

Makes sense. I mean, like hell would I be able to remember which part I pulled it out on. That's better than I could've described.

[riegan]

Yeah, sorry... With so many options, maybe we should try something else besides the shield.

(...)

The sword, maybe?

[canned]

Hmm, if there were different prints on it besides Mister Soo-Won's, that might be a clue...

[riegan]

I brought it so mine would be on it but at least Alphinaud didn't handle it.

[horologia]

If we think it might have been wielded by anyone other than Soo-won-san himself, perhaps... but I thought we mostly agreed he may have been trying to send a message with it?

[riegan]

Possibly. It depends on when he was turned into a snake. If he hid it before, there's probably no point in checking but if it was after, someone else might have moved it.

[arcsplainist]

[ ... Man, he is not great at this evidence thing, is he? (In his defense, ye oldes don't have fingerprint kits.) ]

Unfortunately, I do not have any. It would not be possible for me to point out where I had grabbed it.

[evocationary]

[ definitely in his defense ]

Nah, that's fair.

[arcsplainist]

My apologies, Ruby.

[evocationary]

Shoosh, nerdlord. Not your fault. [ she ruffles his hair! ]

[arcsplainist]

[ WHY the hair EVERY TIME ]





... "Nerdlord"?

[evocationary]

[ because it's the most sibling thing she can do and you have been SO little brotherzoned, alphinaud ]
