Week 6: Trial

week 6:

 

trial

════════ ⋆ ★ 15 DOODZ REMAIN ★ ⋆ ════════

Rise and shine. The sirens that filled the streets on Friday have died down, allowing you to spend the morning peacefully despite the news. It isn't until 11 AM that an alarm goes off on everyone's phone, citing a reminder for the trial taking place at the courthouse at noon. It turns off soon, but pops back up every ten minutes to ensure that you don't forget.

Shortly before 12 PM, all heroes feel a compulsion to head to the courthouse, where the staff direct you to one of the courtrooms reserved for the day's events. Attendance is mandatory, it seems, and once everyone has arrived, the doors close and lock behind them.

Yesterday's investigation was only the beginning. The real work begins now.

════════ ⋆★⋆ ════════

Welcome to your week one trial! Over the next nine hours, characters will have the chance to investigate, and theorize about the murders, as well as examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations with NPC permission. As you gather evidence and discuss, we encourage you to revisit the investigation post to refamiliarize yourselves with the events of Friday morning.

There will be a mod-tag break between 5 PM EST / 2 PM PST to 6 PM EST / 3 PM PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

To vote for a culprit, head over to the voting page! Voting is mandatory in this game, so please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST.

Good luck, heroes!

Yeah?

[ ...Wait. ]

...You think that whoever had that would still have that scent on them somehow?

[ Like, you know. ]

[tongshi]

[ HEAVES A SIGH ]

I... don't super love this. But. I guess I could smell people to see if there's any juice smells lingering anywhere.

[unsync]

C-can... can I just also point out that it's been two days.

[ Like, before we make Hung start sniffing people's breaths. ]

[squelching]

[nodding. help.]

Most people brush their teeth...

[tongshi]

I didn't mean just their breaths, but I really just. Hope people are brushing their teeth.

[ does not look at the slumbering rita very pointedly when he says this ]

[unsync]

Well... you're the one who'd be suffering the most here, so...

[tongshi]

[ sighs heavily ]

No, I think... at this point, those remaining would be smart enough to not leave behind something so obvious. Especially when the puzzles we have are so thorough.

[odoruhinokaze]

[ GANBA HUNG... ]

Yeah. Well, might as well. 'specially since we're running out of ideas here.

[tongshi]

[ shrugs helplessly. he's going to keep looking at evidence otherwise because it's about all he can do rn. ]

[odoruhinokaze]

[ That's about a mood, actually ]

[stunwhistle]

...I'm pretty sure people would've brushed their teeth by now, man.

[tongshi]

You say this. And, god, I hope this. But.

[ our rita ]

[rizomata]

[ excuse you, she brushes her teeth. she just doesn't shower. ]

[stunwhistle]

...there's a lot of things we could check, right? Like - I guess scents, but I really, really hope people have been brushing their teeth. The sizes of the other things we found. Do we need to take a closer look at some of the evidence?

[tongshi]

You and me both. [ mumbled ] Maybe the things that were brought back later in the trial, or the gear again...

[stunwhistle]

There's gotta be something we've overlooked.

[resumed]

[ makes a face. ]

Gross.

[tongshi]

[ makes the face back ]
