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!

... I think that the loss of control is more likely than possession by the moon. We've never even heard of that happening up to this point - and we've had several cases where people felt they had to kill, but it was because of outside pressure. Or, a coercive item was involved.

...yeah, I don't... I don't think any of us are really in control of what's going on here. I don't think we ever have been.

I agree. We're hardly in control of anything, here.

[ frown. ]

With so little time left... What are you thinking, Will? It's your team that was so harshly impacted.

I...

[gods, don't ask him that?]

I'm thinking I want to find out what happened with Danny and Vane. We have a lot of clues for what happened with Ponta already. But we need answers about all three of them. Don't we?

You know me - I always seek the truth, for each case.

[ but he frowns, brows knitting further. ]

I think it's likely we know what happened to Danny. Vane is the outlier - there is a connection between him and Ponta. If Ponta was killed with the rubber bullet gun, and Vane had the same bruises, then Vane survived it.

So did the person who shot Ponta kill Vane?

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-11-05 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so, no. If what happened with Ponta was - what my team had talked about, then there shouldn't have been any reason to go after Vane afterwards, even if he was there.

[he shakes his head]

There still wouldn't have been any reason for that. It - there wouldn't be.
