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!

Hangman's going terribly, thanks!

[he never wants to do puzzles again]

...the notes seem. Weird. [his brow furrows] But didn't someone find a card about "bare hands"?

[inquired]

Yes - and one with revenge, too, if I recall correctly. A female voice would be "Diva", no?

[stunwhistle]

I guess so...? That'd make sense.

[ballies]

Great!

[ puzzle monday coming up! ]

You think they're connected? Like... the woman's talking about getting revenge with her bare hands. If we have a bare hands card, do we have a female card and then does that mean we should group them together?

[stunwhistle]

That's how logic puzzles work, so... maybe? ...but this is an actual murder, not a game. So.

[he shrugs uselessly.]

[ballies]

If it's mean to be a clue, maybe that's what we need to be doing. Figuring it out.

Why so many puzzles, all of a sudden...?

[stunwhistle]

...Saya mentioned a puzzle curse. But, it wasn't on the list we got at the start of the trial.

[ballies]

A puzzle curse making people put down puzzles during a murder is... a lot.

[stunwhistle]

It really is.

[unsync]

[ You think someone would DO that? Put a game inside of our game? ]

[stunwhistle]

[someone'd have to be a real sociopath to do that...]
