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!

[ pretend he gave this info early i'm so :bunsweat: ]

Uh, went to the shooting range where there was one half of a pair of walkie-talkies out on the reception desk, other half wasn't anywhere that I could find. There was a locked closet out in that front area with some slashes in the wall next to it, but I couldn't figure out the combination at the time — it was five letters, I think? And shooting the lock didn't open it, so guess we're not gonna be able to get around that.

There was a gun missing from the gun stock room and a card taped to the door that said "a convenient gun"... and in the archery one there was a typed note in one of the quivers with the arrows — said "Aquamarine Artiste would never take revenge."

Out at the actual range, both some archery and gun targets had been set up and used. Seemed like whoever used it wasn't super skilled in archery, but pretty good with a gun — on one of the targets they'd hit the right shoulder, right arm, left thigh, and forehead... and a bunch of smaller holes around the left elbow for some reason?

Where they would've been standing to shoot there was a blood puddle, and there was a gun in that puddle, that smelled like... blood, orange soda, and plastic. There were some drops leading away from there, but we got shooed outta the place before we had a chance to see if those led to anything. So definitely need to go back there today.
