Week 6: Trial

[becomemod]

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!

Uh... I'd say I'm decently sure, that unless someone specifically bought a gun from before the 20th century, it's probably going to be white.

[stunwhistle]

...right. Then anyone theoretically could have had access to this, so it being the more modern kind doesn't really help us narrow anything down.

[unsync]

I don't think you can just buy only gunpowder off of Amazoom though, so it's weird that it's just powder.

[stunwhistle]

Is there any way to get it out of a gun after you buy one? Or. The bullets, I guess?

[unsync]

The powder would be sealed inside of the casing, so you'd have to break open every single bullet in order to get it out, and even then, it wouldn't be a lot... let me ask the team really quick. I don't want to just write off being unable to buy gunpowder since nobody's really asked about that specifically yet.

[stunwhistle]

[he nods]

Good call. Thanks, Ryuki.

[unsync]

Ugh. Ox just told me you can potentially get pure gunpowder through... "recollection" or "memory lane".

[ It's evident that he thinks that's crazy but he doesn't run Amazoom. ]

[stunwhistle]

...great.

[unsync]

The one thing that might help is that because it's a recollection thing, it'd have to be someone who already knows about and has access to white gunpowder in their own world.

[stunwhistle]

...it'd narrow it down a little, then. Not a lot, but a little.

[unsync]

[ He just shrugs haplessly. He ain't got a comeback. ]

[stunwhistle]

Man, I am getting really sick of guns.

[oceanside is DEFINITELY in america based on the number of gun cases we've had tho]

[unsync]

[ U...S...A...! ]

[stunwhistle]

[U... S... A..............]

[inquired]

...Odd... I tried to order my concoction using the 'memory lane' function and it didn't work. Only the more expensive one did.

[ the recollection. ] I suppose because it's not a complete 'weapon'...?

[unsync]

In my opinion, straight up gunpowder is plenty "weapon"-like enough, but I guess I don't own the shop.

Either way, bottom line is that it's possible. But it probably was someone who knows how gunpowder works.

[inquired]

Indeed. Eliminate every possibility, and all.

[tongshi]

It's not hard to use plyers or something to open up bullets, but that's... tedious.

I'll check the photo I took for how much gunpowder there was at the booths.

[stunwhistle]

[he nods]

Thanks, Hung.

[tongshi]

[ flops his phone ]

Only a small amount, so I think it could be possible to have pried the bullets open. But, again, tedious.

I wonder what they were trying to burn with such a small amount... maybe a matching photo to the one of Danny being pulled out of the booth..? And the booths were collateral?

[floridas]

That'd make sense if you get caught in the photo... you wouldn't want to just out yourself.

[stunwhistle]

The booths usually take more than one picture at a time, I think, so that'd make sense.

[tongshi]

[ either they were trying to pull danny out or danny was trying to pull them in... stares at this photo myself, not hung. ]

Whoever it was, their arm was just in it. I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a closer look - if maybe there's any writing, or it was torn, or...

[ bonks forehead into her shoulder tiredly, horn over the curve of it ]

[floridas]

[ just reaches over and gently hugs his head :c... pets horn quietly for a sec. ]

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Maybe the other part of the set is somewhere... but...
