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!

CHECK #1

[personal profile] tongshi 2023-11-04 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ comes back with his list for the initial check. ]

Okay, from the Fox dorm prints... the closest matches and maybe's.

For the larger set of prints: myself, Will, Vane, and Mr. Are'bal.

For the smaller set of prints: Saya and Rita are the closest. Nimona's feet are a few inches bigger.

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-11-04 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[his brow furrows at that.]

The larger prints... they're probably Vane's, right? Was there blood on his shoes?
inquired: (193)

[personal profile] inquired 2023-11-04 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
There was, yes.
stunwhistle: (093)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-11-04 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So those are probably his. But the smaller set doesn't make sense to me.

[personal profile] inquired 2023-11-04 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's likely.

[ though not 100%, but nothing ever is. ]

As for the smaller set... What was the path of these footprints, again?

We can check the tread of his shoes against the prints, if they're clear enough.

The smaller prints are confusing, though. Saya would just get it over with, and Rita... she just came back from a really bad trip. I couldn't see her doing it.

[ pazu is also OOCly spotty/mostly out. ]

Is it someone impersonating another person?
stunwhistle: (093)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-11-04 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...could be. I mean, even if you've got significantly bigger feet - you can kind of shove your feet into a smaller pair of shoes and then just have your heels over the backs of them. It's not comfortable, but it'd have your heels raised up off the ground so you wouldn't leave a mark there, and if you're just planting evidence you wouldn't have to do it for long.

[ looks at me killing in suites. yeah! exactly! ]

The gait might be a little weird if that were the case, but it'd at least maybe explain some things. Especially with all these weird puzzles and stuff going on.

[ dislike. ]

Something to keep in mind, at least. Thanks. I think that means at some point...maybe Vane really was standing on his own? Or someone had him propped up.

Maybe someone smaller helping him for the last few steps he could take..?

[ but, again. OOCly pazu is not really here and ICly he doesn't think either her or saya would do this. ]
resumed: (neutral ♕ among the dead)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-11-04 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It's entirely possible that the prints were faked somehow, too. The real trouble is all of us are asleep the whole time. It wouldn't be hard to...you know. Steal someone's shoes from their feet, use them for a murder, and then put them back on the sleeping person or something.
