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!

I've been thinking about this. That there were three of them, and how that seemed unusual unless they were all connected somehow. Otherwise that's a lot of people to suddenly all be awake and not run into each other on accident.

[stunwhistle]

...it does seem. Pretty weird, yeah. I know it's a big city but there were only six places for us to check...

[resumed]

I think our problem right now too is we don't know a real timeline. We're not sure who died first. [ grumbling under his breath: ] Although if I had my powers, I could help with that.

The lack of different places and the overlap we have found is almost evidence in and of itself.

[stunwhistle]

I just... I don't get it. I still don't get why so many of them are dead.

[resumed]

I wish I had an answer. This was so excessive, especially if Vane was connected to all three.

[stunwhistle]

[he nods at that]

...yeah. It really was.

[resumed]

[ hm. just kissing his forehead briefly. ]

...they're going to examine Ponta's body. And then maybe we'll get a clue where everyone started compared to where they ended.

[stunwhistle]

[he nods]

...yeah, that should help get a better idea of what happened.

[resumed]

[ he will resume scritching at his scalp with his claw gently while listening to the theorizing and watching feet results and etc. ]

[stunwhistle]

[he will just tiredly cling to him because he's codependent i guess]

[tongshi]

Especially with so much overlap.

Do we want to see if the laser tag getups match them..? I guess size comparison - we're already checking footprints.

[unsync]

I'm already on it.

[ Not ICly but gives you OOCly thumbs up. ]

[tongshi]

[ :v: go lowe go ]

Thanks, Mr. Ryuki.

[unsync]

[ Have some laser gear results! ]

[resumed]

[ nods in ryuki. ]

Sounds like we're having similar thoughts.

[inquired]

[ nod nod ]

Yes - and we've evidence of three in a few places. Nimona's theory about a potential party together could be possible, particularly when we consider the aforementioned quota.

I suppose we will need to investigate Ponta's body to begin to put together a timeline and try and lay this theory out in its possibilities.

[resumed]

I agree that's a distinct possibility. For all we know, a party started together, hit betray on each other, and then...that was that. I doubt anyone would expect it to backfire that badly.
