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!

[inquired]

I agree. Tama, you can use it on me, if we check. I'm sure you can come up with something.

[ Catholic Repression ]

[ballies]

What's the one thing you would never, ever want to do? Punch someone? Punch me?

[ WHY VIOLENCE ]

[inquired]

You think I wouldn't hit someone?

[ have you seen him with his staff ]

Take off my clothing publicly, for a start.

[ballies]

Without your little bonking staff. A good old boxing slug. [ ... ] Then again, good point. You're violent for a priest.

[inquired]

By the Sacred Flame, sometimes violence is the answer.

[ uwu ]

At any rate, I trust you to be creative.

[tongshi]

[ thinks about temenos throwing a punch and wonders if he'd hurt his knuckles if he did ]

[inquired]

[ thinking about that aeber's reckoning i tried that did 8000 damage compared to throne's 40K ]

[unsync]

She can ask me to tell her I hate her.

[inquired]

[ oh my god. ]

Oh, little lamb. What a charming answer.

[ CUTE ]

[unsync]

[ He doesn't understand why it's charming. ]

I mean... I don't. And after everything we've been through, hurting Tama, either her feelings or physically is the last thing I'd want to do in the universe.

[ballies]

[ we have like no time so she's teleporting to get the drum and using it. ]

Okay. Uh... tell me that you really hate me! Put feeling into it! Get mad about it!

[unsync]

[ No I'm kidding. After a moment, his face twists like he really dislikes this, but -- ]

I hate you, Tama. You're the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

[ And then pretty much as soon as it comes out, he takes it back so fast. ]

I don't mean that at all!

[ballies]

[ WELL. OW. THAT STILL STINGS EVEN IF SHE DID ASK FOR IT.

she just flops forward to rest her head on his shoulder. ]

And there you have it. It absolutely can be used to make people do things they never would do normally.

[unsync]

Sorry...

[ He knows they asked for it but that really actually was like, the worst feeling in the world for him. Second-only to actually hurting her. ]

Uh... as for feelings-wise -- I wasn't forced to believe that what I was saying was true, or like I was brainwashed. It was more like an absolute compulsion to do it.

[ballies]

Don't apologise, I really just made you do that.

[ oh gross. she pulls a face. ]

So, you're aware the whole time, you just have this insane compulsion to go along with it despite that? [ ... vane :( ]

[unsync]

...Yeah. I think so... I still distinctly felt that I didn't want to, but I also felt like I had to.

[ballies]

[ ohhhh my god she hates that. so much. she just reaches for a squeezes his hand. ]

Sorry, Ryuki.

[unsync]

I'm not the one to be saying sorry to.

[ He's thinking about Vane. Anyway, holds her hand. ]

[ballies]

Whoever did this had better apologise to Vane when they see him or else I'll find them and make them do it in the most embarrassingly public way possible.

[ angy. ]

But I did that to you, so.

[unsync]

You know I don't mean it.

[ballies]

I know you don't.

[selfdestructs]

[ she supports tama in this ]
