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!

[ everyone brush your teeth. ]

... You know, I've always wondered if these scents lingered as a caveat of our cases. Logically, most people would think to clean themselves of it - but if they didn't, the course of nature would normally perhaps wipe them away. But here, such doesn't seem to be the case - after all, our evidence remains perfectly preserved from Thursday night to Saturday.

I suppose if someone purposefully attempted to rid themselves of it, it would vanish. But if someone didn't, or didn't think to, perhaps it would not? This is merely conjecture, mind.

Mm. I'd think that some of the smells would fade a lot faster than others, but in the end it's... [ gestures ] It lingers. It's all lingered for a while.

But it's weird, because tea oversteeps still. Maybe it being like that just tells us it wasn't freshly prepared before whatever timer kicks in on these crime scenes.
