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!

...OK, well, for what it's worth, according to my consolation prize for our trip from the other day, that gun with the rubber bullets is what killed Ponta. I guess maybe if one happened to hit his head just right...??

[odoruhinokaze]

Then it'd be enough to cause what happened with his head, you mean?

[doghouse]

Yeah, probably.

[odoruhinokaze]

...Yeah, I can definitely see that. It'd make a lot of sense.

[inquired]

[ ..... ]

One of the witness statements states 'the victim did not die of stabbing, drowning, or strangulation'. That aligns to that statement, so we can assume that is true.

[doghouse]

[ nods...



he has no idea if this actually helped clarify anything ]

[inquired]

[ ... he makes a gesture for datz to cmere for a whisper. ]

[doghouse]

[ nods... ]

[inquired]

...If that's the case, my initial conjecture wasn't far off base.

[ he looks. unhappy about it, though. ]

We've fifteen minutes.

[doghouse]

Yeah, uh.

[ takes a deep breath and exhales. ]

Shit. OK. What are we doing?

[inquired]

What's going to be the worst possible outcome?

[doghouse]

Uh... Someone gets really, really upset, I guess.

[inquired]

That will happen no matter what.

[sharkgirl]

What if someone admitted to doing one of the kills?

[inquired]

From this weekend? [ a pause. ] Could they?

[sharkgirl]

[she looks away.]

Maybe.

[inquired]

With what evidence.

[sharkgirl]

[shrugs.]

You never know what items a person has.

[inquired]

Nimona.

[doghouse]

Yeah, I know, just.

[ whispers at 8:59 ]

[inquired]

[ nods. ]

Very well.

[ballies]

... Yeah, if it hit you hard enough in the temple -- that's a delicate area. There's a major artery there.

[stunwhistle]

...yeah, head injuries are no joke.

[doghouse]

[ thinks about the time he hit his head on a rock after parachuting down like 3000 feet



anyway, ]
