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]

[ throws his shit on the ground that's what you get for dying (no)

is it the entire sole? or just like little bits?

otherwise okay let's go look through his inventory. what've you got, vane. ]

[becomemod]

[ the entire sole.

vane's inventory is:
- two bracelets. the second one is missing a charm.
- phone, in an aquamarine fox phone case. looks like there might be something inside the case?
- a broken seashell. ]

[inquired]

[ the second one being the butterfly one? obvs we dont know the shapes but just making sure. checking my pocket check notes from last week, are these the same ones from last pocket check?

what's in the case!

also what's up with the seashell. how "broken" is broken, is it like broken in half. is there anything inside of it.

also is there any blood or anything on any of these objects. ]

[becomemod]

[ "the second one" being the seashell-style bracelet. so he has the blue woven bracelet and one seashell bracelet that's missing a charm, but it isn't necessarily a butterfly charm. they should be the same bracelets from last pocket check.

if he opens up the case, it's a bunch of trading cards! 1, 2 x3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. i regret making these now that i have to link them all individually like this, nyeh.

the shell is broken in half, with the other half apparently missing. there is nothing inside it.

there is some blood on everything considering they were in his pockets and there's, like, a metric fuckton of blood from this man. except the cards. those were protected by the phone case. ]

[inquired]

[ ok cool. he'll...

set the cards back except he'll take out the mika one. sorry vane you're dead there's a child who wants this he thinks you'd approve.

anyway!!! okay. neat. he'll take those items and turn them into evidence.

otherwise, if someone will help him he'll turn him over to check his back. any strange injuries - bruises, marks, anything that looks odd or out of place on his back? stabs? more spots? ]

[becomemod]

[ temenos loots a dead man's body.

nothing looks out of place on vane's back! there are probably traces of blood from being in a blool but that's about it. ]

[inquired]

[ yeah! throne would be so proud!!

this is a body comparison question ig but there was a picture of vane's body in evidence so.

is it okay to compare it to the body to see the blool just to see where it was/to make sure blood stains match the blool. also, can he tell what the object under his head was in the picture or do i have to take it to evidence.... ]

[becomemod]

[ the bloodstains should match the blool, yes.

the object under vane's head goes under evidence checks. ]

[inquired]

[ kay neat. i got hands feet torso front back and legs and head so i think?? i got it all?

there are no weird notes hidden on his person are there. anywhere. ]

[becomemod]

[ no weird notes! ]

[inquired]

[ thank god. please i cant do that trauma again also

anyway. once he's finished a final lookover, he will pause briefly, and close vane's eyes if they aren't already closed. AND REDRESS HIM DON'T PUT ANY EVIL ON ME

he pauses at the body for a little longer than he might normally, holding very still, and bows his head, eyes briefly closing. ]

The truth will come to light. [ ... ] May your rest be temporary, little lamb. Let the Sacred Flame light your return.

[ ...

and then with that done, it's time to go do the report. goodbye ]
