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!

[ oof... he looks so fucking unhappy about this. ]

...Thanks for checking all that. Would've been a logical thing to use the drum for, I guess.

[yeah smoke is pretty consistently coming out of her mouth at this point btu she's ignoring it.]

I think what might have happened is... maybe Danny and Vane were in the konbini? The shelves were heavy that were blockading the door, Vane was really strong, so he could've pushed them. And then someone broke into the konbini and used the drum to make Vane kill him? And then they killed Vane... somehow, maybe they made him slit his own throat or something, and carried him in the shopping cart to Fox dorm.

... Just guessing. This might all not be even close.

Does the drum thing do multiple commands or just one?
sharkgirl: (fifty-three)

[personal profile] sharkgirl 2023-11-04 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got one and the instructions say, um.

"Forces one person to follow a command for 1 hour or until the command is fulfilled." So I guess it depends on how complicated the command can be.
doghouse: (welllll you sort of don't)

[personal profile] doghouse 2023-11-04 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... Wonder if you can game it with a "wishing for more wishes" type of thing... like, commanding them to obey everything you tell them to do for the next hour. Probably not since that'd be a pretty big loophole, but. Yeah, maybe if you can just combine a few things into a single one-sentence command...?

... Like I said, I have one, so I guess we can test it if you want to. To see the limits.

Sure, I guess, but we need to know like - what it could've made people do. So we should probably test what Datz said and see if it can make people obey you for an hour.

If you need to test it on anyone, Nimona, I don't mind.
