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!

[ she rubs her eyes. ]

So. Putting aside Vane killing Danny, because we're pretty sure that's what happened there. Do we assume Ponta's death was due to what's been mentioned here? An inter-team kill? It wouldn't surprise me if there was collaboration there, because we found the two walkie talkies and the connecting puzzles to find Ponta's body and evidence someonea at the shooting range would've been able to talk with whoever was at the warehouse. It's just... who that collaboration was between that I'm not sure about. Ponta and someone.

Making it obvious something was hidden, but making us work to find it. But Vane and Danny are also dead. We think Vane was controlled into killing Danny, and then whoever controlled him killed Vane to clean up any loose ends. Does... that seem like a potential order of events?

[sharkgirl]

That makes sense to me.

[she's sitting here just thinking about all of this and very slowly turning to smoke.]

I don't think Vane was supposed to end up dead. I don't think Danny was either.

[ballies]

Yeah, the photo of Danny -- he doesn't look stressed or scared, he's dressing up and it looks like he's trying to drag someone into the booth with him?

[ ... ] But, his body-- [ the CRIMINAL TEARS. ]

[sharkgirl]

Yeah, I don't...

... Maybe he just wasn't expecting it to be that violent. Maybe it was Danny being taken out but they promised to do it nice. Or maybe Vane and Danny met up, found someone coming for them, ran away, and then Vane got controlled into doing it.

There's so many possibilities. I don't have a way to confirm it.

[ballies]

I imagine it's ... not nice, even if you agreed or knew it was coming. But -- his missing arm was flipping someone off, wasn't it? It seems like he was mad at someone.

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. So I just... wonder if it was someone the two of them weren't expecting.

[ballies]

Hence why they barricaded themselves in. But... whoever showed up had a drum.

[squelching]

... I think it was probably something like that.

They barricaded themselves inside the konbini, but then whoever was after them broke the window and got in anyway?

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. Probably.
