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!

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. [sighs.] Then I don't know. I don't know why Ponta was even out there if it was Vane and Danny.

[tongshi]

[ snuffles as he's walking away from the corpses ]

Danny's breath doesn't smell like anything citrus. Vane had the tea, and Ponta had the soda.

So we're missing whoever had the juice.

[odoruhinokaze]

Yeah?

[ ...Wait. ]

...You think that whoever had that would still have that scent on them somehow?

[ Like, you know. ]

[tongshi]

[ HEAVES A SIGH ]

I... don't super love this. But. I guess I could smell people to see if there's any juice smells lingering anywhere.

[unsync]

C-can... can I just also point out that it's been two days.

[ Like, before we make Hung start sniffing people's breaths. ]

[squelching]

[nodding. help.]

Most people brush their teeth...

[tongshi]

I didn't mean just their breaths, but I really just. Hope people are brushing their teeth.

[ does not look at the slumbering rita very pointedly when he says this ]

[unsync]

Well... you're the one who'd be suffering the most here, so...

[odoruhinokaze]

[ GANBA HUNG... ]

Yeah. Well, might as well. 'specially since we're running out of ideas here.

[tongshi]

[ shrugs helplessly. he's going to keep looking at evidence otherwise because it's about all he can do rn. ]

[stunwhistle]

...I'm pretty sure people would've brushed their teeth by now, man.

[tongshi]

You say this. And, god, I hope this. But.

[ our rita ]

[resumed]

[ makes a face. ]

Gross.

[tongshi]

[ makes the face back ]

[sharkgirl]

[she just looks at him for a very long time, and then:] Yeah.

[squelching]

[... glances.]

[sharkgirl]

[her jaw works. she's smoking, also.]

[squelching]

[hm.

she holds her hand out to her?]

[tongshi]

[ he is not psychic, nimona. but he'll go back to pouring over the evidence tiredly. ]

[inquired]

[ 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.

[tongshi]

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.

[floridas]

[ is coming back from something and just kind of listens to this like. w h y.

but also, i guess dogs love having jobs (affectionate.) she will come hold his hand and squeeze. ]

Thanks for checking...

[ leaning up to gib him kiss on the cheek and then whisper something to him. she looks kind of uncertain. ]

[tongshi]

[ there are three cases and they have so much stuff to do and ground to cover. he is trying to give every case his attention but godddd.

he leans down to make it easier for her, squeezing back - but then blinking as his ear twitches. ]

... yeah. Of course. [ murmurs something back quietly, frowning. ]

[floridas]

[ shrugs a little helplessly because it's 8:30am aaaaa she is literally unraveling. ]

If there is...

[tongshi]

[ nods and rubs her back, trying to help keep things together. ]

Yeah. Don't worry. C'mon, let's look at more evidence and we can go from there.
