WEEK SIX: TRIAL

[guestservices]

W̴͍̎E̴̝̊E̸͚͝K̸͕̿ SIX: TRIAL

Rise and shine; you know how Saturdays go. Even if you'd rather sleep in, you'll find yourself waking up and getting out of bed. Once you're out of your room, a door appears down the hallway, compelling you to walk towards it. Upon entering, you'll discover a room that's familiar if you've gone exploring this week or possibly from even before then:

MAIN MEETING HALL (VILLAGE)
Should anyone venture inside, they'll find a number of long benches set up against the walls. At the head of the building are two chairs, a sun and a moon carved into the back of each. The area in the center is wide open, allowing plenty of space to move around and while decor is lacking, hanging from the walls are several blank scrolls. There's also a large (blank) scroll above the two chairs in the back.

There are a few tables in here behind room dividers. One is labeled 'Evidence' while the rest are covered in white sheets. Elsewhere in the room is a table with pencils and slips of paper for voting.

✦✧☪✧✦

Welcome to your seventh trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about the murders. Characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4pm EST to 5pm EST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, we have a voting page for characters to vote on the culprit! Please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes 9pm EST. Voting is mandatory in this game.

Good luck!

[it does not smell like gunpowder.

the bullet is now in his hand! it is the correct kind of bullet for this gun.]

[battling]

[He'll inspect the bullet. Is it exactly the same as the last time he saw it?]

[guestservices]

[bradley examines the bullet. since he's checking if it is exactly the same as last time, at first glance it may appear so. but given he knows what this bullet looked like, he may notice that the casing looks like there's a tiny dent on one side.]

[battling]

[How tiny is this tiny dent? Like a pinprick or larger than that?]

[guestservices]

[it's fairly small. it's not quite pinprick-sized small, but still very small that you may not notice it if you aren't looking at the bullet closely.]

[battling]

[Was the dent on the left, right, top, bottom? Can he tell based off of the way the bullet was lying in the chamber?]

[guestservices]

[it's just on the casing itself, i.e. the positioning really doesn't matter.]

[battling]

[Is there anything inside of the gun that would've made that kind of dent?

This means: Bradley takes a moment to pull apart this gun to inspect it for anything that could've made the indentation.]

[guestservices]

[even after taking apart the gun, nothing seems to stand out that would have made any sort of indentation on the casing.]

[battling]

[He'll put the gun back together. It has all it's parts? Nothing is missing?

The bullet will be placed next to the gun.]

[guestservices]

[yep! everything is there and accounted for.]

[battling]

[Given Bradley has gun knowledge, would this small dent mean the bullet would be unable to work as intended?]

[guestservices]

[you could probably still use the bullet as intended, sure.]

[battling]

[And he for sure knows this dent happened at some point this week? The last time he saw this bullet was last Saturday.]

[guestservices]

[sure.]
