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!

I'm gonna pull this gun apart to check if there's anythin' inside of it.

[A couple minutes later.]

Nothin' inside of the gun that could've caused something like that.

[evocationary]

Hm. [she has... no idea, then.] Weird?

[battling]

Very. Something managed to dent the bullet and not the gun.

Unless somebody pulled out the bullet, dented it separately, then put it back in.

[His expression is very clear: who the fuck would do that and why.]

[supremity]

Would that sabotage the gun being used..?

[battling]

No. It'll still work as ammo.

[supremity]

Then perhaps Harrow's theory is a sound one, if it would still be viable.

[outsidebones]

Are we sure it isn't something Marie did herself?

[she frowns.]

I didn't know her well, but early on in particular, she was rather afraid of the notion that she would kill someone and have no memory of it happening. If that were your fear, it would be rather clever to mark the bullet in your gun to ensure it was not replaced.

[evocationary]

That's a good point, actually. Nobody would know to look for it unless she told them, so she'd be able to prove whatever bullets were shot didn't belong to her if someone was trying to frame her or whatever.

[battling]

I don't know for sure it wasn't her.

I know the dent must've happened between last Saturday and this Saturday. That dent wasn't there the last time I looked at it. She could've been stressed about bein' up at night.
