WEEK 2; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

TRIAL

Whether you investigated or decided to take it easy, before you know it the speakers crackle to life instructing you to head to the beach. This is a demand not a request, and anyone who doesn't comply will find themselves forcibly moved there by the kitty bots—even if it takes a whole swarm of them.

Once you get there, you'll see that this isn't quite a beach party, instead a gigantic sandbar dotted with some type of constructs has risen out of the sea and tides. The path to the sandbar is solid enough even if it is relatively narrow, and once you arrive you'll find that you're far out in the ocean, way farther than it's comfortable to swim.

And once everyone is gathered, the pathway recedes back into the sea leaving you trapped here, all twenty-eight of you. At least there's ample seating, a kind of amphitheater made of sand with space in the middle for grandstanding or dramatic revelations. Though the area is mostly open, there are lone pieces of sand wall around the edges, maybe to dissuade you from tossing someone into the ocean without stopping you entirely. Thankfully, a lone outhouse rests again one of the walls just in case you need to use the bathroom, though it's not much in the way of actual privacy.

Settle in, get comfortable or just complain about all the sand you'll be tracking back, if you make it back that is. There's still another sacrifice to be chosen after all according to your administrators and—

Maybe you've noticed there's no palm trees or speakers here? It's just you, and the sand. For now.

(( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (8PM EST/5PM PST) to find the killer and send them off their death, if you believe in justice at least. Since this is scapegoat style, finding the correct killer is not mandatory!

Please remember to vote before then unless you've spoken to a mod, as votes are our stand-in for AC. ))

HOLY BUTT CHECK (injury check)

[dupiety]

If I may address the flock for a moment...

[Does he have everyone's attention? Yes? Good.]

The idea that the culprit may have been involved in the crash has been floated, and I would like to follow up on it. If I may see your arms and legs, please. I may ask to see the torso as well, should the need present itself.

[He'll probably reserve the more invasive stuff for actual suspects.]

[plunges]

[ He'll always have qualms with people getting up close and personal, but he won't protest when Temenos looks him over. He'll also roll up his pants to expose his legs.

Xiao doesn't have any injuries. He looks a bit worn out from all the plunging earlier, sorry Skywarp, but he's injury-free! ]

[idologue]

Of course. Though I don't think I need to do much for that...

[ She's wearing a sleeveless sundress, so she just... kinda lifts up her skirt some more to show her upper legs also. She is free of injuries. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Hey honey ]

I thought you'd never ask. [ He's still in the matching green Hawaiian shirt so his arms are already out there. He will start to unbutton the top before pausing to look at the room. ] Maybe we should figure out privacy for the ladies and little Xiao?

[dupiety]

I did say if the need presents itself...

[Darling, please.]

We can figure out the logistics then.

[hearnoplague]

If this will help in any way at all...

[ He rolls up his sleeves so you can see his squidly arms... They're clear of injury. Now for the legs...

... Well, he isn't wearing pants, so you can see his weird noodle legs are clean too. ]

[finalforte]

[She's in a tank top and short skirt as usual so it's very easy to tell she has no injuries.]

[solutionary]

[Baizhu readily bares his arms and legs, pulling gloves and pantlegs out of the way. Nothing out of place on him.]

If you don't mind, would I be able to go over your arms and legs as well?

[diabolizes]

[ Good thing he's wearing a short sleeve shirt and swim trunks today, which makes checking his arms and legs easy. He is free of injury. ]

[skyworp]

[If you wanna ignore the foot, then the rest of him's perfectly fine.]

[gravitys]

[ Chuuya shrugs. ]

I don't care if someone checks me, I guess? [ If anyone wants to volunteer he's like "whatever" about it, though if someone tries to take his hat he'll throw a fit. ]

[townmusician]

[Give him a moment to roll up the sleeves of his sweater and his pant legs because he’s back to being one of Those People, but he is injury free!]

It’s weird being called part of a flock.

[gluttoning]

[Thank god he wears pretty loose clothing so he can just shrug his jacket off and roll up his pants to the thigh.

His limbs are clean of injuries.]

[chrysaline]

[ Psyche really didn't dress to be stripped when she went out the night before... the matching green shirt already bares her arms, so she's just rolling up pant cuffs as high as she can for him.

No injuries though. ]

Will this do?

[necrotiem]

Will you be checking them all yourself, Father?

[She makes very big eye contact with him as she rolls up the hem of her very baggy t-shirt to expose her legs, since she's doing the big shirt + short bottoms combo having had no time to change.

There are no injuries on her arms or legs.]

[dancing_flames]

[Yeah, about that. His right hand is mechanical most of the way up to the elbow but there are no injuries on his flesh and blood hand or on his legs and no sorts of scratches or damage to the mechanical hand either.]

[conchy]

Oh? Wasn't seeing me in a state of undress once enough for you? Such an insatiable man...

[Sorry not sorry, Daddy.]

[dysnowpian]

Of course, be as thorough as you like. [ Sonya has long sleeves on and has the entire time he's been here because you don't leave soviet russia district 25 behind you even on a tropical resort.

He'll roll up his sleeves though, which are unmarred, and his pant legs too. Also for note, he has gloves on like he usually does because see above. ]

[felame]

Very well.

[ privacy where

the way she's got to take off her overcoat, then the top part of her suit, then roll up her sleeves of her button-up shirt—

—then also her pants, but it's fine, she'll roll those up as much as she can. there's scarring, of course, but all of it is old and healed over. no injuries here! ]

[passetemps]

[ zelkov will oblige and roll up his sleeves and pant legs... no injuries here. ]

[divector]

[ He'll just take off his coat, roll up his long sleeves and pants, and leave it at that since he's lost interest in this by that point. He has no injuries. ]

[finalmix]

[ no injuries on josh! he's even wearing shorts today since it's convenient :/ ]

[microtransactions]

... I should start on figuring out a different outfit to wear to these things, huh ...

[ magolor is not dressed to be stripped at all, but like. with some work he gets the gloves off and rolls both the sleeves of the coat and the suit underneath up to reveal that his arms and hands are clear of injury.

a little more effort gets the boots off and his pant legs also rolled up to show that yup, he's free of injury. ]

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ She's wearing fairly short shorts and a t-shirt, which makes it clear that she has no injuries. ]

[butcherspice]

Aye, the whole scene's a mess. Bloke might need a deep cleansing just for the sugar.

[Billy is in full Dad Vacation Wear with the loud Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts, so his arms and legs are visible and clear!]
