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. ))

Clothing + Shoe Check

[plunges]

Forgive me for the interruption, but I would like to take a look at everyone's attire, from top to bottom. I am checking for traces of sugar or any other residue from the crime scene.

[ Let's go let's go! ]

[chosenwang]

[ Go ahead and check out the clothing. He's going to take off his flippy flops to hand over. Then he'll let him inspect his clothes on him. ]

I don't want anyone losing control if I wind up stripping.

[idologue]

[ Lacus is a well-dressed young lady - her dress and shoes are all clear! ]

Re: Clothing + Shoe Check

[hearnoplague]

[ Kallamar is wearing nothing but an oversized hoodie! No shoes to be seen! NOTHING HAS SUGAR ON IT!!! ]

Re: Clothing + Shoe Check

[finalforte]

[If she's posing like a model during the check: it's just your imagination.

Her clothes are clean, and her shoes have only the grime you'd expect from regular wear around the resort.]

[townmusician]

[The only residue on Haruka is his tears.

Well, not really (unless...), but he's sugar free!]

[gluttoning]

[Checkarooni, here he is.

His outfit and his shoes are clear of sugar, just all dusty from the sand from the sand bar.]

[butcherspice]

Might as well give everyone the once-over, innit?

[For Billy's part, his clothing is clear of residue and the ugly dad sandals don't have anything on the bottom aside from a bit of sand from walking around earlier.

And he's gonna be staring hard at these shoe checks so better cooperate kiddos.]

[passetemps]

[ ok well i think billy pretty much already covered this for him, but

again, he will let you look at anything you want, and there is still nothing but normal garden dirt on his shoes or clothes. ]

[conchy]

At your leisure, Petit Xiao, but keep in mind that I was at the scene earlier investigating.

[As such, Xiao will find sugar residue on Lobelia's right glove and the soles of his boots.]

[microtransactions]

[ xiao is free to check out all of magolor's layers and the soles of his boots, but he's clear — there's no sugar or confectionary substances to be found here. ]

[skyworp]

[So for the record Skywarp is wearing clothes; it's a very tacky (but well sewn) combination of tropical shirts into one purple-yellow-red piece. His shoes are just...well...his foot (singular). Both are clean, aside from bits of blue splatters from earlier.]

[dysnowpian]

Go right ahead.

[ As noted before, he has a long sleeve shirt on and pants. His attire is clean of any kind of residue, and he'll offer his boots as well, though it's more leggy out than actually taking them off.

They're clean. ]

[finalmix]

[ josh is very sugar-free with no residue from the crime scene! go ahead and inspect him. ]

[solutionary]

[Feel free-- Baizhu (and Changsheng) are here and mostly sugar residue free. Only hint of anything would be sand from their current holdings, and a small bit of sugar from when he investigated the rail road with Lobelia]

[diabolizes]

[ Wei Wuxian naturally has some sand on his swim trunks and shirt, but that's really it. No sugar on his hands, as he let Lobelia take care of that part in the body investigation. ]

[dancing_flames]

[Shuda's boots have about the normal amount of dirt/sand one would expect from walking around, but his outfit is otherwise clean. No sugar or anything else questionable on it!]

[necrotiem]

[She's wearing an oversized t-shirt with a strip (for energy drink) torn out of it and short bottoms underneath. They look nice and fresh, except for the Monster strip.

Her shoes have the typical amount of traipsing around outside sand! No traces of sugar anywhere.]

[divector]

[ The soles of his shoes are overly sandy in a way that suggests someone who really doesn't bother with regular shoe upkeep, though at least the rest of the shoe is presentable. Clothing-wise, his long white coat is free from wrinkles and stains, and is very fun to spin around and watch billow. There isn't any sort of residue on his black shirt and pants either. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Taking a break from being grumpy at Lobelia for clothes check!

Psyche's clothes and sandals have... sand. And no traces of sugar. ]

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ She doesn't do a whole lot to help with the whole search, but her clothes are clean, and her sandals are fairly standard dirty from walking around. ]

[dupiety]

[Temenos' clothing and shoes are sugar-free!]

[gravitys]

[ He's sugar free! Not sand free, but who the hell is sand free here. ]

[butcherspice]

...just to be thorough, mate, how're your kicks looking?

[Might as well clear everybody. How's Xiao looking in terms of sugar count?]

[dupiety]

Xiao and Billy, if I may...

Did you happen to find any overly clean footwear in your search?
