guiltrip | WEEK 3; TRIAL

TRIAL

Like last week, the kitty bots herd everyone over to the sandbar once the time for investigation has concluded. At the least, this little piece of your personal hells has emerged unscathed in all the wreckage. Unlike last week, Overhaul and Shigaraki are already there waiting for you, the former looking about as grouchy as a mask can get and the latter looking pretty amused.

Off to the side in a booth of its own is the body as well as attendant kittybots; apparently it’s messy enough this time to require some clearance, but it’s still close enough for the admins to oversee.

This murder sure was something, even for your masterminds. Theorize and/or judge about who could have done such a thing and get a snack from your local kitty bots if you get hungry—the theme is italian today, with pizza, mozzarella sticks, stuffed meatballs and the like.

(( OOC: Welcome to your second 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. ))

...Would those sounds potentially be able to rupture that chosen person's eardrums without inflicting similar harm on bystanders, I wonder? Or are they more along the lines of an auditory hallucination?

I mean, I'm pretty sure the human body can cause damage it thinks it's getting anyway.

[ hm. ]

Yes, I suppose that is possible in some situations. I wonder if the same would apply in this one.

No clue. It's at least a possibility to consider. Though I'm pretty sure it ain't just mental.

Yes, I'm quite certain that the missing heart was not, in any case.

Maybe someone ate it. [ HE'S seriously suggesting it, help ]

It is, unfortunately, possible... and, of course, there is also an entire ocean where things can be discarded. I suppose it could even have been fed to a bird of prey.

[ SIGHS. ]

I don't know that we should pin our hopes on the possibility of finding it.

I mean, yeah. We can check what people are carryin' but I'm not gonna hold out hopes there's a heart in someone's pockets right now.

[ MOSTLY BECAUSE HE THINKS THAT WOULD BE DUMB... ]

[ AGREED........ ]

[ handshake emoji ]

Or the goose. [ Before whatever happened to it... happened ] We might as well check people's mouths while we're at it in case they didn't brush well.

...If we catch someone because of that I'm quitting.

[ Quitting what? Life, generally. ]

A human heart is probably too big for a goose to eat...

[Which would explain why it died? Is she helping???]

Could that be why it was so thoroughly destroyed?

It wasn't really a goose anymore, Ibuki said...just feathers and blood. Even if it didn't eat it...

Poor goose...

[ When you give a goose a heart... it explodes ]

[ Wait ] Or what happened to the goose is what happened to the heart.

[... oh. He gets where you're going with that.]

The damage was done from the inside out, you mean?

It just sounded like normal talking to me, but inside my head.

[ nods... ]

If he was not speaking loudly to you when he did this, it would be hard to determine whether such a method could truly cause physical damage or not... but I think it is helpful information to have just the same. Thank you.

Mn.

I wouldn't put it past him to be able to do physical things. He was able to put a lot of resistance to every muscle in my body just by snapping his fingers, enough that I had to struggle to hold myself up.

Yes, I am quite certain he can... I just wish I knew how each of the many ways in which he can use his power worked.

...I am sorry he has continued to toy with you like this.

...Don't apologize.

[It's a little clipped as he glances towards Lobelia. He's getting audibly annoyed.]

It's no one's fault but mine.

He made coconuts explode when I asked him what he could do with audiomancy.

[hello he has information for once]

You observed this first-hand? What did it look and sound like, from your perspective?

He did it on some coconuts, and they just sort of… burst into pieces. The sound wasn’t crazy loud, but… It was just some coconuts.
