WEEK 4; TRIAL
TRIAL
You all know the drill by now even if things are a little different today, with the two deceased and the shuffling of the announcements. Things are much the same at the sandbar though, kittybots setting out seafood as the theme for this week, along with every flavor of mountain dew under the sun, including the energy drink kind. (food mod note: this is actually on brand MTN dew for once!).
Off to the side in a booth of their own are the bodies as well as attendant kittybots; simply request which body you'd like to look at and the kitty bots will direct you appropriately, as if it's difficult to tell the difference between a squid and a giant robot. Maybe they're just there trying to be helpful, they're doing their best. .
(( OOC: Welcome to your third trial! You'll have 7 hours (8PM EST/5PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. 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. ))
EVIDENCE TOP LEVELS
Theater
There was blue drops of what I'm assuming is his blood from the stage the took me outside. That's where I saw the Go-kart parked outside. There was more of his blood inside of the go-kart, but it appears to be undamaged. If someone drove his body there, it would have been quite the tight fit.

Bar
There were high-proof drinks missing! So Kanon took a look around and found the pieces thrown away.
[She will in fact hold up the trash can because carrying the whole thing was preferable to digging through it.]
It looks like someone tore up a gift shop shirt while they were at it.
[Sure enough, there's strips of a shirt in there among the glass, too.]
Kanon's pretty sure a matchbook was missing, too!

Skywarp body
[ sometimes you are a transplant from 2000 years in the past and that makes things a little awkward at best. regardless, he clears his throat, and starts explaining what he saw. ]
We found Skywarp sitting on a seat like a king on a throne. No, seriously. He had his chin rested on his palm, and whatever remained of one of his legs propped up on an armrest. He was also wearing a crown and a planet themed cape, which I've brought with me...
[ he'll place both things down for people to view. ]
All around him were miniature planet models and I'm gonna guess that's from the planetarium gift shop. [ he says that with a mild annoyance. so his trap didn't work as well as he thought it did. bummer. ]
As for the state of the body, he was missing both feet, aka his harpoon prosthetics and his remaining foot. They had these kind of diagonal slashes, that kind of looked like the person who ripped it off had to put a lot of effort to do so-- makes sense, since he was made out of metal.
[ shrugs. ]
The front and side of his torso and head had a bunch of holes on them. They're not that big, they're kind of like puncture wounds. The ones on the front torso looked like they were the deepest? And on the back of his head there were some cracks that look like they were almost going to be exit wounds. The holes, by the way, had this weird blue substance that I guess was like its blood. Oil, maybe? I think that's what cars use, at least.
On top of that, his joints and some random parts of his body had this transparent liquid. It looked and felt like water, but the smell of it was kind of fishy. I've got no idea if its a chemical or if he just had a fight with a school of fish.

Waterfall part 1
We awoke to find ourselves among scattered debris from the rock face and crystal pool of the waterfall, and a acrid scent of mechanical oil in the air. At the base of the waterfall was an erratic pattern of large footprints that no doubt belonged to Skywarp. They were centralized in one area and did not lead to anywhere, almost as if making a single even larger print in their wake. Among these footprints were splatters of a blue oily substance that I would attribute to Skywarp's "blood."
In addition to all of that, I found Skywarp's remaining foot on the roof of the refreshment hut. It looked as though it had fallen onto it and it contained several diagonal slash marks on it. As for how it became detached in the first place, it seems as though it had been removed with some force, but not enough to have been simply ripped off.

Planetarium
There were tire tracks leadin' to the theater from one of the go-karts. In 'em were drops of blue blood and metal fragments, so I'm assumin' whoever the fuck used a cart to move Skywarp and the shit from the Planetarium.
Crea set up a bowl of flour trap outside but guess whoever it was got around that. [ A shrug. ]

Beach; Kallamar’s Body
One of the more noticeable wounds and the cause of death was the hole in his head, evident by the signs of blood that wasn’t washed away by the water. There were plenty of wounds that don’t look to have bled much as well, so whoever did this must have expended quite a bit of energy after he was deceased. The harpoon sticking out of the left side of his chest is also worthy to note; I believe this must have been what caused the majority of the wounds. Oddly enough, he smelled strongly of a high proof liquor despite being in the sea.
His left arm was missing and the site was not clean—- the arm showed signs of multiple stabs to sever his hand off, with more damage to the surrounding areas as well. There were gold shards that were also on his left side, more concentrated by the arm and radiating outward. Some of the stab wounds also had gold shards inside of them, as though they were pushed into the wound with the weapon.
His right side was also riddled with metal, but this was gray, not gold. It was also fairly radial in pattern, centered on his head and upper half. Both types of shard were the actual metal and not painted, and they were not shavings either but actual shards.
Lastly, Kallamar’s legs and clothing were concealing thick, sturdy, curved glass shards and sand. The pieces are here [Baizhu reveals a piece of cloth folded around the glass he brought with him before continuing] but they’re rather small to identify what they’re from.

Clarifying the glass
TRAILGATE (DODO, KINGFISHER, SEAGULL AND ISLAND RAIL) + some go-kart side notes
I say weird because from the look of the tire tracks, this go-kart could only go straight forward, or something like that! Every time it had to make a turn, it was a hard, jagged swerve before going straight again— there wasn't a normal turning radius or curve or anything, it just like. Zigzagged its way around all night?
The tire tracks going from the go-kart area on Seagull to the railway leaving Kingfisher are clean. Starting at Kingfisher, though, you can see drag marks along the trail. There was also some blood? Oil? Dunno what Skywarp would call it, but there's drops of that stuff he was leaking that time he lost his foot along the path of the drag marks. Oh, and robot bits and pieces! Bolts and screws and other stuff. I brought some of them with me, but they're pretty beat up.
Anyway, I did try to trace the drag marks back— it looks like the go-kart was only ever at the railway area there, but something large was dragged from the crystal pool at the bottom of the waterfall to the railway. That was, uh, probably Skywarp himself, because there's bloil and bolts along that trail as well.
Lastly, as I said to Wang Lu, while a go-kart might've been used this week too, I don't know that anyone was really driving it in the normal way! From what I remember of the pictures Xiao showed me, when Sonya rigged up that kart of his in whatever happened to Chai, the engine definitely showed signs of being pushed too hard! Thing is, when I looped all the way around to check on the go-kart outside the theater after ... Honestly, it pretty much looked perfectly fine? Just a little bled on. Skywarp was a pretty big dude, so I thought after all the action this kart saw last night it might reflect a little in engine wear and tear since these things aren't the biggest, but there was nothing like that here! And again, weird zigzag path.
Anyway, I did take pictures of all this in case anyone wanted a look.

BEACH, EACH
I looked around the beach near where the squid died! There were some drag marks that went down the beach and into the ocean, which weren't very big. There was also a bunch of metal flakes I saw by the shoreline that were in a couple of different colors! They're all different metals, so I don't really know where they came from.
[ She'll show the grey, gold, and black scraps that she found. ]
There was a bit of funky-looking sand near the drag marks that looked kind of weird. [ she's got a picture of it on her U-PINON, which she'll send to anyone who wants to see it. ] I couldn't really tell what the dark patches were, other than it smelled like fish and iron. It was disgusting.
[ just. makes a stank face. ]
And, also, there was broken glass! They're pretty small pieces, but pretty thick glass. ... And that's it!
[ And then she sits back down. Thank you, she'll be here all week. ]

DOX YOURSELF (u-pinion check)
Would you all please retrieve your U-PINIONs and show them to be both undamaged and belonging to you?
[For her part, Waltaquin shows her U-PINION, which is both free of damage and clearly posting with the account jadefield. There are photos from Verg's dummy thick ass craters in last week's case as well.]

HOLY BUTT CHECK THE 3RD
As we have reason to believe that a fight broke out, we ought to perform a thorough check for injuries. I am afraid this will be more invasive than the last, so I would ask that we work together to examine each other with personal comfort in mind.
Xiao and Wang Lu have volunteered to assist me, and it would be ideal for a woman to also volunteer.
Let's get to it, shall we?

Re: SCENT CHECK
CATHERD
Our checks have sadly proven inconclusive, so we'll have to return to speculation for now. We have a wealth of evidence on our hands this time, so I believe it may be for the best to try and summarize what we have concluded so far.
Skywarp fought someone at the waterfall. The battle begun at the top of the waterfall, where massive damage was dealt to the rock formations. Over the course of the battle, Skywarp's foot was cut off - both he and it fell down into the area below, where Skywarp also lost his makeshift-prosthetic. He came out of the pond and was alive for long enough to hop around for a bit but soon either passed away or at least passed out.
We know he wasn't conscious, because there are drag marks from the waterfall to the rails where there's tracks from a go-kart. The go kart tracks lead from the go-kart area to Kingfisher's Retreat, where Skywarp was loaded on and then further to Dodo's Outlook. Here, they took a stop at the Planetarium to gather the supplies for setting up Skywarp's body. They did not set off Crea's flour trap, so they were acting carefully. Their final stop, then, was the theater where they set his body up on the stage.
The killer could not move Skywarp's body as far as they wanted on their own, so they went and got a go-kart for these purposes. Interestingly, the go-kart only went in straight lines, and did not curve properly. Was it pushed, rather than driven...?
We are thus looking for a killer who has a weapon or ability capable of both removing Skywarp's foot and causing the puncture injuries to his upper body. As they were able to drag the body from the waterfall to the rails, they would also be physically strong.
Meanwhile Kallamar got into a fight at the beach, which seems to be the only noteworthy location for this specific murder. Though someone had made makeshift molotov cocktails previously. They were set off during the beach confrontation - the glass pieces line up to prove it.
Kallamar was stabbed over and over, even going so far as to remove his arm. A harpoon remained lodges in his chest. There was a number of metal shards found at the scene, all seemingly distinct from one another, but I admit I can't make heads or tails of them yet...

weapons check
[ Though he'll also kind of see if he can detect any unusual behavior or clothing lumps, etc. that would indicate if anyone's purposefully hiding any weapons on their person.
Xiao is checking for Skywarp blood, any scratches or recent polishes, etc. (I'm just going to throw this out there since we're low on time.) ]

We have both the leg damage and the puncture wounds still unaccounted for.

VOTING RESULTS
[ An emphatic shrug. ]
Oh yeah, we also got votes for Nona, Billy, and Temenos.
Anyway, since I didn't get to kill someone this week, one of you get the honors of offing Kanon. We'll do that the same way we did it the first time, so I'm not gonna explain it again. Cya then!
[ With all that chuuni jargon no one needed, Shigaraki will hop off the platform, disintegrating the glass in the booth with a quick press of one of his hands against the glass, the kittybots whirring to life to surround Kanon. The path back to the main island also reappears not too long after, with Overhaul, the corpses and the kittybots leaving now that things are settled.
Shigaraki for the time being is sticking around though, waiting for someone.
All of that aside, Kanon will be in jail on Sungem Island until the execution if anyone wants to visit her, and execution signups are now open! ]
