WEEK 4; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

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. ))

Bar

[finalforte]

Kanon found something good this time! Somebody was bad in the 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!

[dancing_flames]

... so they were trying to make homemade bombs, in other words.

[gluttoning]

What a waste of good drinks.

[Like that's the problem here.]

[finalforte]

Seriously!

[gluttoning]

[Agreeing on something with Kanon, a miracle!!]

Are the bottles in pieces, or just empty?

[finalforte]

They're all broken up! But Kanon's pretty sure all the missing bottles are in here. Kanon's looked at the drinks in the bar many times now, so she still remembers them!

[chosenwang]

Or burn the evidence with a well placed molotov cocktail.

[dancing_flames]

A what?

[Sorry, Wang Lu, he's not from Earth, he doesn't know these names for things.]

[chosenwang]

You fill a bottle with highly flammable liquid and have a rag sticking out of the hole. You light up the rag and throw it.

[chrysaline]

[ Oh! Psyche will remember this. ]

Any kind of bottle?

[dancing_flames]

Heh... so that's what you call them in your world. Good to know.

We're thinking along the same lines, then.

[passetemps]

I see... I wonder if it would have been possible to send something like that through one of his portals as well.

[butcherspice]

That's about what those ingredients sound like. But did it look like anythin' got lit up 'round the crime scenes?

[dancing_flames]

The stick I found floating in the ocean near Kallamar's corpse was scorched on one end. It could have been caught in the blaze.

[plunges]

There were scorch marks at the beach and at the waterfall. ... That could mean that these two murders were connected, though it is too early to say for sure.

[solutionary]

Kallamar’s body smelled of strong alcohol, and he also was clutching glass shards. Could he have been the one making these?

[dancing_flames]

Then the question would be what for. They're not the most efficient method of defense.

[chrysaline]

Maybe it's all he could think of? He always seemed a little nervous, and I don't think he had many other powers... if he realized he was awake at that time, he might have wanted anything he could use?

MODS but also hey dani

[finalmix]

[ coming over after he gets the glass samples from alice: ]

Hey, do you think these glass pieces came from the bottles?

[ modchans is this a match or nada ]

[killerwaves]

[The glass pieces are a match.]

Re: MODS but also hey dani

[finalforte]

[Looking them over...]

...Yeah! They're the same!

I return hours later

[gluttoning]

Kanon.

[Mid-grilling from like 5 other people, here he is.]

Can I see the trash can?

Re: I return hours later

[finalforte]

[Picking it up and throwing it at him.]

Just take it and leave Kanon alone!

[gluttoning]

[Just catching it without a problem. Well okay then.

Mostly he needs to take another look at the shirt pieces. How much of the shirt is in here?]

[killerwaves]

[Is he digging in the trash. Basically the entire shirt is here, just in strips.]
