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. ))

weapons check

[plunges]

If you have any weapons on you, present them now.

[ 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.) ]

[idologue]

I'd also add that if you know of any abilities that could function either as a slashing weapon or as a gun-like one, then please speak up now.

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

[plunges]

Please look this over, Lacus. It's only fair.

[ He'll hold out his spear for her to look at. There's no Skywarp blood, nothing that indicates that it's been cleaned recently. There are scratches that are more from wear and tear than anything else. ]

[passetemps]

As indicated by my profile, I have temporary access to several swords while engaged with Emblem Corrin. Do you wish for me to use this power now to make them available for inspection?

[dupiety]

[Temenos has his staff! It mostly look more battle-worn over time than anything and hasn't been recently cleaned.]

[plunges]

[ All clear! ]

[gluttoning]

[Sighs tiredly but: does that staff have any scent of Skywarp's blood?]

[gravitys]

[ Chuuya's vest pocket has a slight bulge from the fragments in a handkerchief he is Still Carrying and will presumably toss at the end of the trial, but otherwise, nothing off. And he's showed that to like three people so presumably Xiao knows what it is already. ]

I don't carry any. [ SHRUG ]

[plunges]

[ A nod. All clear, Chuuya! ]

[townmusician]

[Weapons?? Of course he has no weapons on hand. Sorry to anyone who ever tried to teach him to defend himself.]

[plunges]

[ All clear! ]

[necrotiem]

[Quin just has her grimoire, which is clean and well-cared-for.]

[plunges]

[ How clean are we talking? Like, super neat, cleaned recently? ]

[passetemps]

[ zelkov has a kitchen knife! it's used and unpolished, but doesn't smell like metal or skywarp blood, just wood. ]

[plunges]

[ All clear! ]

[diabolizes]

I've only got Chenqing.

[ Aka his flute, which he'll pull out of the sash on his waist. Just a normal, but very pretty, flute. ]

As for abilities, I have none of the sort Lacus described.

[chrysaline]

[ Psyche offers her sword over without protest. Maybe under robo-luminol it would have Skywarp blood residue? Considering Shuda used it to help sever foot #1. But it's not looking any more worn than the last time Xiao saw it during his pogosticking, though it's been cleaned since. ]

[dakicover]

[ all that crea has is a kunai, but that looks clean and relatively unused.

that said, he will also show the thing around his neck, which i absolutely forgot to mention in the strip check. he has this hanging from his neck by a drawstring. it looks undamaged. ]

I think Beel should smell them, too. In case they've been recently washed or if they have that fishy scent.

[gluttoning]

[He just kind of shakes his head, pulling out the D.D.D., u-pinion and cabana key from his pockets. He doesn't appear to have anything on him.]

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ Alice, naturally, has her riding crop that she always has on hand. It looks clean and well-maintained!

There's also Athos with her, which is just kind of vibing, but didn't get any Skywarp smell ping from Beel earlier. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He will pull out his toothpick sized sword and then make it grow to full size and unsheathe it. It's pretty and clean! ]

[divector]

Hmm, I usually don't have weapons because of my powers.

[ So instead he'll just empty his pockets? U-PINION with goose charm, cheesy sunglasses, and a cabana key, all of which look pretty normal, give or take normal wear. His coat doesn't have anything else, and his clothes aren't loose enough to look like they're hiding hidden weapons. Plus, considering how quick he was to strip before he realized HMM MAYBE SHOULDN'T BE, weapons might've just spilled out then if he had any. ]

[dancing_flames]

[Shuda has no weapons because the gacha is cruel and does not want to drop his sword!!]

[stilllovesyou]

I have a sword on a stick back at the cabin, but I don't really care about swords so I left it at home, I'm sorry.

[solutionary]

[Xiao should know Baizhu doesn't have either a weapon or strength for this]
