WEEK 5; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

TRIAL

Three dead, one vote. This might be a pit of a pickle, huh? Perhaps appropriately, the kittybots are serving pickles of all flavors today, along with food that might remind you of your childhood like ants on a log, gummy worm sundaes and adorable toast in sweet and savory profiles. To drink, are their best attempts at replicating the DD refreshers with a whole array of silly straws.

Off to the side in a booth of their own are the bodies as well as attendant kittybots (well two bodies and one arm); simply request which body you'd like to look at and the kitty bots will direct you appropriately, given the number of arms floating around. The kittybots continue to do 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. ))

Sungem -> Kakapo railway

[chrysaline]

[ Psyche has been studying the great(?) investigators of the resort as best she can. So here she is, armed with pictures and a reference scale for feet prints. ]

I was on Sungem when I heard the announcement, so I was looking around there... from the footprints, it looks like two people went over the railway from there to Kakapo, towards the lab. There were a lot of trampled plants all along the way, so maybe they were in a fight? There was blood on the rails near some knocked down trees, closer to Kakapo. Oh! And a little blood leading towards the lab, too.

[idologue]

Then it appears that Zelkov and his assailant fought all the way from the garden to the lab.

[gravitys]

Sounds like more than one victim was cut up this time.

[ Can't we ever just Kill Someone. Why is it always a production! ]

[idologue]

It appears so. Though judging by the descriptions, the arms were removed in very different fashions.

[gravitys]

Yeah, I'm assumin' they're all separate killers. Just easier that way, and that's how it's been usually.

[idologue]

I concur. Unless there is evidence that ties the crimes together, we should treat them as separate incidents.

[gravitys]

There's so much blood this time a check might be useful.

[chrysaline]

It sounds like it... it's a little surprising there wasn't more blood, though. [ Just the one bit of spray. ] The footprints were all bigger than mine, so I suppose whoever was with him would have to be about as tall as Zelkov.

[finalmix]

Yeah, there was like, a really odd lack of blood in the garden too - I kept trying to find some but nada.

[ he is maybe also a little weirded out by that ]

[chrysaline]

I guess if they were similarly skilled, maybe it was hard for either of them to land a hit? I don't think anyone here can heal fast enough that there'd be no traces otherwise.

[microtransactions]

Same goes for the aviary, though it sounds like what happened there probably wasn't related to Zelkov and his killer...

[chosenwang]

[ Looking at her height. ]

That only rules out you and Little Xiao. [ :D ] On a serious note, there are quite the number of people around his height. [ Her boyfriends included ]

[plunges]

[ He'd give Wang Lu a look again if he wasn't feeling like garbage. (Man, he's never going to let that go, is he!!!) ]

[chosenwang]

[ It's how he shows affection. ]

[chrysaline]

[ She gives him a little frown! For both those things, actually. ]

I have some pictures showing the size compared to my sword... I don't know how much that will narrow it down, though.

[chosenwang]

[ He's glad for no Psyche feet pics existing ]

That would work just fine. We can compare shoes to your sword if need be.
