WEEK 5; TRIAL
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. ))
garden~
[ anyway throughout this entire sharing he has. pictures on his u-pinion showing what he's talking about so feel free to ask him for comparison pics and stuff! ]
There was a crater outside the entrance to the garden. [ okay it is not really a crater but a point of impact according to mod text but josh will call it That because-- ] It looks something like what happened with the... Vergilius and Lobelia Incident, but not as deep, or destructive, I think. It's about 1.5 feet by 2 feet and not as deep, so much smaller than that destruction fiasco.
That said, there seemed to be a fight...? Of some sorts, at least, in the garden. Most of the plants in the tropical exhibits were trampled, and I can't really tell whether there was like, a start point to the fight or something since it seems fairly even all around, but it was mostly closer to the garden entrance instead of reaching the herb garden in the back.
Sooooooooooo. There are footprints. Going into the garden - they're bigger than my feet so we're probably looking at someone around 6 feet tall who made those prints, and there's another set of two prints leaving the garden buuuuut they're kinda scuffed up because clearly some people have been learning over the past 3 weeks or so not to make things easy for us.
[ is he a little salty? a bit. ]
Oh and, one of the sculptures that is not a trash heap or glass bottle animal escaped any trace of destruction, along with the art supplies that were used to make it? Weird. Probably someone didn't want to like, destroy their magnum opus or something. [ he is getting minamimoto vibes so he is staring into the middle distance a bit. ]
... The memorials weren't spared, by the way, sooooooo someone might want to fix them after we leave the sandbar.
[ anyway he's going to go get some ramen. and maybe some strawberry crepes. ]

Zelkov and I have been working on it tirelessly for the last two weeks. It's a display of our group. Each cabana, each person who was here.
[ If they check the sculpture they'll probably be able to figure out which color combination is meant to be which cabana, too. ]
It signifies that we were here. For however short a period of time, we existed on this island together. We felt and fought and loved and died. There is meaning in each and every one of our existences in this place.
That's what we were trying to express.
Unveiling it here and now, when one of you has bloodied their hands on the artist... Even then, its meaning will not change.
no subject
So, a killer who believed in the same message at least enough to not destroy the sculpture it stood for but not enough to spare the creator of it.
Sure, that tracks. [ sighs. ]
no subject
I have not talked about our project to anybody, so I don't know if anybody here would have known the meaning of it from Zelkov himself.

[ a pause. ]
Though we also have to consider that Zelkov was about the same height as me. So those footprints might actually be his, if those were clear versus the scuffed ones.
no subject
That is if we're going with the one person went in, one person was already there, and two people... moved outside [ he was going to say "walked" but hm. ] together.
no subject
[ as far as he knows, zelkov can't levitate? ]
no subject
Unless you're saying that the other person like, left the crater but no footprints?
[ please picture josh's tone as being very "duh" i'm sorry ]
no subject
Did it seem intentionally left alone?
no subject
no subject
That would suit him; he felt quite strongly about struggling and fighting to survive - but enough to guard his art?
This may be a tangent, however.
no subject
If Zelkov was attacked while working on it, it may simply have been that he was already in front of it - shielding it basically on accident.
