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. ))

all about athos

[divector]

[ Ibuki looks a little worse for the wear, considering the whole go-kart fiasco, but he's going to do his best to describe all this anyway. ]

Waltaquin found Athos in the go-kart area. Xiao and I went to help her after we saw her message on the network.

Athos was injured—he had claw and bite marks all over him. They were rather big and elliptical, so around this size? [ He spreads his arms enough to try to show around 40mm. ]

And while I couldn't get a good look as to the exact reason why, he was favoring one of his hind legs. I took a few pictures from a distance, but he was too agitated to let me get close enough to see his legs clearly. I got...sent flying during this [ goddamn nat 1 roll ], but Crea was able to heal him when he showed up. Thanks for answering the call again.

Anyway, thankfully he calmed down enough to just keep growling at us, so I was able to take a closer look at his condition and take more pictures. His eyes were the most focused I've ever seen, his paws and claws don't have anything stuck on them...what else. Right, his little headdress and bow are all intact.

I also managed to take a picture while he was yawning. There was...blood-red goop there, as well as black debris stuck in his teeth.

The before and after-Crea pictures should be pretty self-explanatory, but I'll clarify when they were taken if you can't tell.

[ He'll have a huge amount of pictures ready for further examination if anyone asks, but he's also going for refreshments. Let him have this, wow. ]

[chrysaline]

What... else could have made claw and bite marks? There really aren't other beasts on the island, are there?

[dakicover]

Aside from the birds, I don't think so. And those seem like an easy meal for Athos, considering the size difference.

[ hmmm ]

How many people remaining can summon beasts and what not?

[necrotiem]

Myself. You saw my undead detain him when you arrived to heal him.

[idologue]

Waltaquin has summoning of 'creatures' on her profile. Psyche has 'divine protection' which will make a 'guardian' intervene - I don't know what shape that would take.

Ibuki can control creatures of his own world, but we confirmed last week that no Vectors exist in this space.

These are the only ones I can find, but with how vague the profiles often are, I don't think the list is exhaustive.

[gravitys]

Might be that it wasn't summoned, too. Like innate more.

[ A shrug. The powers are, as she said, hard to read sometimes. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Psyche frowns and gives a little shake of her head. ]

I know you only have my word for it, but it's not like that. It would be, um... a power channeled through me.

[idologue]

[ A nod. ]

I see. Thank you for clarifying.

[necrotiem]

I've the skeletons and the dragon. You'll get black debris out of neither of them, however.

[divector]

Hmm, I haven't seen another Athos walking around, that's for sure... Maybe another experiment?
