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. ))

BODY EXAMINATION

[killerwaves]

[Here with helpful kittybots for all your body(?) examination needs!]

[plunges]

[ Xiao hates that he has to do this, but he'll go ahead and bring the scalpel with him to Nona's body. ... This is terrible. He grimaces as he looks at her corpse, takes in a deep breath.

He's going to look at the laceration on her head. How deep is it, and does it look like the scalpel could have possibly caused it? ]

[killerwaves]

[It’s pretty deep, but it’s not a match for the scalpel.]

[plunges]

[ Well, it was worth a try. Thanks, mods! ]

[gluttoning]

[hoo boy okay

Doing a smell/taste test on the scalpel, Alice's veil, and the nail bat to try and determine species for the blood at bare minimum.

He will also scent check that against the bodies provided as well as the birds, and will unfortunately take as little of a taste as he can if he can't figure it out by smell.]

[killerwaves]

[The scalpel smells/tastes like bird blood. The veil smells/tastes like human and elf blood. The nail bat smells/tastes like human blood.

None of the bodies smell or taste like bird blood.]

[gluttoning]

[Does the veil and nail bat match any of the bodies, scent wise? Again, he will taste if he needs to.]

[killerwaves]

[The veil, unsurprisingly, matches... one of the arms! The smaller one, just to be clear. Terrible taste test.

The nail bat matches up with Nona.]

Nona check 2.0

[chosenwang]

[ Hello! he's here to check Nona. In particular, he will be checking the wounds on her head to see if they look like they were caused by glass or taking a tv screen to the face?

After that he is going to very very carefully open her mouth to check inside. Are we going to see any surprise liger fur inside of her mouth? Any extra blood or anything that stands out? ]

[killerwaves]

[Is he checking the wounds visually or against something physical?

Mouth-wise: nothing bloody or furry, but there’s wood splinters and mild gray staining on her teeth.]

[chosenwang]

[ Unfortunately they are fresh out of broken tv screens here

he can check it using the glass found on her. Also hello? Gray staining?

What color is her tongue just to knock that out? ]

[killerwaves]

[Damn, Wang Lu, what are your bulging muscles for if not to transport flatscreens smh smh...

The laceration does not match the glass on her.

Gray staining. :) Her tongue looks fine though.]

[chosenwang]

[ They are used for impressing the masses clearly

Mwah thank you mods ]

NONA

[solutionary]

[Hello mods, can Baizhu look at Nona's teeth? Can he tell why they're gray, did she eat black frosting or something more insidious? Charcoal?]

[killerwaves]

[It's not dark enough for black frosting or charcoal, and it's really just trace amounts.]

[solutionary]

[were the teeth dying? That kind of gray/blue? A picture if you don't know what I mean.

Or is it more like a stain from something else? Is the rest of her mouth healthy?]

[killerwaves]

[The rest of her mouth looks great! The teeth themselves look healthy too. They just look stained.]

[solutionary]

[would the stain be recognizable from some other substance? food/ink/blood/medicine?]

[dakicover]

[ are any of the victims' hands able to be checked to see if they match with the glove? ]

[killerwaves]

[ With rigor mortis set in he's not able to get the hands into the gloves. That being said, it's pretty easy to tell on sight that the gloves are too small for Zelkov's hands and way too big for Nona's hands. ]

Zelkov

[dancing_flames]

[He hates this but what can you do

So. As someone who is, uh, intimately familiar with the removal of limbs via swords, does Zelkov's arm look like it could have been cut off with a sword? And if so, does it look like it was done by someone who knew what they were doing with a sword?]

[killerwaves]

[Based on his expertise, it does not look like a sword was used.]

[dancing_flames]

[Okay so how clean a cut are we talking for the bone here? Does it look like it needed any sort of sawing to get through or does it look like it only took a couple of blows?]

[chosenwang]

[ A nod towards bloody kitchen knife found by the body. Check that one, Shuda. ]

[Does it look like the kitchen knife could be a match?]
