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. ))

Not too high up. I was able to snatch it down easy without climbin' nothing.

But you got a point. Could be that Alice already popped her clogs by the time she was Athos' lunch. Must've been a lucky break for the killer to have just the thing to cover their tracks.

[Imagine framing a dog for murder. Billy might vote for whoever framed the dog on principle.]

[necrotiem]

Hm? [Popped her ... what? Her lips twitch.] Pff... hahaha... What an expression.

That doesn't account for the crop, unless it was damaged only on accident. We also know Athos was able to get his mouth on something resembling those scraps... If it was explosive, the beast would have taken the brunt of it.

[butcherspice]

Bein' smashed don't give us much to go on with intention. But the crop was under the debris if we're thinkin' about timing.

I know the pooch got a bit banged up. Anythin' indicate by what? You lot are filled with surprises about what mass destruction you can break out.

[necrotiem]

Heh, aren't we?

That's...claw and bite marks, but his own paws were clean.

His hindquarters were also injured but he was too volatile for them to look closer, Ibuki said. [She was on arm duty.]

cw gore mention

[butcherspice]

Were they now? How about that. If Athos mauled Alice on his own, he'd have his mitts covered in pieces of her, wouldn't he?

How bad did he look from what you could tell?

[idologue]

I am wondering if whatever crushed the device as well as her riding crop already killed her along with it and Athos merely ate her remains?

[necrotiem]

[Nodding a little bit, Waltaquin takes time to consider before answering.]

And if he inflicted his own wounds, we'd see the same.

He was well enough to lunge at me when I approached but able to be subdued by my undead with little fuss. He was quite agitated...I think the hind end was the worst of it, but Ibuki or Crea could tell you better.

[divector]

Yeah, good point.

I wasn't able to get pictures of his hind legs pre-Crea without setting him off. But I agree the hind end has to be the worst of it, though it did somehow miss his tail.

[dakicover]

If we need to, I can say for a fact that the major wounds caused by Kanon actually scarred over. [ he'll pull down his turtleneck (the one he came to the island in) to show a couple of nasty scars. ] I figure this has to do with some of my powers being blocked. So checking Athos wouldn't be totally impossible...

[ it just means they have to subdue a liger. ]

[dakicover]

The majority seemed to be around the hind area, yeah. So I wonder if Athos, and thus, maybe Alice, was being pursued?

[necrotiem]

Heh... And stopped rather abruptly, at that, if they were.

But if they were close together and Alice was incapacitated by something else before Athos took her arm... They couldn't have been close together.
