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. ))

I think we should do that for all the bloody evidence we have, yes.

He could lie to us, of course, but... I doubt that he would lie about Nona's murder.

[gluttoning]

[He sighs tiredly, but he still nods. Her logic makes sense.]

It's okay. I want to find out what happened to all of them.

Let me know what you want me to do.

[idologue]

Could you confirm the sources of blood on the bloody items we have brought in?

Alice's veil, the scalpel and the bloodied nailbat.

[gluttoning]

I would need something to compare it to, if you want to know who. But I can try. I'd be able to tell if it was a person or not, at least.

[He can start with that.]

[idologue]

The bodies are here. As are the dead birds. I think that is a lot of sample material, no?

[gluttoning]

[He nods.]

Yeah, that's enough. So long as everybody is okay with me taking that kind of check.

...I'll be careful. I promise.

[idologue]

[ Lacus exhales slowly and nods as well. ]

... thank you.

RESULTS OF TASTE TEST

[gluttoning]

[And now that he has gone and done all that:]

The blood on the scalpel is birds.

The blood on the veil is... sort of like a human, but another species I'm not familiar with. It matches the dismembered arm.

The blood on the nailbat is human, and it matches Nona.

[chosenwang]

[ He's going to just give Beel's shoulder a squeeze. Hey buddy ] I trust you.

[gluttoning]

[He just nods shallowly.]

...Thanks.

It's okay. I'm getting used to being brought up at this point. [It's been every week!!!!!!! He's tired.] I'm not mad.

[townmusician]

You should probably be mad. What if they wanted to frame you?

[Because it does keep happening.]

[gluttoning]

I guess they could. [He frowns. He doesn't like that.]

We've been able to figure it out every time before, though. I want to think we can do it again.

[idologue]

[ Have we.

Have we now.

Have we really. ]

[dupiety]

[we don't talk about that one we didn't]

[chrysaline]

[gluttoning]

[Look we got one of them last week!!!!

:(]

[dupiety]

I would like to hope that we have all moved on past the basic assumption that a bite mark means you are involved.

[Sigh.]

[gluttoning]

It's okay. If it makes sense, they should say something.

Most of the time, I don't mind. [Lobelia is probably the only exception because lmaoooooooooo]

[townmusician]

We never figured out who killed Skywarp.

[He’s just gonna say it.]

…But hopefully this isn’t that hard…

[He says with very, very little faith.]

[chosenwang]

[ Wang Lu never suspected him previously and was only annoyed at him tasting evidence that could cast him in a bad light yall ]

We weren't bringing you up for eating crimes. Just for help. While I do not want to make assumptions on Lacus' part, I believe she has doubt on everyone considering what she has lost.

[divector]

[ ibuki in the background still only thinking of how big mouths would have to be to bite a liger ]

[chosenwang]

[ You do you Twin ]

[idologue]

Everyone here whom I trusted without reservations died tonight.

[ No use denying that. ]

[chosenwang]

I understand and will not hold anything against you in your quest for justice. I hope everyone else will keep this in mind as well.

[gluttoning]

[Just looking over in her direction with tired empathy before nodding.]

...No, you're right. It makes sense.

I'll do what I can to help.
