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 know that some merchants would do it with fire. Maybe someone that has some sort of fire magic, if not Waltaquin?

[dancing_flames]

Everyone here has already seen mine, but I don't mind doing it again for an example.

[butcherspice]

If y'would. Just to give the option a fair shake.

[dancing_flames]

Might wanna cover your ears.

[He lifts his arm; a considerable distance away on the sandbar, a pink gridded sphere appears hovering over the ground, which then detonates about a second later.]

Temenos, Ibuki and Wang Lu have all seen the limits on my powers here, since I wasn't holding back while fighting that Nomu.

I can't make more than six at a time, and I can't make them any larger than that. They also don't immobilize their targets the way they normally do at home, so any intended victim could just run out of the way before they explode if they're fast enough.

[butcherspice]

That so. Leaves a few options open then...

[Time to both check how the crater itself compares to the one at the scene of Alice's demise and how any debris might compare to the shiny pseudo-glass he has.]

[killerwaves]

[The craters are not a match. As for the other thing, looks like Billy's finally found his missing black shiny puzzle piece. Congrats!]

[butcherspice]

[Thanks! He hates it!]

[butcherspice]

Fire magic, eh? If we go with that, we got Shuda and Alice herself. Haven't seen Mags' space magic in action, so couldn't tell ya how that works.

Though, hmm. These little profiles call Shuda's 'explosion spheres, don't they? We're gonna have to set up a shootin' range at this rate.

[microtransactions]

Thanks to some of the fun side effects this week, I can tell you at least one person has.

But if we're really just going to be going down the list with a shooting range, I don't mind demonstrating either.

[dupiety]

I would appreciate that, actually. I would like to see what your elemental orbs look like.

In addition, Magolor...what sort of creatures can you summon?

[microtransactions]

Small, little things. I think the word a lot of people would use for a lot of the species where I'm from would be 'cute,' actually, myself included. Billy could confirm the general ... design philosophy of the people and beings I'm used to, considering he saw some of my memories this week.

[ with a gesture of his hands... this thing appears! it looks around a bit confusedly before hovering, and is like. the size of a squishable, maybe. ]

I know it's just my word and all, but I can't pull them from nothing, and this little guy's all I've been able to get here?

[butcherspice]

Just to make sure you ain't hiding any black holes or supernovas that could make a dent in the railway like that.

[microtransactions]

Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. It's volatile magic, so stand back a bit so you don't get zapped, 'kay?

[ what can you do about it. we do not see the beelgate happening in the background, i guess. though it seems they've pretty solidly solved the alice thing.

he'll have to hop up in the air and focus for a moment, that same rune circle from his sword summoning last week appearing in front of a hand for a brief moment before a small orb with a starburst heart of distinctly electrical affinity appears and shoots at the ground, bursting in a small scatter of sparks.

he'll raise his hand again, focuses some more, for a distinctly longer amount of time, and this time instead of a single violet orb there's a triad of fireballs of about the same size, spiraling around each other before impacting on an empty stretch of sandbar as well.

then he's just easing his way back down to the ground. there you go. ]

I can only do fire and lightning. For the record, Crea... would have seen them when they were a lot more powerful than they are now.
