TRIAL ONE

TRIAL


Once the various investigations have concluded, and the majority of the evidence has been dropped off with Makima and the ducks -- said ducks will scatter to start shepherding any travelers along to JojaMart, for some reason! Those already at JojaMart have a little less walking to do. Meantime, Makima has loaded the evidence onto the daycare wagon -- carefully packaged, because who wants a spill here -- and driven it off after the ducks.

There is, in fact, a back entrance to the JojaMart -- almost like a loading bay, but once it's opened and the wagon has been driven in, you can see that there's a small podium there along with a number of chairs and small tables. It looks like extra pieces used in either the Community Center or other areas around town may be stored here. The ceiling is tall and it's roomy, there's a scant few windows, but the white LED ceiling lighting and rather bare interior is only livened up by some larger spare whiteboards, extra shelving containing tools and knickknacks and a plant or two.

Once everyone is in -- Adela, Makima, a number of assistant ducks and the current inhabitants of the village -- the loading bay door is tugged closed by some enterprising assistants. There's a small door that probably leads into the front of JojaMart, but that's it. One of the ducks sets about serving tea in the slightly gloomy atmosphere.

You're welcome to examine the evidence in the wagon, discuss amongst yourselves, and figure out whodunnit in these first murders.

(( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (until 8 PM EST/5 PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. As this is scapegoat style, a correct vote is not necessary. Please remember to vote unless otherwise discussed with the mods, as that is our AC for this game. ))

Erika even tried breaking a window, [ typical. ] but there was some kind of invisible wall, so we couldn't get out...

[ ... huh. ]

We all just went to bed as normal, so if the house was locked we wouldn't have noticed - well, not all of us were there. Don't know where Mio went and Beelzebub was in the sewers for some reason.

[hey why is this a thing to go OOOOOOH~ about]

I was with Mio last night, if you were curious.
collisionheart: (039)

[personal profile] collisionheart 2024-03-09 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ busted. ]

We were really worried about you.
revelate: (62)

[personal profile] revelate 2024-03-09 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, Amy. I hadn't meant to worry anyone. We didn't know we'd end up trapped there.

[personal profile] collisionheart 2024-03-09 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe... we could leave notes next time. Just in case.

If you're trying to suggest something, say it plainly.

It was all right.

I was exploring.

[He doesn't just like to hang out in the sewers for fun he totally does]
jarcrash: (πŸ’“ 34)

[personal profile] jarcrash 2024-03-09 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
And did you come up with anything interesting?
sorathvau: (than a vanishing act)

[personal profile] sorathvau 2024-03-09 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
There are beds down there.

[This is interesting enough.]
mirrari: (Default)

[personal profile] mirrari 2024-03-09 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they comfortable?

[Are they damp....]
sorathvau: (than a vanishing act)

[personal profile] sorathvau 2024-03-09 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Surprisingly so.
mirrari: (001)

[personal profile] mirrari 2024-03-09 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
How low are your standards for comfort, though? Though it's not the strangest place I've heard of to sleep.

[Considering there are entire underground cities... The sewers are just Better Illumina in her mind now.]

...I'll make sure to always come back in time for breakfast, Bibi.

[Even if his new home is in the sewers.]

... lord of the flies, indeed.

[ Flies that love gross places!! ]

You better make sure to clean up each time.

[ She will tie you to a chair and febreze you if she has to. ]

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-09 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
... Beds? How... [ can you sleep in a sewer, is his main question, but instead, he asks: ] What else is down there, then?
sorathvau: (Default)

[personal profile] sorathvau 2024-03-09 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Small furnishings. Enough to make living comfortable.

[Comfortable enough for a sewer…]
aurevoirx2: (I can't go back anymore)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-09 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
... is someone living down there?
