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. ))

[Also not surprising. But Dongrang helpfully makes a correction.]

I'd certainly not say that about your cooking.

[jarcrash]

[ ... oh. She didn't expect that, context considered. ]

Mhmm! Goes to show you are not a totally hopeless case.

[mareum]

[He tends to go off on tangents in tense situations, it's fine.]

Hahaha. Did you consider me one before that?

[jarcrash]

Well, you never seemed too unreasonable but you haven't exactly proven yourself to me yet either.

[mareum]

[His expression turns a little cloudy at that. Ah, well. He doesn't really need to prove himself to anyone here.]

You'll have to forgive me for still navigating your standards, then.

It's no big deal. It's not as though you're obligated to.
