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. ))

We found a dismembered corpse encased into a wall and you're concerned about comfort?

[Good thing she cooperates otherwise Walter would have been a bigger asshole.

See! It's all about him! He wins!]

[jarcrash]

Nobody here is really crying and shaking the way you're 'supposed' to do it.

[ Except maybe her dear Amy. It's fine. ]

[collisionheart]

She let them check after all, right?

[ please don’t make this a thing please don’t make this a thing pl ]

[truthdefiler]

Her arms. Not her legs. If you'd like to check those...

[collisionheart]

[ Pleading look at Bibi here. ]

[jarcrash]

[ To Erika: ] You're a massive pest.

[ But Amy is giving her the puppydog eyes so yeah, leg check is go. You are treated to some very pretty and very pristine lower legs! Congratulations. ]

[truthdefiler]

I make no secret of it.

[Bibi is lucky she likes her.]

[jarcrash]

At least you're straight-forward.

[ Bibi is also a massive pest, and she is not as (intentionally) straight-forward about it. ]

[collisionheart]

[ Visible phew.

She’s being so normal about this. ]
