TRIAL TWO

[mayorityvote]

TRIAL

Once again, the investigations conclude -- though they're more ponderous this time, burdened by the number and knowledge of additional deaths, and the awareness that there's limited means of dealing with them -- and once again the ducks gather everyone at the back of the JojaMart along with Makima's wagon, Adela's quiet, the pile of evidence.

Everyone trundles into the loading bay, which isn't all that much livelier than before, penned in by stacks of shelves and crating; but at least it's functional, overly well-lit and there's tea to while away the time discussing murders and mayhem.

As the loading bay door slides closed, you're left with a wagonful of evidence, a double handful of murders and the knowledge that time is ticking down -- for everyone.

(( OOC: Welcome to trial: the sequel! 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. ))

He said he was only hit on the head, but we could get closer to see if there's something he's missing.

[rightmove]

Yeah.

[Said with all the optimism in the world.]

Care to help with that?

[snooping on everyone's bodies is Weird don't make him do this alone]

[linearcrash]

I know after I get hit really hard, I tend to not think about any other wounds, yo. [ Do they need to check Beel out? ]

[liberazoth]

If they killed Amy first, wouldn't Bibi have had time to get a decent lead on them? Did they just find her where she was hiding after?

[ but then that doesn't make sense, if there was a big mess leading from there to the blacksmith. ]

Or do you think Bibi ... saw it happen, and went back for them?

[moonblades]

[Mio crosses her arms.]

Stains as well, from the different substances from the lab. There was a coat and gloves, so I think we should look very closely at places not covered by those, like between sleeve and wrist, legs, feet...perhaps even hair.

... This way, even if multiple people were responsible for what happened last night... we might be able to find more answers.

[She's starting to wonder exactly how many people they're looking for and if they've only served to get themselves distracted from something right under their noses.]

[duckinghell]

[ ? ] Quack?

[moonblades]

[Mio nods. They should probably check Beel out.]

[linearcrash]

She might have seen it happen, yo. Might have even told Amy to hide while grabbing shears and couldn't have saved her in time. [ ... ] That would be pretty messed up.

[duckinghell]

[ it looks between the other duck and noah multiple times, the little gears in its head slowly moving


no duck? :< ]

[duckinghell]

[Shaking head more, putting a wing in front of the other duck's eyes, and then drawing it back again. NO WATCHING]

[theotherww]

Either or both culprits could be injured or stained. Best to be as thorough as possible.

[Let's leave some of that inspection to the young catgirl. Less weird and terrifying than two fifty year old men demanding to search your ankles.]

[duckinghell]

[shaking its head....no movies for you ducks.......]

[linearcrash]

[ can't believe you're the mom duck ]

[rightmove]

Good call. So...

[He starts listing off their objectives on his fingers.]

Stains, injuries... Dampness or signs of being overly clean, I suppose.

[Kind of vague and scattered but it's the best they've got.]

[moonblades]

I'm happy to help check. If I can have a moment, I'll try to organize what we've covered so far while we get organized...

[She's observed Erika a bit, so this should be doable! Maybe.]

check-a-beel

[linearcrash]

[ Anyways, he's going to be back over to the nerd nest ]

Hey, would it be cool if I looked you over? Just making sure you weren't hit any where else that you might not be aware of, you know?

[duckinghell]

[PLEASE IT DID NOT ASK FOR THIS!!!! HELP]

[sorathvau]

[The nerd nest…]

…Do whatever you have to.

[linearcrash]

[ congrats on your ducklings ]

[linearcrash]

[ Crouching down. ] Uh... think you could lift your shirt up? [ He doesn't want to be the weird on and strip him ]

[duckinghell]

[its going to abandon them in an alley it is NOT cut out for this]

[liberazoth]

[ you'd be surprised at who or what can serve as mom (or dad) these days

go duck go ]

[driftingknight]

Such a thing is not unusual in wars.

[Of course, given that he hasn't seen the movie...]

[sorathvau]

[Yes let’s not be like Baldr.

Beelzebub complies, pulling his shirt up. What Nine is met with is…a decent amount of muscle, for a nerd! But nothing in the way of injuries.]

[duckinghell]

[staring into distance accepting its new m/dilf status....]
