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. ))

Sure, but how many are going to think to go for a magic potion over dragging or using a cart or something?

[He shrugs.]

Could be nothing. Could be something. We caught Sora because his shoes were too clean.

[linearcrash]

Hey, there was a puddle of water and a hose at the animal place. Someone definitely cleaned something off there. [ Maybe they should be looking at clean or damp people ]

[theotherww]

Dongrang's killer would need to wash the blood off. Someone might have missed a spot or been too thorough.

[rightmove]

It's not the worst theory... Weren't there water spots on the knife, too? Someone was talking about checking for injuries earlier. Sounds like our next move if we want to be thorough.

[theotherww]

I agree. We'll have to make people roll up their sleeves at minimum.

[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]

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]
