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. ))

So someone was playing chemistry or something? What do they even do?

[driftingknight]

The laboratory can be used to synthesize all sorts of items. Eisuke-san was telling me how he had made apples that could be used as bombs.

[theotherww]

Blue liquid created in the lab would be poison. Brown...well, it's likely a combination of three or more colors, so that could be anything.

[faildeus]

What could it look like if you mix them all together?

[theotherww]

According to the lab texts, there's an equal chance for any of the effects to take place. Explosion, corrosion, poison, or growth.

[driftingknight]

That seems rather inefficient, but I suppose if you just wanted someone dead...

[liberazoth]

My question is... why blue? I don't think anyone here would drink something someone else offered to them at night when, um. Things are the way they are.

Even if they didn't know what it would do, I don't think anyone we found would be that...

[ carefree? like nine? ]

And I haven't heard anything about a weapon that might have been covered in it so far, but maybe...

[driftingknight]

Was anyone drinking alcohol last night? You could likely have disguised a liquid of that color in some sort of cocktail without arousing suspicion...

[theotherww]

Only an idiot would leave that sort of thing to chance.

But something tells me they didn't get the chance to use either one.

[faildeus]

But, uh... what about the color? I, um... couldn't find any signs of poison on him, even though I tried looking...

[ maybe it's a poison that just puts him to sleep? but if they're lethal, surely it must leave some mark... ]

[theotherww]

I'm thinking they had to change plans. The lab is a mess.

[Seriously, the disrespect!]

[linearcrash]

Huh. Maybe it's good I didn't drink that shit, yo.

[illprotecteveryone]

...um, please don't drink anything you find in a laboratory?

[Nine, you worry her]

[linearcrash]

Not talking about the stuff in the lab. That guy [ wave to faldeus ] found a thermos with some mysterious stuff in it.

[liberazoth]

Please don't drink strange substances you find lying around.

[linearcrash]

Yeah, yeah. [ He makes no promises! ]

[theotherww]

...how are you so stupid?

[linearcrash]

Hey, I didn't actually drink it. [ Just thought about it ]

[theotherww]

It was a strange liquid on the floor! There's something wrong with your sense of self-preservation for even thinking it!

[hyperbloom]

...Dude.

[ Just. Why. ]

[linearcrash]

What? I didn't actually do it. [ Like that makes it better ]

[hyperbloom]

It's not much better that you even considered it...

[ NINE, WHY. ]

[faildeus]

Were you still thinking about drinking it even though I told you that...?

[linearcrash]

[ doo de doo ] Uh. Maybe.

[faildeus]

[ BIG SIGH. ]
