TRIAL TWO

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. ))

I think we should consider this possibility as well. The broken glass... maybe it's a result of dropping something out of surprise because someone else showed up.

[He nods.]

I doubt he would have expected to run into anyone else. He likely would have been focused entirely on his work.

Especially when crafting something like poison. That would take full concentration, just to ensure you got it right.

He would have had to make his way there when he noticed he was awake though, right? Unless he was up there already... the stairs are kind of a climb.

[ wouldn't he be aware there was a decent chance someone else might've beaten him there, if he really planned to murder anyone? ]

[Well, since Baldr overheard you and Adela, there's another possibility...]
