Rise and shine, Camp Gatonina.

With yesterday's announcement weighting on your mind, you are left to your own devices for the entirety of the morning. The 7:00 AM bugle call will announce breakfast as usual, and those who still manage to retain an appetite under the current circumstances are free to make their way over to the mess hall in order to grab a bite.

It is not until 12:00 PM that something changes. Coming as a surprise to none, given your past experiences, your body will move of its own accord towards the Mess Hall. You are powerless to resist. The Mess Hall doors will lock once everyone is inside, and for some reason — your vision will momentarily blur before everything snaps back into focus.

Winter Wizard, Purple Heart and Black Shadows will be seated at a table by the enclosed bulletin board. Their bunnies will be beside them, dressed impeccably. They share a look, visibly uncomfortable, before they rise from their seats.

"So it seems one of your own has been killed. Now's the time to work together and find the responsible party."

"Nine hours remain to discuss and locate. Still have time."

"We'll help you as much as we can from our end, too, so... Good luck."

Well, you know the drill by now.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third trial!

We'll go over a few notes briefly as we will be playing this trial a bit differently than other games.

While there was a mini-investigation on Friday, today is the day participants can really dive in to investigate areas in the game setting, check over the body and review evidence that they find! Please see the toplevels in this post for more information. To help with the ease of the trial and for IC mechanics, only one location may be visited at a time. One of your NPCs will also be accompanying you on these visits.

Most importantly, before the trial is over, please place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously. Please also be sure to read the voting page carefully.

The yellow was a tab, like the kinds you pull. It came from the container-- which smelled like fireworks? It was empty, so there's a chance that it might be something like a smoke grenade or something along those lines? I'm not sure.

The casings definitely came from Hikage's gun.

[. . . . huh]

Is it possible it was a can of mace?
vigilantics: (we got double.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-27 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't, no.

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-27 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[huh]

I asked because there was mace available in the camp shop, but I don't remember anything about smoke bombs.
vigilantics: (let down my guard tonight.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-27 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I bought a can, so I can confirm they don't match.

[and that's all he wanted to know]

Mmm, all right. Thanks.

. . . I wonder if it's one of those rewards teams can get for "winning?"
vigilantics: (is get into your head.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-27 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a possibility. But unless everyone can have someone confirm what everyone else got, I'm not sure how to check.

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-27 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. If it was something we could've bought at the camp store it'd be a different matter entirely. But if it's not. . .

[he trails off]

Pretty much. And I doubt anyone is going to offer if they received one right now.

[hah]

Definitely not.

[but he's going to ask the directors a question]

Do you think someone improvised an explosive out of it by throwing it at the bonfire?
survivaltricks: (pic#13006403)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-27 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
If it was an explosive, then wouldn't it have blown up the bonfire if someone threw it at it?

I couldn't say. It might explain the smell of smoke and whatever else was off, but it's not like I can see what the damage is.

Though it's true that unless the culprit were much farther away, it'd be kind of a stupid thing to do.

[just. snorts wryly]

Hey, while I have you, 45--

You saw Guy yesterday after curfew ended, right?

I ran into him after I went back to ant cabin, yes?

[ akira it sounds like you have a theory. ]

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-27 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[he has no theories yet, he's just checking up on a curfew effect]

Could you describe his effect to me? He said his balance was off and he was tripping all over the place. I just want to make sure someone saw him.

Flayn saw it too, but...

When I came in, he was lying on the floor, facefirst on the boards. I don't think he ever actually tried to get up fully during the conversation I had with him, just propped himself up on his elbows--

Oh, right. Flayn headpatted him and spooked him. He tripped over himself quite a bit trying to get to the door, and even then he had to use it to prop himself up.

Does that help?

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-28 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[. . . hm]

A little, yes.

He didn't have any problems with hearing loss too, did he?

... Not as far as I could tell? But it isn't as if any of us would have been doing proper checks or anything. He kept up with conversation fine without looking at us, though.

[ guy, having a conversation while facedown on the floor. ]

[I]

[rip Guy]

[HE SNORTS A LITTLE but he also rubs the back of his neck, expression sheepish and a little apologetic for poor Guy]


All right. Since he was alone that doesn't change whether he could have faked it or not, but I wanted to make sure his account and someone else's lined up.

Huh. Probably whatever we smelled at the bonfire last night, then.
