POPULATION: 36 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.

Same as usual, yes.

[the buns appreciate the pats, though. trine wiggles her little nose.]

[ruffboi]

Just wanted to check something - is it okay if we like. Do a round up of who used their powers this week, as long as we don't say what it was?

[gatonina]

Could ask, yes. Okay to simply say it was or wasn't used. Would not advise hints about how.

[ruffboi]

Items the killer would be able to get is - stuff you can buy from the camp store, stuff they or somebody else brought here with them and has on their profile, stuff that was given out as a prize for tasks, or stuff they found breaking into someplace.

Anything else? I guess there's also stuff you guys give us when we beg for it.

[gatonina]

[they just give him a nod, at that.]

Yes. Sounds accurate.

[ruffboi]

Okay. Could we ask if a particular item was something available in the camp store? Would you be able to answer for that?

[gatonina]

Cannot provide confirmation, no. May be able to learn by asking others.

[ruffboi]

Okay. Could you at least confirm that the stork can and the purple glowstick aren't items you guys gave out just because we asked for 'em?

[gatonina]

[they shake their head again, apologetically.]

Cannot confirm, no. Same answer.

[ruffboi]

Would we be allowed to reveal somebody's team and power if it's 'cause we're accusing them of using it to murder?

[gatonina]

Would fall under rules against doing so. Could be false accusation in order to reveal to all. Still counts. Still punished.

[ruffboi]

. . . Could I please have a smoke bomb?

[gatonina]

[a tilt of their hood.]

Cannot provide, no.

[ruffboi]

Is there any situation here where if I asked you or Winter or Purple for something like that, you would give it to me?

[gatonina]

[they sound a little tired.]

Appreciate effort. Working very hard, Magnus. But is different answer expected?

[they're sorry, magnus.]
