WEEK TWO: TRIAL

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.

Weren't there a set of brass...I think they were called brass knuckles?

[ miming his own knuckles over where his collarbone is, in the direction of hikage's claw marks. ]

[axilium]

... Beau bought a set, right? Unless I'm remembering that wrong.

But I think the store still has some. So, the weapons aren't necessarily limited to just one set available.

[voidbreaker]

There are some still in the store this week though. Do they restock?

...

And that'd depend on if they're spiked or not. Otherwise he'd have weird bruising at best, probably.

[slobjection]

Think there'd be different marks on the body if it was caused by brass knuckles, yeah.

[shixiong]

I was thinking along the lines of possibly being spiked, too. I'm not sure if purchases can be repeated, either.

[slobjection]

Doesn't hurt to check... we should consider the other available weapons, too.

[axilium]

Ask Beau to punch someone with hers and we can check.

[disreguarded]

Huh what. [ she heard her name. she lifts her head from where she's chilling with asch. ]

[axilium]

You bought a set of brass knuckles, right? Think they could leave claw marks, or no?

[disreguarded]

Oh, yeah, I bought them, but they're... like, not sharp? [ she pulls them out of her pocket and sleepily hands them over. they're clean and bright pink! and blunt. ]

[shixiong]

[ ! ]

Thank you for sharing, Lady Beau. [ that's one answer solved. ] When did you buy them, if you don't mind me asking?

[disreguarded]

Last week. Like... Monday of last week? Before the trial we did for Yu.

Dimitri checked, I had them when we were doing pocket checks.

[axilium]

[he looks over them, before handing them back.]

All right, good to know. Thanks.

[unanswering]

Can we not request anything strenuous of her?

[you fucks she hasn't healed up yet]

She'll do it, is the thing, I'm saying no on her behalf. Pass them to someone else if you need to check.

[axilium]

It's fine, no one seriously needs to punch anyone.

[unanswering]

You say that, and yet history shows it will happen.

[nie huaisang is tired of trials]

[axilium]

Well, blame whoever killed Hikage.

[voidbreaker]

I can punch something if you're that determined to stop the punching lady from punching things.

[slobjection]

The punching lady needs a break every now and then, so yes.

[voidbreaker]

It's gonna be a non-issue if they're blunt, probably. Also she can let me know herself if she's up to punching or not.

[unanswering]

If they'd like to be sure, then I'd appreciate that, young master Carbide.

[voidbreaker]

Sure.

If they're blunt I don't think there's gonna be an issue, but she can shout if she needs to me to clock something.

[disreguarded]

[ she makes a grouchy face at him. LET HER PUNCH. ]

[unanswering]

[binch sit down you can't fight like this.]

[disreguarded]

[ it's fine literally the only two people who can make her behave were both like "do NOT" so she's resting. :T ]
