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.

That does stick out that there wasn't any sign of a struggle. What happened at the forest occurred before or after the murder.

[ is her guess right now. ]

And whatever was used was procured... elsewhere, then, if it's not the same one.

[coastal]

It depends on what they find at the bonfire, I think. We'll need to learn more about what could've burned before we figure out the timeline. After all the gun got tossed in the lake - why not put that in the fire too?

[wisterin]

If there was residual gunpowder in the gun, the fire could set that off, couldn't it?

[coastal]

[





she's a ye olde]

I-Is that why?

[wisterin]

It's possible.

[ but like

shinobu uses a sword, not a gun. i'm not googling to confirm. ]

[recrypt]

If there was still unburnt powder remaining, yes, it could have combusted. Depends.

[ i don't know how the fuck hikage's gun works so this is an in theory answer only, but yes. ]

[wisterin]

Then, it's likely someone who knows enough about guns.

[coastal]

[she's

nodding]

I suppose that... makes more sense then.

[wisterin]

[ today, they are both learning more about guns.

She nods. ]

They didn't want to cause more injury to themselves.

[coastal]

So if that's the reason why, then it would be someone who'd be familiar with guns as weapons.

[wisterin]

It narrows it down a little.

[ Which is better than nothing. ]

[coastal]

I'd take a little over the nothing we currently have, I suppose.
