( TRIAL - WEEK 4 )
 At exactly 11:30 am, all residents who are still asleep will be jolted awake by a sharp, burning pain that spreads across their whole body. A simple look will reveal no visible injuries, oddly enough, and the pain will fade away as soon as they're properly awake. Those early birds who are already up and about will feel nothing — except maybe a strange, mysterious sense of relief as they go on about their business. Lucky them. Moments later, an announcement will come through the static-filled PA system: And true to his words, anyone who doesn't make their way to the Outdoor Dining Area before noon will be dragged kicking and screaming regardless of where they've sequestered themselves. Sucks to be you, huh? Upon arriving there, however, residents will be given the menu, one copy of the rulebook, one pencil, one notepad, and a cheque folder. Due the Kitchen and Dining Hall getting wrecked, lunch and dinner will mostly consist of grilled and barbecued menu items. Hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, and items that require little preparation — all the residents have to do is ask in order to receive. Similarly, all beverages will be retrieved from a hundred quart cooler that has been placed by the side of the pool. Not as fancy as usual, but at least the pool is clean now. Some inflatable pool toys lazily swim in the water, along with pool noodles. Every now and then, the waters will vibrate to the sound of buzz saws and assorted power tools. Looks like the Disposal Room, Dining Hall and Kitchen are under reparations. A tent has been placed over the area to shield the residents from the sun, and to make up from the lack of transparencies everyone will receive a small booklet containing each resident's profile. They look a little bit like shitty PowerPoint presentation handouts, but maybe it's part of the charm. The profiles of the deceased are included, as always. A second tent has been set up in the parking lot, complete with an air conditioning on the inside. Its use will become rapidly apparent once the victims corpses have been wheeled in. Anyone who wishes to step into this area will be asked to wash their hands, and will be given a pair of latex-free gloves and a hairnet by a staff members who is stationed nearby. Residents are required to dispose of both items before returning to their table; a trash bin is available outside of the tent for this purpose. Evidence found during the investigation, on the other hand, will be displayed in a table by the pool shed. Any items found by the residents on Friday will be displayed here for further examination. Finally — one of the grandfather clocks has been kidnapped from its respective floor to show the current hour. Please do remember you have until 9:00 PM to figure out whodunit and cast your vote. And if anyone tries to leave the area before the trial is over? They'll discover an invisible wall blocking their path.  Characters will be given nine (9) hours to discuss everything related to the investigation to hopefully solve the mystery behind this week's murder. No one will be allowed to leave the Pool/Outdoor Dining Area (the pool shed will also be locked), and all characters must cast their vote before 9PM EST. You may do so on this week's voting page. If you have any questions or doubts, shoot us a PM or a PP over at voting | profiles | menu | locations | ic rulebook |
WHAT IN THE WORLD KILLED APOLLO JUSTICE??
[. . . Kaito's in the pool now, floating on Akira's skeleton arm to keep his injured shoulder above water. what the fuck, Kaito]
I examined Apollo's neck again just to be sure. We know he died from asphyxiation, not the stab wounds, and it looks like he was strangled with something long and thing. Like. . . a pole.
Or a microphone stand.
Does anyone know who the Entertainer is?
no subject
[ hmm. ]
By the way, your way of getting everyone's attention is much more preferable.
no subject
no subject
Is it a competition. . .
no subject
no subject
[just kind of deadeyes him because he has no earthly idea what to say to that]
no subject
no subject
[he's a thief not an arsonist]
no subject
no subject
at least it's not fire]
I don't know... it would be good to have it to compare to, though. Because if it is, then... we'd know. And if it's not... we'd know we need to keep looking.
no subject
Exactly.
But, of course, if Apollo was killed with the microphone stand than the Entertainer has no reason to step forward and provide their item for me to check against his injuries.
That's why I'm asking if anyone knows who owns that role.
no subject
[THAT ASIDE...]
Is it even possible to kill with items? Not saying that to completely rule them out, but that seems kind of unfair, since we have roles that are specifically for weapons.
no subject
[so???]
And the Author killed with his pen, remember? I don't think there's any rule that says people can't kill with items.
There's nothing else that fits the impression made on Apollo's neck.
no subject
[~enigmatic~]
... But good point. I kinda forgot about that given, y'know...the whole thing where people were making fun of me about the lemon juice idea.
no subject
[glances down at the arm, then back up again. he just. shrugs. AH, WELL]
I kinda wish we could arm wrestle someone for a confession again.
no subject
no subject
[he acknowledges that]
But it doesn't hurt to ask, in case the Entertainer outed themselves to someone before they decided to kill Apollo.
no subject
[And we can't have easy!]
no subject
Yeah.
But we can't know to look for more difficult ways of proving a theory until we try the easy ways, right?
