TRIAL II

[lesmodsalouette]

Trial

At least this time you were given ample time to wreck your sleep schedule before the clocks gong at midnight (no apologies for such little sleep in the first place withstanding). The carnival looks just as you remember it, with the banquet and drinks refreshed. The spread is the same as before with two new additions: a platter of cute cupcakes that might remind you of someone, along with baozi of all types.

Like before, mind the pit in the middle and settle in to vote out the guilty party for the death of Siobhan "Shiv" Roy. With the benefit of experience, maybe this will be a little bit easier? With the mood weather lifted, there won't be any floods at trial at least.

(( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (until 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. As this is scapegoat style, a correct vote is not necessary. Please remember to vote unless otherwise discussed with the mods, as that is our AC for this game ))

Were they from the library side or the banquet hall side? How possible is it for the marks to come from someone really distressed about getting through it?

[arbalestrier]

Do you mean if they ran out the doors from the library?

[fourtuity]

Yeah, the ones connecting the library to the bathroom, that's what I meant.

[ what is the timeline here........ ]

[arbalestrier]

I believe the door to the bathroom was blocked off by a fire poker. The only viable exit were the doors to the banquet hall, which were damaged as if someone forced their way through. Perhaps the arsonist set fire to the library after blocking the doors and then broke the door handle to escape?

[There's definitely a hole in this but let him speculate uselessly.]

[fourtuity]

[ She's speculating uselessly as well. ]

Oh, hmm. Now that you mention it... Wonder if it was ultimately the broken door handle keeping the door from opening, or the items blocking it? So there could've been an escape, murder, blockage, then fire...

[ That could still fit the timeline? Maybe? ]

[baebladie]

The items that were blocking it, potentially.

[fourtuity]

So it's possible Siobhan could've somehow broke the handle going outside, catching the culprit about to set up... But that doesn't explain the soot Scarlet found, I think. Or how she broke the handle at all.

[ fuck this is a puzzle isn't it welp ]

[baebladie]

It would take a great amount of force to break it. Not to mention, the damage caused was extensive. Someone would think a blast of some kind hit it.

[ Not guaranteed to be correct but the descriptions plus he was nearby G'raha during investigation hour, so. ]

[antline]

A bomb? Is there anything like that here?

[obtect]

Building one might not be out of the question. Maybe.

[antline]

But what can one use here to make one?

[obtect]

[For the sake of not ending up on a watchlist for my search history, we can’t get into specifics, but-]

There’s all the stuff in the workshop, isn’t there? It’s not exactly modern but it could get the job done.

[ocenon]

Nobody noticed the workshop being disturbed, did they?

[antemeridian]

Moreover, did we find any fragments that might have come from the shells or casings of the bombs themselves?
