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 ))

An intentional act on Ish's part, I presume.

[allrounder]

I believe so. 'Twould not be amusing if we captured our culprit with one glance for injuries.

[divineth]

Then we must needs view our findings with a measure of scrutiny, as the culprit may have obtained one of these sprays.

[As nice as it would be to narrow down suspects from injury checks.]

[allrounder]

Indeed. Mayhap an examination for stray leaves from the hedges or gravel in one's shoes would be beneficial. Were there not so many in the library, I would suggest examining clothing for any singed edges, however...

[ that probably wouldn't get them very far ]

[divineth]

I agree. Finding such materials upon someone not confirmed to have been near the hedge maze would provide a lead.

[...]

The same could be true for anyone not involved in the library fire.

[Mysterious singes if you weren't even near the library would be Something.]

[ HMMMM ]

A report of every individual's alibi in tandem with searching for those potential clues may be in order.

[divineth]

[With a nod,]

As Homura said, the culprit hath had ample time to clean themselves, so our chances of success are not as high as I would like...

[But hey, it worked last time.]

However, in the case of singed garments, a full change would be in order.

[allrounder]

I have my doubts that everyone present might remember what they wore last night, but... 'twould be worth pursuing that angle, I believe.

[divineth]

[He's listening to what the others are saying to Homura...]

Verily, given the panic.

[allrounder]

[ SIGHS ]

The panic caused by the flames certainly worked to our culprit's advantage.
