TRIAL IV

[lesmodsalouette]

Trial

Another Saturday, but this Saturday is your last Saturday. If everything holds, if everything works out. After all you've been through, are you capable of being an optimist? The carnival calls regardless, furniture arranged around as they always are with banquet table and pit in the middle.

This week's new offerings are: a fluffy loaf of a certain type of rye bread, a hearty beef stew and an assortment of fresh pies with candied fruit and cream.

For the last time, find out who killed two of your own: G'raha Tia and Sariel.

(( 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 ))

EXAMINE EVIDENCE

[lesmodsalouette]

hair check...

[safetycheck]

[ Lili has some of the black and white hair samples. Just wanna be thorough here: Are these...naturally black and white? Or is it colored black because it's sooty/scorched, etc.? Any scents? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[These are naturally black and white, there is no scorching! They also don't give off any particular scent.]

[safetycheck]

[ Sweet! Could I also get the length... I'm assuming we're looking at hair that's shorter than Lili's but you never know. ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[The hair is short in length. Definitely shorter than Lili's.]

black and white strands (solarium)

[baebladie]

[ Do these look like hair strands?

Ayaka handed 'em over. ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[They do indeed seem to be hair.]

[baebladie]

[ Similar to the question re: Lili's via hair strands...they look naturally like this? No scorching? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[Natural! No scorching.]

hair....... 3!

[ocenon]

[ Actually, just for clarification, is the hair a mix of individual black and white ones, or are they like. Each strand is visibly white and black? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ There's a mix of individual black and white ones! ]

g'raha's body

[arbalestrier]

[He wanted to check a couple things about that gunshot wound that Blade mentioned.

It was said that Blade wouldn't recognize it, but would Sousuke? Does it also seem to match the use of a lead ball like one used for flintlocks?

Also, is there any stippling near the wound from unburnt gunpowder? He's basically looking for a very rough approximation of range, where nearer shots tend to leave a bit of gunpowder on the victim's skin.]

[lesmodsalouette]

[The wound does match that type of ammunition!

Also, upon close inspection Sousuke can indeed find gunpowder near the wound.]

[arbalestrier]

[Huh! Okay, that's good to know. Also to save us from making a new header, does the gunshot wound on G'raha match the one on Sariel?

Also looking at the stippling for Sariel as well.]

[lesmodsalouette]

[Yes, the wounds match, including the stippling.]

A R M

[uiscebeatha]

[ Cain is here to look at the missing piece of Sariel!

Assuming it's bare—does it still have the same kind of cuts over it like the rest of his body did? Is the wound at the elbow any different from where it was torn? And is there similar bruising/scrapes on his knuckles on this hand, too? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ Yes to both - the lower arm has the same kinds of tearing injuries as the upper arm and torso, and there is bruising and scraping on the knuckles here as well.

The spot where the arm was severed looks matching to the way it looked on the main body. ]

[uiscebeatha]

[ Excellent, thank you! ]

clothes in laundry room

[safetycheck]

[ Commenting here since Pom is out, assuming Richard would've let Lili look at this, etc.

What size is the outfit (coat, pants, gloves) found in the Laundry Room? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ The outfit is of medium size. ]

[safetycheck]

[ So for reference, if she held it up to her own body, would it be too big for her or fit just right? ]

[lesmodsalouette]

[ It looks like it's a bit too big to fit her properly. ]

wintering room evidence

[arbalestrier]

[Okay he's here to check a couple of things out. First off, the sword in the sheath. Is that recognizable as something that someone was carrying around (e.g. in previous weeks during an item check)?

Second, he wants to look at one of the panels of the wooden lattice. I assume the set up is that the metal spikes are protruding out of the wood or something? Correct me if I'm wrong. But otherwise, how heavy is a single panel?

[lesmodsalouette]

[The sword in the sheath can't be traced to any one person that way, but it does look like something that came from the Mars Room.

The metal spikes are slotted into the wood. Is he picking up the panel while the bags are attached?]

[arbalestrier]

[Thumbs up about the sword

He's picking up the panel without the bags!]
