MOCK ROUND - WEEK 2 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

Even though they had already been through this once before, the atmosphere in the air as they woke up on Friday still felt incredibly ominous.

Yet again, they would have to see the death of one of their own, and investigate as much as they could to find the culprit among them... 🗈

But unlike last time, today felt much more....intense. Like an odd smell in the air, or a palpable feeling of tension, something horrible hanging over them with a knowing sneer.

Even the sounds felt different, though all that could be heard is the normal sounds of the morning...
...

After this - after the final trial - things would be over.

Yet, has this....really been worth it...?

((OOC: Characters will need to bold locations/put it in the subject header to look for clues...or the body!))

I suppose you're playing this game, then, for the sake of unraveling the mystery? How helpful.

[No comment about the nature of the detective. She's being good. Maybe.]

And I am afraid you'll have to settle for being irritated. We are a strange bunch.

[very_good_end]

No doubt.

[bluntly]

Well?

[artificialhighness]

Well?

[very_good_end]

Did you commit the murder?

[artificialhighness]

No.

[very_good_end]

A direct answer. GOOD. Can you provide proof?

[artificialhighness]

It seems more efficient to bring the proof once everyone is present.

[She doesn't particularly feel like repeating herself, and the trial is going to take forever anyway. Luna is, sadly, not a very accommodating girl.]

[very_good_end]

[she just smiles]

Hold out your arms. Just one moment, s'il vous plaît.

[artificialhighness]

[She obligingly holds them out. They are slender and very much arm-like.]

[very_good_end]

[checks her fingernails for any sign of wear consistent with scratching another person, and her arm muscles for any signs of soreness.]

[artificialhighness]

[Her fingernails are perfect and her arm muscles don't tire. She's a robot, Erika.]

[very_good_end]

[pfft, sounds like something in a sci-fi story, which this clearly isn't. She retracts her hands.]

Mmhm. Thank you... Luna, was it? You may put your arms down now.

[artificialhighness]

[She also retracts her hands, folding them neatly in front of her and giving Erika a curious look.]

Did you decide to gather evidence yourself, because I wouldn't provide it yet? You are really quite helpful.

[very_good_end]

I prefer to do my own investigating when possible... "if" possible, I should say. Otherwise blind spots may result, where there's incomplete information.

Did you hear about the burned object?
