WEEK 1 || act: indict

[foundationmods]

[Saturday dawns, bright and early again - and Undyne comes to the inn, flanked by the Royal Guard...all of the Dogs in the area, in their armor or uniforms.

You all only have enough time to get ready - wash yourselves, put on your masks and clothing - before you're ushered out, guarded so heavily that it's clear they expect trouble. Monsters on the way watch you warily, whispering and either looking angry or shocked.

It's clear they no longer have such kind thoughts of you, after what happened.

You're all lead out past Snowdin and Waterfall, into an area that's hot, and the glow of subterranian lava lights the area. Then, past a large hotel...into an area that looks metallic, where some kind of whitish, rainbow-gleaming liquid can be seen below.

In this area, you are led to a wider platform that is still open to the liquid before, with the handrails in place - where there are some seats around, and a familiar face waiting to speak with you.

This...for all of you, it is a familiar sight.

It is a trial location.

You are here to find the killer...and convict one of your own, in a murder that makes no sense.

But you have no choice.

You can only forge ahead....and try to find out the truth.]

The bullet wound and no, I couldn't find the bullet, despite the evidence of an exit wound.

Kill shot with the gun, then stabbing to make sure?

Or something else...

The stabs were straight across, right? Like a pronged weapon?

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He shook his head]

More like an individual weapon used three times.

[cw_suicide]

What would even be the point of that... a headshot is already most likely a certain death...

[improbablenotimpossible]

That is the puzzling part... The wounds weren't someone that did it out of anger... it was oddly proficient like the culprit wanted to make absolutely sure she's dead by hitting all the vitals.

[le_mat]

Why stab her though, if the wound so clearly killed her? Unless...

[He touches the side of his face in thought, but to the others in the party he clearly is tapping his mask tilted on the side of his head... then subtly shifts it down over his face. The gesture looks like a cat stress washing- especially once the mask now makes him look like his much shorter disguise to everyone also wearing masks.]

They thought a Monster could survive a hit like that?

['Or thought they were aiming much lower?' his silent question asks]

[improbablenotimpossible]

That's one possible theory.

[le_mat]

The other likely option is... they did it because they wanted to. Or were lashing out.

[Sadism, basically]

If someone was willing to go so far for no reason, I can't put something like that past them.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Sadistic killings aren't so clean in my experience.

[romancekiller]

Maybe their intent with that was throw us off or at least make it more difficult to narrow down who could done it.
