WEEK 4 - TRIAL

[petoskeymods]

TRIAL

It takes a full day after finding the body, but on Saturday, the counselors call you all to the campfire, the bonfire already roaring away as everyone finds their seats. Red is seated there, and this time Stan is as well - holding the Voting box in his hands, looking grim.

It looks like you're here to find the killer.

And just like before, you know you'll be forced to vote before the night's over...

And condemn someone to a grisly fate.

VICTIM: Kanji Tatsumi
CAMPERS REMAINING: 17

((Remember that Everyone must vote and that Votes are due by 6pm EST!))

COUNSELORS

Alibis

[linearcrash]

[ Nine is here, sporting a bruise on his cheek. ]

Alright, let's get this over with, yo. Where was everyone during the night?

Grassy Field

[finalguard]

[ Boa investigated the field together with Eddie and Richie. They found the following:

-a massive puddle of blood
-charred grass around and extremely deep fist imprints
-a charred branch that may have been used as a torch
-bloody footprints and drag marks leading towards the firepit, the foot size matches an older boy

[fallbymyhands]

[eyeing him a little bit when she sees that bruise, but]

Kurosaki, Utsugi, Ashikawa and I patrolled the outer camp grounds. As I did last Thursday, and the Thursday before.

. . . we saw nor heard nothing.

[finalguard]

[ Boa nods approvingly at Nine taking up the efficient method here. ]

I was in cabin 3 all night. Chuuta can confirm this.

[le_mat]

I was in Cabin 2 with Gonta, Marisa and Richie until curfew, then moved back to Cabin 1.

[diesifkilled]

I was in the kitchen until curfew and then returned to Cabin 1.

[Yes, again. Feel free to judge him.]

You can ask Red for confirmation on that.

[finalguard]

When were the times you passed the field? We might be able to narrow down the time of death that way.

[linearcrash]

[ It wasn't there during their investigation. ]

Yeah, I can confirm. I saw you guys.

[trashmouthtozier]

I was looking for stuff about the camp in the Lodge ... then I went in Cabin 2 with Ren and Gonta and Marisa. I headed back to our cabin for curfew.

[a pause]

When I was in the Lodge, I didn't see anyone else.

RV Camp

[fallbymyhands]

[and over here, Mitsuru, Nine and Marisa found]

[- an empty can of catfoot a little distance from an RV
- a 45 caliber empty bullet casing closer to the RV
- a tree with a bullet hole and a bullet lodged within it. the angle suggests the shot came from the hippie RV with the UFOs, and the bullet is one used by the hunters
- the bullet had no blood on it, so Nine is not sure it actually hit a person
- the RV person was unfriendly and did not wish to talk :(]

[stanboozled]

[Stan is here, but he doesn't look particularly chatty tonight.

Almost like he's biding his time...]

[bladeisme]

[Just nods in confirmation.

They sure did.]

Kitchen

[diesifkilled]

[The following was found:

-Two broken cups, one of them on the ground
-The one on the ground smelled faintly of tea and had a raccoon pawprint on it
-An overturned basket of lemons]

[yunolikebugs]

Yeah. Gonta and Marisa in cabin, then Ren came in through window for some reason, then Richie rushed in.

Re: Alibis

[itsagazebo]

Cielo and me were in the clearing... but we didn't see anything.

[He looks concerned at that bruise]

What happened to you?

[finalguard]

Through the window...?

Cabin 3

Fire Pit

[killtheanimals]

They found a burned body in the fire pit!
The burn marks have no stone in them, and also his knuckles are bruised.
There's soil under his fingernails and an extra pair of burned and warped camp shoes were at the scene.
There's a stab wound in the center of his chest that was cauterized. It's about broadsword-sized.
The fire didn't kill Kanji, the sword did when it went through his heart until it hit his spine.

[killtheanimals]

[Also nodding, yup.]

[yunolikebugs]

Yeah! Ren said something about "aesthetics." Cabin 2 door work fine, though.

[trashmouthtozier]

[Richie raises a hand, wincing. there's a piece of orange cloth tied around his wrist like a bandana, and he's wearing the rest as a scarf]

... Um. I don't remember everybody's last names. Sorry?

[fallbymyhands]

I don't recall.

But even if I did, I'm not sure it would help. The week before, despite being outside, Lance, Nine and I didn't hear anything related to the incident with Kon and Sakasaki.

Both Ashikawa and Kurosaki had hypothesized that the stones in our brains are altering our perceptions. Had we been in the area when the murder occurred, we still may not have heard anything.

[fallbymyhands]

[she looks surprised, then nods]

You could have joined us, Nine.
