FIRST TRIAL

[despairection]

[The moon has gone back into the sky and Mac Graziano, the Super High School Level Boxer, is the reason for it. The champ-to-be was found in front of the Theater by his classmates.

Once the announcement sounds, large green pipes appear in front of the students. Going down these pipes will place students in an empty but spacious courtroom. In the center is a circle of 15 wooden podiums. 14 stand empty. Standing at the 15th is a framed photo of Mac in the middle of a tremendous uppercut, with a pink X slashed across it.

There is a podium for each student with their names engraved on bronze-looking plaques on the front of each podium. On the inside, facing the stool where students have the option to sit, is a screen and keyboard. These will be used in voting for the assumed culprit.

What will their collected evidence tell them? Will the truth be revealed or will only one leaving the campground?

14 students remain.]



[Let the class trial in the murder of Mac Graziano...begin.]



[ooc: Welcome to the first trial, dearies! The podium chart is set up by room numbers. Please ping me on Plurk if something comes up that requires mod clarification!]

Do you have the sock with you?

[To answer, she turns around, unrolls her yoga mat, and pulls out a pair of Red-and-white striped socks. They are wet and stained with mud.]

[green_mario]

[Luigi very noticeably stiffens.]

B-but those... those are...

[theothersissel]

[Somebody looks shocked. TIME FOR PRESSING:]

Those are what? Speak up.

[green_mario]

Th... those... are mine...

[squidsisterpink]

[Well, of all the people she expected to kill someone, Luigi was probably last on that list.

Except something is not right.]

Were you missing any socks?

[green_mario]

W-well not... not really.

[squidsisterpink]

...What about right now? Are you wearing socks right now?

[green_mario]

[Well...]

[totaldrag]

...take your shoes off.

[green_mario]

W-why?

[totaldrag]

Do it.

[green_mario]

[Not wanting to face Ashley's wrath, Luigi nervously takes of his shoes.

And indeed, he is completely barefoot without them on.]

[totaldrag]

Now give them to me.

[theothersissel]

Yours?

[Okay now, maybe we're getting somewhere!]

What were you doing last night, may I ask?

[green_mario]

I... Might-a have been taking a walk last night.

[theothersissel]

Why were you taking a walk last night? Did you go anywhere near the theater?

[green_mario]

I-I couldn't sleep last night, but I-I definitely didn't go through the theater!

[superstylishschism]

What about by it?

[totaldrag]

[These would be excellent for one of her potions.]

...who wears socks like these.

[squidsisterpink]

Or, at the very least, can tell us what color they were? Then we can compare to what other people wear and see if they match up.

[fitnessenthusiast]

They were white and another color.

[Wiitney.]

[squidsisterpink]

...and the other color was...?

[fitnessenthusiast]

Not blue or green.

[squidsisterpink]

[SO HELPFUL but thankfully the socks are here so.]

Right. Thanks.
