[ WEEK THREE – TRIAL ]

[sheriffexe]

TRIAL

In the morning, the town comes back to life. Birds crow overhead, a snake nearby hisses, a lingering coyote dips behind a shop before disappearing into the wild. It's a frightening contrast to the stillness of yesterday but it doesn't mean it's over yet. After all, today is the trial. The Sheriff stands on the porch of the Town Hall and brings his hand up to his mouth to let out a whistle. He'll thumb back to the Hall behind him and very clearly state -- "Trial time, folks. Get in here and figure out who did it." And then he'll turn to leave before pausing and adding on, "Bring a snack or somethin' too. The Town Hall is set up more like a court house, a Judge's bench at the front but instead of at center, it's off to the side as if more for observation than participation. There's a table at the front of the room already holding a small box and a pad of papers and pen, for voting apparently. A side room containing only a metal gurney is next and today it's obvious why there's a gurney there at all with the corpse, resting right on top of it. Aside from that, there are rows for everyone to take a seat and it's only after everyone is inside and settled, that the doors close and the Sheriff speaks. "Well, have at it. You've got till nine." And then, he points to a clock on the wall that reads 12:00. Good luck. Welcome to the trial post! Characters are free to discuss everything related to the trial here. They won't be let out of the room until 9PM when voting ends. Every character must vote and the voting post can be found here. If there are any questions, please shoot a message to this journal or to robowest.

s...trip... searches...

[sating]

We don't have much time left, so let's continue this part of the investigation efficiently.

[ Even though this is absolutely ridiculous, honestly, but. Hannibal is going with it. ]

We believe there may be people with injuries hidden by their clothing, so we will be inspecting certain parties for them. I will look over the gentlemen, and any women that may be comfortable with me doing so. [ like, might as well make this quick ] So, please.

[ line up I guess we're going to town ]

[uraniumnumnum]

... They don't come off. Don't bother trying.

[ if it's not obvious by the fact that some parts of his bizarre outfit appear to be nailed to his skin... ]

[sating]

[ Yeah, Hannibal has definitely noticed that, which is why he nods ]

I had no intention to, actually. You would not even bruise, would you?

[feminitis]

If we have a lot of men or women who are okay with us checking them and not enough time, I'm here to assist you, Sensei!

[no]

[dmails]

[Really? He's getting strip searched, and it's not by a cute redhead, but by this dude?? He could appreciate it if it were a girl?!]

[Either way, Okabe comes to his time in line and sheds his shirt. He's a scrawny fellow - not much meat or muscle, all pale with gangly limbs.]

[But there are no injuries!]

Do you need the pants, too? [why this]

Re: s...trip... searches...

[glaring]

[ in case her toilet alibi isn't enough she'll (unhappily, but?? she did start this SEARCH FOR INJURIES thing) let him check her over. ]

[sidearmofthelaw]

[ Nisha raises her eyebrows, but she also starts unbuttoning her shirt. ]

I don't have any problem with it.

[ When she takes off her shirt and vest, she reveals a fashionable purple bra, and... the fact that she is injured, rough gashes on the outside of her bicep and side. They're scabbed over and healing, though; at least a few days old. ]

I got in a fight on Sunday night.

[a_sin_for_him]

[Oh good god...]

How much clothing should we remove?

[Yeah, she doesn't need a woman to 'inspect' her, nudity means very little to Lust.]

[ceded]

[ She'll volunteer, to clear her own name, not minding pretty much because it's Hannibal. It's not like she really does have anything to hide, anyway. Her only injury is her still-broken foot. ]

[moraled]

[Sigh....... This is inappropriate...... but he knows he's gotta be cooperative, considering he's on one of the wanted posters for the week.

So he'll be fair and let Hannibal check him over. Or Sei too if she wants Abs. Whatever.

EITHER WAY, no bruises, no injuries.]

[tightly]

[ Well, she already was the subject of Claire's sexual boasts, so might as well get naked for the whole town or whatever. Ultimately, she has zero injuries on her person. ]

[hitsitoff]

[Well okay, this... this is happening. But fine, whatever, let's do this.

...okay maybe it doesn't look quite that dramatic right now, but whatever. He's taking his shirt off. Impressive muscles, a shitload of old scars, but no recent injuries, no bruises.]

[impulsiveness]

[THIS WAS A MISTAKE BUT

here they are.]

I'm one of those who suggested it, so I don't have a problem. Let's just get it done.

[Somewhere out there, the culprits are laughing their asses off.]

[sweats]

[ HE'S... NOT GOING TO DO THIS. he just wants to stand to the side and give hannibal shit.

but yeah he is super duper not doing this. ]

[guiltlevel]

[ This better be done privately because there are kids here, man. But he'll be ok with Hannibal checking him considering he overheard that he's a doctor!

Though... No injuries under his clothes, so there's that. ]

[hydrokinetics]

[He knows he doesn't have to clear his own name, but he wants to be leading by example. So he's fine stripping, all you're getting from him are years-old scars and his stupid tattoo listed on his wanted poster.]

[combattente]

[Ezio shrugs and is generally... pretty casual as he takes off his clothes, considering he and Hannibal have lived together all this time.

He definitely has a few scars asides from the obvious one on his face, but they're clearly not from anything recent. Enjoy muscular assassin man??]

[generously]

This is the second time you've asked me to remove my belt, doc.

[ He complies, however! And there will be no injuries on him whatsoever. ]

[insincerely]

[yeah so]

Seizaburo already checked me, for the record.

[flippity]

[ she has zero issues with this tbh... but no injuries, except for some cuts and bruises on her feet but that's because she runs around barefoot all the time. someone please make her wear shoes it's been three weeks. ]

[alcobrawlic]

Right, okay. [ Well, Hannibal seems pretty gay, so she's fine with letting him look. There are a few scars here and there, maybe more than you'd expect on a lady, but they're all old. No injuries or bruises! ]

[elemancy]

[if it's going to clear more names, noctis is fine with partaking as well.

not that there's anything to reveal—a few small scars here and there that are clearly far older than the amount of time they've been whole assing anything.

y...ay...

this is weird and mildly uncomfortable though.]

[thatsthespirit]

[JUST]

[STRIPPING RIGHT HERE]

[RIGHT NOW]

[NO SHAME]

[also no injuries, although that's probably not surprising considering she was locked in the clinic Thursday night]

[but definitely no shame, either]

[court_chesster]

[ Acquiesces in a manner not unlike that of a blushing bride. There's nothing of note to be found. Really, the only surprising thing about Simon is that he clearly hits the gym. ]

[dubiousalignment]

[Tarvek approaches. Good thing he has experience in being almost naked in front of people, so baring his torso is no big deal.

No injuries here! There are a few scars, but nothing recent. Tarvek may be a bit heavier than he should be, but he's fit and strong]
