MOCK TRIAL

"Alright, mooks, everybody make youse way down to the trial room, pronto!"

[There's certainly no trial room on the map. No trial soundstage, no trial room, where oh where could they be talking about. You might spend a long time looking for it, or only be thinking about it for a single second before it comes over you.

Whenever you close your ears, or even blink, you find yourself there.

The room is a cartoony laboratory, filled to the brims with scientific equipment and beakers beyond wondrous, almost impossible to imagine being utilized in any sort of actual scientific context. A large monitor is mounted on the ceiling, playing a single clip on repeat along with the words "IMAGINEER THINK TANK". There is a large stage underneath that television, which your two hosts take their places at quite readily.

A circle of metal podiums is set up on the ground floor, 26 in total. Each is marked with a name and a photograph of the individual who's supposed to take their place there, as well as a keyboard for inputting...something. The 26th podium is marked with a grayscale photograph of Gwenpool.

Your fellow participants appear in the room one-by-one, seeming to "digitize" out of nowhere. Once everyone has appeared in the room and taken their place, the air around them seems to go deathly still.

Mugsi holds a cigar between her lips, lighting it from a stick of dynamite lit by Kate. With Mugsi taking a deep inhale, Kate speaks, the dynamite somehow fizzling out.]


Each of you has a place you oughta be sitting, and your job is to solve the mystery that's been put before ya. Once you think you know who did it, input their name on the keyboard in front of you. Majority rules, participation is mandatory, and if ya vote wrong you're not gonna see the light of day ever again!

So, get on with it!

Shall we all bake something?

[Perfect time for a baking contest!]

I don't think our lovely hosts are going to let us adjourn for a bake-off.

What if we offered them a place on the judging panel?

[And if anyone has some of the rat poison...]

They seem set on this ending in a more violent way.

If they're this set on the trial being so early, some breakfast would have been fine.

I was hoping we could merely take everyone at their word, and simply ask what the extent of their baking talent is. But I suppose a criminal wouldn't be entirely forthcoming about something that could very well convict them.

In any case, I don't believe we have the equipment we'd need to carry out such a test at the present.

...Additionally, I found blood and some red fibers under her nails. [ He takes out the ones he'd stashed in his handkerchief. ] It may have come from her fending off her attacker. And since so many of you opt for varying states of undress... [ JUDGING
but really the murder thing is more important.

So that gives us...

Lunkhead, Moneybags and...[He can't think of a nickname for Minnie. He settles for pointing.] Her?

Are you able to determine what material these fibers are made from? It might be easier to judge whether or not they came from clothing of any sort, first and foremost.

[personal profile] not_over_yet 2017-12-09 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
All I could determine is that they're some sort of natural material. But that may help with narrowing things down.
