first trial

[Once you make your way to the portrait gallery, Facilier's snarky voice chimes in as per usual.]

One of you folks actually went and did it. Not surprised: they always do. Besides, if you were gonna kill someone, the grandma ain't a bad start. Figure it this way: how many of you actually liked her?

[Suddenly, the whole room seems to move downwards. The walls get longer, and the ceiling grows further away from you. The portraits themselves seem to extend, as the room moves downwards at a startling pace.]

Things are not always as they seem, gentlemen. Can it be this room is actually stretching? And notice this: this chamber has no windows and no doors, which offers you this chilling challenge… to find a way out. Of course, there’s always our way.

[Suddenly, the floor stops. A new door opens at the side of the room.

Inside is what appears to be an old voodoo shop, covered in various artifacts and an unsettling large voodoo head at the back of the room. There is a summoning circle painted into the floor with a deep red paint. Each of you has a place within this circle, with a wooden podium marked with your room number waiting for you there. Podium 26 has a single candle lit aflame, as well as what appears to be a voodoo doll of Madame Mim stuck to the top of it.

Light music plays in the background.

Once you all take your place, Facilier himself appears within the middle of the circle, out of a cloud of smoke.]


You're here to figure out who did this. Once you have a hunch, you can feel free to write it down on the podium in front of you, but there are no takebacks. Majority rules, and your participation is mandatory.

'Course, you have all the time you need, if you want it.

Her curse also gave her a terrible back.

[He can still hear it cracking.]

Then in that case...could it be she grabbed the arm on the way down and pulled it off? That would explain the handprint and the beard hairs.
athleticallyinclined: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-20 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
The only thing I tied up was a vicious, dangerous animal.
sorrydoods: (you talkin shit)

[personal profile] sorrydoods 2018-01-20 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he'd flip him off if those kids weren't here.]

Just...just be quiet and let us actually try to figure this out, okay?
pinkflip: (how did I become so obnoxious?)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2018-01-20 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Would, um, that be where it all started? The casino, then to the...dining room or foyer?
not_over_yet: (I don't know what you want from me!)

[personal profile] not_over_yet 2018-01-20 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
She was making potions at some point--she at least retained some magic...?

[ Yes? No? Any magic-user, pls confirm/deny. ]

Grabbed it to steady herself as she went down, sure. Did we figure out which one it came from?

The one with the gaudy yellow suit.

... You can’t just go and pin the blame on people you don’t like. She wasn’t ripped to shreds.
athleticallyinclined: (as a specimen yes i'm intimidating)

[ Will Smith pose at the Beast ]

Do you feel safe with this monster wandering around?

[personal profile] stanbyme 2018-01-20 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Or she was lookin to con anyone dumb enough to drink it.

[He's not a magic user but he knows snake oil when he smells it]

[God just hearing the words "Bludgeoned to death" sends shivers down Marco's spine.]

So...... the fact that there's blood in different places is weird, right? Did she have any other injuries anywhere 'cause if not I have a feeling the murderer might've gotten hurt pretty bad, too.
athleticallyinclined: (I say we KILL THE BEAST)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-20 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's slowly beginning to dawn on Gaston that he isn't getting anywhere with this. ]

Prove to me it was someone else, then.
upgradeit: (it's gonna take a superman)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you remember what else? Like, was she weaker maybe?
stanbyme: (pic#11876958)

[personal profile] stanbyme 2018-01-20 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well good riddance.
faciliheir: (us and our shadows)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-01-20 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
If they actually affected people-- and they did-- she still had her magic. I think the curse just stopped her transformation powers from working, not her magic entirely.
athleticallyinclined: (shall I join you this evening?)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-20 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rude ]

No, but I was attacked!

[ did you see his bite mark yet basil

from when the beast bit him

because you're seeing it now ]

[personal profile] hasit 2018-01-20 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You bring up a very good point. I did notice that the blood in the foyer was in droplets, and it didn't look as if there were drag marks. Not to mention all those broken plates.

Perhaps...we ought to be examining for injuries?
athleticallyinclined: (It's hero time)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-20 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
A feral, unpredictable monster.
bayoublues: (yall serious)

[Louis peers above his podium.]

I knocked her over with my tail, once. She had a hard time gettin' up again.

[After a pause:]

It was an accident. I swear.
not_over_yet: (perfectly normal way to sit in a chair)

[personal profile] not_over_yet 2018-01-20 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It could have been both. She didn't take her magic--or anything else that I observed--very seriously.
sharpasanarrow: (You think you can get away with saying t)

[personal profile] sharpasanarrow 2018-01-20 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I should think I'm in the clear.

[Can he even bleed?]
hasit: (09)

[personal profile] hasit 2018-01-20 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
That could be from the killer's attempt at moving her body?
athleticallyinclined: (It's hero time)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-20 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ option c ]

Are you accusing me of murdering that poor woman?

Me?
sorrydoods: (That's...not good)

[personal profile] sorrydoods 2018-01-20 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah, that sounds about right. Like, they were playing something in there, something goes wrong, table gets flipped, and they run...

[Glances at that map Hiro made]

Into the foyer? That one's easiest.
