FIRST TRIAL

Alright, everyone! You’ve had your fun - meet in my famous Swackhammer Trash Castle(c) for the next phase of this murder thing ASAP!

[...okay, we’re going to the trash castle. The trash drawbridge lowers, allowing you access.

Inside the trash castle is what appears to be...a basketball stadium, albeit one made out of trash. In the center of the court are around 26 podiums - each with a name enscribed on them. There are also bleachers available should you need alternative seating arrangements. There are also a large number of basketballs in the area, and two of the podiums are literally on fire - Boss Baby’s and Zhu Li Moon’s.

There’s also a stand selling overpriced hot dogs and beer. King Dice is running it.

Mr. Swackhammer has his own little box high above the basketball court, and observes with intrigue.]


You all get a fair chance to figure out who committed the murder! Once you’re ready to pin it on someone, you have to say that person’s name and sink a basket - nah, I’m just kidding. You write it down. Majority rules, and your participation is mandatory! Don’t vote, you’re dead! Vote wrong and you’re dead! Have fun!

[Staying far away from the fire]

I found Zhu Li's notebook in her room. So she probably wasn't investigating anything when...that happened.

If anyone actually did this for that stupid bus, I'm punching their face off. ...Metaphorically. Probably.
treefetish: (far away from your trouble and worry)

[just. wonders if even asking is a good idea.

decides knowlege is power. asks anyway.]


Uh. What exactly are we doing right now?

[personal profile] toogoodtobetrue 2018-06-16 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
So...she was just going around, and someone came and attacked her? That's cowardly!
toogoodtobetrue: 7 (7)

[personal profile] toogoodtobetrue 2018-06-16 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...I guess we'll have to be detectives, if we don't want to die.

[And Coraline has no idea where to start]

We seem to be forced to figure out who murdered Zhu li.
treefetish: (let your heart be your guide)

[personal profile] treefetish 2018-06-16 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Um. Okay. Cool.

[YEAH SHE TOTALLY KNOWS WHAT THIS MEANS THIS EXPLANATION IS PERFECT THANK YOU oh god]
essentiallyinvisible: (worrying about the future)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-16 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...or someone lured her out somehow. Or maybe it has something to do with the broken glider...did you find any clues with it?
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-16 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You think if we figure out who did it, they die instead?

[Cause that would save a lot of time, really.]
treefetish: (than forget what I had to say)

[personal profile] treefetish 2018-06-16 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
None of us really seem qualified for this?
essentiallyinvisible: (worrying about the future)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-16 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure if we work together we can figure something out.

[She doesn't sound 100% confident though.]

[personal profile] thegreateggscape 2018-06-16 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, this is horrid.

Not only was another person dead, but...well, she was surrounded by trash. Something's on fire. This whole situation seemed hell-bent on not being taken seriously.

With a resigned determination to get this whole thing over with, Ginger pulls herself up onto the podium.]


What happens once we've found the culprit?
handhook: so get used to seeing it (dcau aquaman only makes one face)

[personal profile] handhook 2018-06-16 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should start with where the body was found, if we want to know why she was out.
thegreateggscape: (04)

[personal profile] thegreateggscape 2018-06-16 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose it'd be over too quickly if we were.
treefetish: (not much hair left on his head)

[personal profile] treefetish 2018-06-16 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It just kinda seems unfair, if being wrong means we die...
oh_worm: (hhuh?)

[personal profile] oh_worm 2018-06-16 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
So... I looked at the body! That's how my morning went.

[ Beth contemplates setting her hot dog down on her podium, decides against it. ]

Her only injuries seemed to be from the burns, no... stabs or whatever. She was holding a piece of metal in her hand, and she was wearing... well, she was wearing basketball shoes and a uh. A poop hat. She was wearing a hat shaped like poop. But it didn't have much oil on it, so I... don't think she was wearing it when she got uh... you know.

[ Dunked on. ]
candymancan: (tell me more)

[personal profile] candymancan 2018-06-16 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wonka's here, looking bored out of his mind.]

The sooner we get this done, the sooner I can get back to harassing the dice man for not being at his casino. [Waves at the hot dog stand]

Her face was stuffed into a pot of cooking oil that had been boiling at the time. Going out on a limb here, but that was probably the cause of death.

I also found some other interesting things on the counter and stove.
treefetish: (and history books forgot about us)

[personal profile] treefetish 2018-06-16 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

Oh. It's because it's fun for them, isn't it. That's the reason.
essentiallyinvisible: (worrying about the future)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-16 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
The Park Owner seems like he enjoys being unfair, sadly.
candymancan: (smug fuck)

[personal profile] candymancan 2018-06-16 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
So what you're suggesting is, someone killed her and then put a hat on her head. A hat made to look like shit.

Why am I not surprised.

[Wonka acting like that's not the same sort of stupid petty shit he would do]
essentiallyinvisible: (about to cry)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-16 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh god. She's glad she avoided the body touching.]

Interesting how?
thegreateggscape: (*inhales*)

[personal profile] thegreateggscape 2018-06-16 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately.
oh_worm: (no really)

[personal profile] oh_worm 2018-06-16 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that seems about right from what I saw. This was a... weirdly petty murderer, I guess.
toogoodtobetrue: 10 (10)

[personal profile] toogoodtobetrue 2018-06-16 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
About that...all I know is that there were some parts missing, but maybe when she received it it was already broken?
