abhoth | ( murder proposals )

Part of the fun of playing in a murdergame is having a shot at crafting a murder. After all, who says factions should get to have all the fun?

But in order to make this happen, we ask that you submit a quick murder proposal first. This is mostly for organizational purposes (partly to avoid our timeline being flooded with easily missed PPs), and so we can determine whether a murder can take place during any given week or not. Don't worry if you've never done it before. No proposal needs to be perfect before making it to this page, it just needs to have a proper backbone.

We'll be shooting you a PP through plurk to give you the yay or nay, and help you iron out the details. In keeping with this, we would like to remind everyone that no character is infallible. Though we don't expect killers to be caught every single trial, there should always be a critical detail or mistake that will allow other players to solve the case... if they manage to put the pieces together.

Murder proposals must be submitted to this page using the following form, inspired by

cradleproject's proposal system. All murder proposals must be submitted before Tuesday, 9:00 PM EST to be taken into consideration. We will contact you on Plurk to give our blessings/reschedule/finalize the murder before Thursday 12:00 PM EST.

Character name: Your character's name.
Contact: Your plurk account, preferably, so we can iron out the details.
Suggested target: Who are you going to kill? We ask that you keep it to four victims maximum.
Suggested executioners: Should your character be caught, select five (5) characters for the Executioner Vote. This is your chance to hurt your friends.
Incentive: What are they asking for in return for murdering someone? This is where the Rewards/Motivations part of your application comes in.

Murder plot: Give us the basic gist of how your character will carry out the kill. It doesn't have to be anything super duper detailed — just enough for us to have an idea of how viable your character's plan is, and if it can be done during the current week. Even something as simple as "they're going to shoot them in the face???" would work.

Evidence/Clues: Again, there is no such thing as a perfect murder. While it shouldn't be obvious your character did it (unless you want it that way), it should still be possible for other players to figure it out by putting their critical thinking skills to use. You may suggests ways the victim could mess things up for the killer (by bruising them, for example) or items/weapons left behind. We suggest obscure, canon-specific clues be left aside. This is so the trials are fair. Or... fairish.

Anything else?: If you have something you believe wasn't covered above, lay it on us here.

Character name: Suzaku
Contact:

ddsapphire
Suggested target: L’arachel, Apollo Justice
Suggested executioners: Yukina, Andersen, Chiaki, Knoll, Kaiba
Incentive: Makai Whistle, his pet Murugu
Murder plot:

-Use the non-sharp side of the axe’s head to disorient one victim with blunt force trauma and once they’re winded, crush their windpipe with the wooden handle.

-Incapacitate the second somehow depending on how they arrive on the scene as well???

-Use his axe to destroy a piece of furniture.

-Using the wooden stakes from the furniture, but set it up to appear as if the two fought each other (making any wounds that appear more obviously axe-like to be obscured) as if one was killed during the fight and the other bled out from their wounds before they could make it back to the hotel and get help.

-Impale L’arachel to a wall with one wooden stake and hide the other, but leave splinters in Apollo’s hand.

-If there are any axes that can be stolen from an area in the setting, bury it somewhere by where the furniture was broken to try and make it seem like someone is covering up framing the woodsman (cause why would he use an axe that wasn’t his own?)

-Drag Apollo’s body so it looks as if he tried to drag himself away from the scene before collapsing.

Evidence/Clues:

-“justice” written in blood by L’arachel on the wall, her finger coated in her own blood.
-Buried (visible) Axe (if possible)
-Broken furniture
-Some dirt unnoticed underneath Suzaku’s fingernails
-Possible scratches around his ankles or wrists?
-Something generally fishy about the apparent cause of death/the crushed damaged neck on top of stab wounds from the wooden stakes.
-If Apollo is being framed as having been the one to impale L’arachel, how was he able to apply that much force (especially if her feet aren’t touching the ground, so it looks like she was lifted up and deliberately placed that way instead of having been rammed into the wall by brute force/out of a defensive attack.
-Blood flaking on the inside of Suzaku’s bracelets where he didn’t think to scrub.
-There could be strands of Suzaku’s hair stuck on Apollo’s body

Anything else?: Just let...him murder…??? :(
