WEEK 1 TRIAL

[probe]

POPULATION: 33

Rise and shine, little sinners. Did you rest well? Hope you weren't too perturbed by the events of the day before. Things seem to be perfectly normal throughout your morning, but at 12pm, everyone will receive a mass text message to their phone.

good evening, good morning and hello! please come join us in the conference room!

Whether you agree or disagree, soon you will find yourself physically moving toward the conference room on the bottom floor, filing into the room and taking a seat in one of the vacant chairs. Two metal boxes sit at the end of each table along with a collection of pens and colored notecards. At the head of the room, Lust, Pride, Envy and Gluttony patiently wait as the TV above them displays a message.

Victims: Kaz Kaan, Grell Sutcliff

Once the last participant enters the room, the door will swing closed behind them and lock them inside.

For a moment, everything looks completely normal, until you notice Envy slumped face-down on the table, bleeding out from a stab wound in the front. Lust is busy putting a pink fluffy towel under their head, Pride is sitting slouched in a chair twirling a knife, and in that moment Gluttony claps their hands together to get everyone's attention.

"If you would please get started. You all have nine fleeting hours to find out what happened, and place your votes."

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Hello, and welcome to your second trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about the events of the day before! While mini-investigations were held yesterday, today is the day characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4pm EST/1pm PST to 5pm EST/2pm PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, while voting is not mandatory, we do have a voting page should characters wish to vote! Please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes (9pm EST/6pm PST) if you wish to vote.

Good luck, and have fun!

INVESTIGATIONS

[probe]

[Once a location has been requested, a sub-toplevel will go under here for all investigations to be threaded out and to keep things organized.]

TEA ROOM

[probe]

[pride pockets their knife, for now, and stands up to lead molly, meg, and nathan off to the tea room. they open the door, and rest against the wall, watching.

the tea room seems normal, at first glance!]

[heliosenergy]

[ Nathan is going to meander over towards the tables to check if any tea has been brewed or if there's signs of anyone having a late night tea party. ]

Hopefully no one actually killed in here. I wouldn't want such a cute room to be ruined.

[callmemeg]

They said they smelled smoke, right? Looks like they didn't start the fire here.

[ but is there anything on the ground as meg slowly wanders in? footprints or any kind of trail or odd marks? ]

[headmt]

[just busy giving pride a wide enough berth to stay out of stabbing range he remembers what he did earlier in the week so its fine its all fine]

Smoke, chocolate taste, dancing china, from what I can recall.

[Actually, if Nathan is checking tea and meg is checking the ground, Molly will go over and start poking through the sandwiches and snacks and what not?]

[probe]

[the sweets and sandwiches and things don't seem to be much different than usual. they're in the pretty little tiered arrangements. none of the tables seem disturbed.

however, there's something dark on the ground a few feet away from meg, in the wall-to-wall fake grass carpet.]

[heliosenergy]

[ Aw no poisoned goodies to try ]

Doesn't look like anyone had a tea party during the murder. See anything over there?

MED BAY

[probe]

[the three of them all come out on the other side, fit as fiddles, in the med bay.]

Here you are.

[dotcom]

[ god he hates this place.

ANYWAY. in the med bay, first thing first, is there anything that is immediately off that is impossible to miss? anything on fire? ]

[fluffier]

What did ya say ya saw here last night, Takeru? Someone tryna get out of the pods?

[ immediately goes over to snoop ]

[fisherwoman]

[If there's nothing immediately noticeable, she's going to head over towards the beds, since Yuel has the pods covered!]

Mineo said there was something off about them, too.

[probe]

[gluttony stands just beside the wall where the portal opened, balancing pride's knife blade on the tip of a single gloved finger while they look.

there is nothing immediately impossible to miss. no fire here. everything looks exceedingly put together, unfortunately.

the pods are fine, not even an open door, or blood, or stains. nothing.

likewise, the beds are pristine. no blood, no mysterious sticky substances.]

[dotcom]

... I don't know how relevant the knocking was to this. It may have just been to mess with us.

[ anyway

since they actually took stock of what was in here before curfew, if sasazuka goes through the medical items, will he notice anything missing? in different places? ]

KITCHEN

[probe]

[the portal opens into the kitchen, and they probably all trip as they step out. the whole entire kitchen is full of

big toblerones? they're everywhere.]

Ah. Another mess.

[they sound fucking tired.]

[commedia]

...

[Luckily, Douman doesn't trip over any, but they're shocked enough to just gaze around, wide-eyed, and, with a blunt, harsh tone, say:]

What the FUCK is all of this, then?

[(holt voice) TOBLERONNNNNNEEEEE????]

[housewolf]

There's always a fucking mess.

[Omi doesn't trip, but he does step on one.

He will pick it up.]

Ain't these the chocolates Kaz liked?

[chevaleros]

[ she's going to lose her sense of decorum around these two as well, cripes. ]

...Well, perhaps we've figured out where he went after he left his room.

[ she'll step lightly over the chocolates to check out the vending machine that probably spawned them. ]

[probe]

[the toblerone omi picks up does, in fact, have chocolate in it because it's heavy as heck. but it's just a toblerone. in the space of where it was though, there are a few faint bits of dry red liquid.

the vending machines are fine. there isn't any damage to them. the toblerones probably came out of it, yeah.]

[commedia]

These are chocolates?

[They're. Very big for chocolates. But noticing that red liquid, Douman also moves to pick a couple of them from the floor.]

Why would anyone need so many?

PLANETARIUM

[probe]

[envy leads their group to the planetarium! it looks more or less like it normally does, but there does seem to be something on the floor...? maybe a couple of things.]

Here you go!

[messybench]

Thanks. Uh, don't get stabbed, I guess?

[ eleanor will immediately go to check out what is on the floor. also she brought gloves bc i'm not zukoing again ]

[liuli]

Thank you, Envy. [ if the things are not near each other, gu yun, also wearing a pair of black gloves from his home outfit today, will go check out the other thing on the floor.

also are there any traces of glitter or anything around? just wondering. ]

[bonetiddies]

Thank you, Envy.

[She slaps him right across the face. No, just kidding, she does not. She just nods at him.

She will just check out. . . anything else that is on the floor.]

[probe]

[thanks for not slapping him!

anyway what they find is... a tray of what appears to be the remains of a pizza? it's only the crusts. the rest has been eaten.

there is a note with the tray, and along with it is an abandoned bop-it.]

[messybench]

Oh, boy. I don't like where this is going.

[ time to read the note!! the other two can handle the bop-it. ]
